Sunny Sunday

The sun was visible today! Good God, a miracle! I went for a lovely run through the arb. Mmmm lovely. And then I ate my favorite kind of soup for lunch, and then I almost beat Chris at chess! (which has never happened). Muah hah hah. We were down to a king a piece and my one horsie, and it was just going to take forever and possibly never end, so we truced. Further good news - I just finished Be the Pack Leader while brooping (book + poop) yesterday. And yes, it should be titled Leader of the Pack, Vroom Vroom. Bad writing, not enough pictures, and (for the most part) the same information as his first book, but I have bottomless forgiveness for sexy Cesar, so Hurray. It did have some nice diagrams.

Cesar's finest moment: "The most empowering thing you can do in your life is to fulfill another living being's needs." Hear hear.
Cesar's lowest moment: "Don't worry, this isn't an environmental book." Why on earth not, you crazed noodle-brain? Sigh.

Sort of on that line of thought, Alissandra once painted a gorgeous Alaskan landscape and then put a big, ugly oil rig in the middle of the wildflowers. The woman who bought it was a supporter of drilling in ANWR and loved how the painting glorified human progress. Whoops. Missed the point there.
