Bat Watch 2005: Australia
As some of you may remember, we had a bit of what I like to call a "small bat issue" at my parents' house this summer. A small issue that may have very well traumatized me for life, you understand. I like to say that my refusal to see Batman Begins is out of protest due to the whole Tom-and-Katie parade when it came out, but the truth is that I know about THE TWO SCENES. (And I'll leave it at that for those who haven't seen it.) I'm just not too keen on bats anymore.
And then I came here. The land of the GIANT BATS OF GIGANTICNESS! I am so not even kidding. They're called "fruit bats", so they sound all nice and harmless and vegetarian... but I know the truth. They are blood sucking bat vampires.
This site has some of the best pictures of them. And yes, I have seen them hanging from the trees like that, and yes, they really are that big.
Okay, I admit it. I am secretly fascinated by them when I see them flying at dusk. But so help me, if one gets anywhere near me, I will flail like I've never flailed before, and I have flailed with the best of them.
Movie Night
Last night we watched Be Cool. Vince Vaughn made me laugh lots.
Boring day.
