Every year, in Bonner Springs, KS is the Kansas City Renaissance Festival. I haven't been in 10 years (wow, i just counted that up, i feel old), so some friends from Maryville and I decided to go.

Jess & me, photography lovers.

A few weeks ago, a friend & I drove to Springfield, MO to see another pair of friends. Outside of springfield is a place called animal paradise. It's $15 per person, and more than worth it. You drive through, with animal food, and the animals come right up to you! They'd even try to join us in our car...
A camel & Us


My all time favorite animal: A Zebra!!! and her adorable offspring.



A mix of a zebra & a donkey (called a zedonk)




Easily the meanest animal there, it even bit me!





Love it.




And of course, what's a trip to springfield without a visit to Lamberts, home of the throwed rolls!

My entertainment as of late: Bloody Marys and True Blood/Dexter.

Thanks to my new-found ability to hook my computer(s) up to my tv. With a Mac and an old tv, its a lot harder than it sounds. i had to buy 3 separate cords, and that didnt even include the audio portion.

i'm still in the not-so-desirable state of missouri. I'm trying to get on clinical studies to make some dough and hopefully travel east.
i'm extremely happy i have my books to help me escape the monotony life of suburbia i've found myself in. yesterday i finished one of the best books i've ever read, and i thought i'd put a quote from it on here...
"If, before every action, we were to begin by weighing up the consequences, thinking about them in earnest, first the immediate consequences, then the probable, then the possible, then the imaginable ones, we should never move beyond the point where our first thoughts brought us to a halt."
Jose Saramago, from Blindness
