veni, vidi, vici

[for you uncultured or uneducated folks, that's Latin for "i came, i saw, i conquered"]

but in my case it should be more like: i went, i saw, i wasted lots of money on overpriced junk food. what did i do exactly? ...i went to the zoo!

so here it is, by popular demand: WHAT I DID YESTERDAY! yaaay!!

i'll start by saying that my favorite part of the zoo would have to be the pandas... i love pandas. if i were an animal i think it would be a panda... apart from being endangered, they have it pretty good: eat, sleep, and play all day! =3 sounds good to me! red pandas are also awesome... i want one as a pet ^__^

as for the other animals, i saw so many i can't even remember them all. we looked at everything but the elephants and rhinos...mainly because we couldn't find them ^^; heh, not that i cared to see them much anyway... you've seen one you've seen em all... and they smell bad besides! so no loss there.

annnd well... i must say, while the fact that nearly every other time we walked past an animal it pooped was kinda gross, what disgusted me the most was the people's reaction to *ahem* the reproductive nature of certain animals... yes, i know they're doing it right out there in the open (they don't give em much room in those little exhibits anyway) but i mean JEEZ PEOPLE!! do you have to hoot and yell and cheer them on? there are small children around you know! and funny how the little mexican school kids get all excited over stuff like the hippo pooping underwater... "mira mira! *lots of undistinguishable gibberish* jajajajajajaja!" i dunno... kinda wish i understood more spanish...but then, in this case, maybe not? lol

conclusion: out of all the animals i saw, humans are among the strangest of them all... very strange indeed. i want to be a panda.

downsides for the day:
* i was deprived of the samurai sam's teriyaki bowl that i have been craving all week -- not once, but TWICE! twice i could have gotten it! first time i couldn't because we were pressed for time (had to go through the taco bell drive thru RIGHT NEXT to samurai sam's). second time was because it was closed when we got there... of all the rotten luck.
* and we didn't ride the bus thingie around the zoo, so my feet were hurting... but i'm okay. i just need new shoes... or a new body.

upsides:
* i got to see lots of cute animals
* i got exercise walking around the zoo!
* i bought a bracelet to support panda conservation XD

annnd i guess that's all there is to tell...

thanks for reading!
until next time~
