things started and learned
1. I learned that the giraffe has a heart that can weigh up to 10kgs
2. writing a lecture is difficult because I don't kwow what it looks like on the page
3. and once on the page, I don't know what it sounds like. I need to practice.
4. The ukulele is actually hard
5. but it helps to say it like "oo-koo-le-le" in a mashed up accent
6. Even though I don't really love birds, like others do, it's pretty amazing that they are able to run, fly AND swim, and it must feel pretty special to be flying and then at another instant, be swimming.
7. I started reading The Cloudspotter's guide by Gavin Pretor-Pinney
8. I also started to read The Unnatural History of the Sea by Calum Roberts
9. I stopped reading only because it's the beginning of semester and there is way too much shit to do.
10. Beer helps
11. So does fishing
12. Porridge with shaved coconut, prunes, figs, dried apple, cinnamon, nutmeg and chopped almonds.
13. I know what my PhD thesis will be about. finally! and finally excited, so much that I am bursting.
but..
14. I want my dreams to be like this (below) instead of smoldering dead children hanging in a bus, while other children run up and see, before I can protect their eyes.
