Bird in Love???

My first video upload to blogspot ever. I hope this works...

I was working (I think) yesterday afternoon yesterday when I kept hearing light knocking on my window. I thought it was rain but when I looked outside, it looked like the rain had stopped and I couldn't figure out what was making the noise. That is, until I looked down. This silly bird just kept poking at the window... Not just once, but several times. He would fly away, come back, and repeat.

Buuuuurds

I have a problem. I can't stop staring out the window. It's spring, and there are so many birds out there. I'm pretty sure some of them are still young. I witnessed at least two birds (or the same bird twice) slam into my window today. Each time I let out a little yelp and get sad. My friends and co-workers seem to think this is funny. They seem to think that the birds are unharmed. I've been traumatized ever since I saw a bird fly into the glass door to our building, break its neck and die last year. I was only about 10 feet away approaching the same door... Here are some examples of the types of birds that I get to see almost every day.



One on the bottom left is a squirrel. I enjoyed watching the poor thing struggling to get to the berries. The branch was a little too small for it.

I thought about putting a bird feeder out there but then I think that would be the end of me. I would get fired. I would get NO work done.

Anyway, aren't they pretty???

PS - Thanks to all my friends who donated money on my site (last blog post)! If you haven't, there's still time. :) Think about it. World without boobs would suck!

Random, random, random, random, random...

I don't really have anything significant to post. Which I guess I never really do. But here are some pretty random things... I just want my 400th page visit. Thanks to my 2-3 faithful readers!

Still hooked on craigslist missed connection. NYC ones are funnier than Ann Arbor ones.

Spring brought lots of juvenile birds. Every day, I hear a light thump on my window. Yup, those young ones keep flying into my office window. Fortunately, they just fly in from a tree that's about 3 feet from the window so they don't sustain any injuries. That I can see anyway...

As I sit here and write this, our sys admins are hard at work installing lots of new stuff on my laptop! It will not come complete with Windows Vista, MS Office 2007, and Adobe CS3. Fabulous. This is exciting. I can't wait until I go back to 1680 x 1050 screen. This 1280 x 768 stuff is killing me. I am so spoiled.

And ZOMG, I'm pretty sure Mario Party 8 for my Wii is waiting for me at home!!!

I injured myself watching TV 2 nights ago. Who does that? I was curled up on my futon and when I got up, somehow my knee hit the wooden frame and left a sizable bruise. I rock.

I started "working out" recently (in quotes because I don't do enough to call it that yet...) and I feel fatter. Why? It's not like I'm eating more... Sucks being old.
