oh terriffic…
today is supposed to be the coldest day of the year.
listen, i’ll stop writing weather related journal entries when the weather starts cooperating with my requests.
i did cheat a little bit, though.
i took a shower today and it was extra hot and the way that my shower was built it sits in the sun. so i took my extra hot shower and looked at the sun and the blue sky and i pretended for a minute that i was in southern california.
so, that was nice.
even the pigeons are cold.
except for the baby pigeons, cos as we all know there are no baby pigeons.
there is a pigeon parade today in nyc. mayor mike bloomberg will be walking up 5th avenue with an estimated entourage of 40 million pigeons.
and he will be accompanied by a meta-pigeon (sort of an ur-pigeon).
these ur-pigeons are the size of an oil tanker and they give birth to hundreds of thousands of live adult pigeons at a time. that’s why there are no baby pigeons. these ur-pigeons are the avian equivalent of a queen bee.
you must believe me, for i speak nought but the truth.
did i tell you about the european eels that grow to be 30 miles long and swallow entire towns?
or the fossil at the museum of natural history that just had babies?
