ad-lib story telling by a tiny little french girl

Man, I needed something to warm my cold, dead heart today, and this little French girl came to the rescue. Or maybe it was a lion with a helmet and sword with his hippopotamus sidekick who is allergic to magic. I don’t know, but my heart has been warmed. Watch this.

Once upon a time… from […]

rocky the orangutan goes on a hollywood audition

My good friend Kevin has confirmed this is EXACTLY what it’s like. Rocky the Orangutan and Kevin have almost the exact same life.

I LOVE when he puts his pants back on.

cambute means “conch”

My friends Misty and Allen just got this adorable little boxer-mix puppy yesterday. He is mostly boxer and 100% cute. He’s only about a month old I think. They named him Cambute which is Spanish for Conch. I am in love with him and am currently plotting ways to kill my friends and take their […]

new and improved monkeys

I had another amazing trip into Hacienda Baru and found myself again surrounded by capuchin monkeys. This time I set the ISO up, the metering to spot, and removed the 1.4x magnifier. The results are much better, though I still need some practice. Below is my favorite, and I have added the rest to the […]

Discovery Channel: I Love the World

This could well be the best ad for a TV channel ever made. Discovery Channel sings how much it loves the world. So good.

I’m feeling kind of the same way about the world right now. Having a great friggin time. Finally went diving for the first real time and I am hooked already - and […]

a bunch of new picts from Costa Rica

The last few weeks have been more hectic than usual. By “more hectic” I suppose I just mean, “I had some stuff to do, which is a hell of a lot more than nothing to do.” Both my sisters visited from NY. After a horrific ordeal trying to get out of San Jose (lost in […]

minor update

Hey everyone. It’s been a little busy around here so I haven’t had too much internet cafe time. Oh how I miss wifi at home.
A lot has happened since last we left off. Today was the end of my first week of near full-time Spanish studies at Adventure Education Center in Dominical. 9am - 1:30pm […]

dragon vs. jesus lizard

The armadillo girdled lizard [Cordylus cataphractus] of South Africa looks like it’s straight out of Dungeons & Dragons. I would not be surprised if it breathes fire. This is now my favorite lizard, fire or no fire, even more favorite than that one lizard that runs across the top of water.

On second thought, the Jesus […]

fuck planet earth

BBC’s Planet Earth documentary is a stunning achievement in nature videography. It’s a shame the audio track was changed for the final version. Have a look at some of the unedited footage.

So fucking funny.

dramatic lemur

I don’t know what this lemur is looking at, but it could be the original Dramatic Chipmunk video or maybe even 2girls1cup. I don’t know, but it is funny as hell. Enjoy.

shoplifting seagull

I was a little unsure whether or not I was going to post this. I think it’s great but I’m not sure if it is for everyone. Originally this video came in my email as a giant animated GIF with no sound. This YouTube version is considerably better. Basically it’s great news footage of a […]
