WE SAVED A HUMMINGBIRD.
Possibly the most exciting thing to happen in awhile, since the cop incident (we talked about it four times in two hours Cricket, hahaha).
So, after washing both the cat's and dog's water/food bowls, I decided to get the dog some new food.
As I walked in the garage, turned on the light, I noticed this HUGE fucking bug. At first glance I thought it was a huge beetle (all beetles are eatable, btw), then a wasp and THEN I noticed it was a bird with its frightened chirping and all.
The frightened chirping still breaks my heart.
So, I finally calmed my mother, you know, letting her freak for a few minutes how the bird is going to die soon (because they die within an hour in a house, garage -- they die of thirst).
She remembered that they can't see in the dark and are attracted to light. So, we busted out the flashlight, doing some teamwork. I noticed when it was pitch black, the bird would stop and hang on anything he can. We did this three times, finally she caught and, well, you know the rest.
I'm happy I saved a life.
I would have a picture, but I figured I would piss off my frantic mom if I had left, stalled the life-saving process and clicked a really nice frame-shot.
ps - cricket, i would have talked about our day if I had remembered ANY of it.
I remembered we watched a couple of movies, went into town, ate like Alex (WHEN DO I FUCKING STOP) and I went home. Hmmmm.
We made fun of people with the window down....
