phinnia: smiling dolphin face (compass)
planet earth box set. <3

notes:

- i wonder how they managed to get antarctic winter shots? that's not easy at all.
- OMGPENGUINS!
- OMFG POLAR BEAR MOTHER SLIDING DOWN THE SLOPE
- OMFG CUBS!
- neko's favorite: amur leopards (he watched this part VERY CAREFULLY.)
- the terns flying south - entirely black sky. just incredible; and the warming taiga
- birds of paradise - COURTING FAIL
- OMG waves - and whales - and the slowed-down shark strike
- eye of the hurricane was possibly the best shot of the whole
- swimming elephants!! and the baboons look so much like children going into the lake. seaners did that same splash-waddle thing the last time he went to the wading pool
- omg dog hunt on the okavango delta (bbc dvds from amazon have 10 minute 'making of' video on each ep: this one focused on the filming of the dog hunt)

continued tomorrow!!

i wish my dad was still alive. he would have been blown away by this series. we used to watch nature documentaries together. *sigh* *misses*

I have heard from the wheelchair delivery man. His name is Tennessee; I believe that (or a nearby state) is where he is from. He has the thickest southern accent I have ever heard in Seattle.

He says he will be delivering the wheelchair between 1 and 3 PM today.

I'm hoping.




Today would have been my father's 82nd birthday. I miss him every day. I have some of his things.

Notable:
his walking stick, which he acquired during his bachelor years after spraining his ankle doing something that I have no doubt he shouldn't have been doing
two of his hats (he always wore a hat)
an exceedingly large hammer which I love and which has spoiled me for all lighter hammers
a #2 robertson screwdriver (square tip: not found in the US for some odd reason)
a key rack which he made at work
two earring holders made out of aircraft grade aluminum

Here's to dad. I'm not sure he ever really understood me, but he loved me a lot regardless.




No clickies so far today. Sorry about that. I'm stuck somewhere between cautiously optimistic, nostalgic and vaguely sad.
