What I did on my summer holidays

Or rather what I did this week, aside from watching videos and spending four solid hours playing Eternal Darkness on the Gamecube. Although one of the videos we watched was The Happiness of the Katakuris, which is a bizarre, wonderful Japanese comedy musical. With zombies. Everybody should see it.

So what else I do... we went to the zoo. I turn into a big child at the zoo, so we had to spend some time with the donkeys in the petting zoo bit. Because... donkeys. We sort of wandered off the path and into this part that was eerily like Jurassic Park. I kept a stealthy eye on the bushes for those little spitting dinosaurs. Didn't see any (maybe they're nocturnal) but we did find lemurs. They must have broken out of their enclosure and started breeding in the woods, because there were loads of them. They're completely unafraid of humans, so if you stand still for a bit they amble over to see if you have anything to eat. They were adorable, and if I wasn't intent on being a meerkat I'd want to be a lemur in my next life. (A meerkat or lemur in a zoo, obviously. In the wild there are predators and the having to catch your own food, and I'm not very fast.)

I think that was mostly my week. Zombies and lemurs. And a barbecue which nobody got poisoned at, thanks to

thecount_ha's mad grilling skills. And now I have a Faith fic to finish. After I get dressed.

Oh man, I love Eternal Darkness. That is definitely one of the best games ever. I love the set-up they have... and you got to love the things that happen when you start to go insane.

Ok, definitely have to play that game today.

I love the insanity. Kevin (who lent me the game) warned me about the body in the bathtub, but it still scared the crap out of me.

Not dressed at 2.30? LOL.

The Happiness of the Katakuris is a brilliant film, every time I thought it couldn't possibly get any weirder, or the comedy get any darker, it did. Actually, it made me want to go to Japan...then seriously question my sanity for having that as a reason for wanting to go to Japan. Hmm.

your week sounds heavenly! and i do so adore lemurs. were they the ring-tailed sort? plus, gotta see me some singing japanese zombies!

Yep, they were ringtailed. There was a little baby one too. Teh cute!

baby lemurs rock my fro. taking our bambina to the zoo next week!

That picture's adorable.

I'm sure your kid will love the zoo. Especially if they have giraffes. I'm 21 and I got an incredibly childish kick out of seeing the giraffes. They're so tall. *g*

well, i'm 32 and the zoo still makes me giggle :) the hubby and i always go every year for our wedding anniversary. except this year, we'll be able to take the baby, too!

I am the tamer of fire, griller of meat and seducer of lemurs.
