gorilla in the grass
I'm in a rut here. More pictures from the NC Zoo, I'm afraid. Here's two pictures of a gorilla. There were 4 gorillas, I think, in the enclosure but this is the biggest one.
Here's a shot from a distance so you can get a feel for what the place looked like. It was pretty big--big enough that I couldn't be sure if I had seen all the gorillas in there--and looked well designed. Not that I wanted to move in there or anything, but they did have a "jungle gym" thingy that looked like a lot of fun.
This picture is a little closer in and you can get a grasp that this fellow could tear one of us apart, limb by limb. That is one sturdy fellow.
I watched a few more new shows tonight after doing some mowing. I liked Studio 60 quite a bit and think it has a lot of potential to continue a high quality level across the entire season. Smith was pretty good but the characters weren't very cuddly and lovable--to say the least--so I'm more likely to drop that one if I don't have time. I watched Kidnapped and Jericho also but have already dropped Kidnapped from my programming--it was good but I suspect it'd be tedious across the arc of the entire season--and Jericho I'll probably drop also. The first show was good but you could already see that this is going to be one frickin' depressing show.The debut episode was mostly uplifting "we're all in this together" stuff but the handwriting is on the wall: the rest of the season is going to be the horrors of post-apocalyptic Kansas. No thanks!

I hoping there will be mutants involved at some point.
Maybe flesh-eating mutants! With wings and scabby skin! Yeah!
For instance, I love being able to go see giraffes (dood, have you ever seen how long their tongues are???)
But I hate seeing the big cats all caged up in small areas... they should at least furnish them with a human-sized ball of string or something.
Good morning Utenzi, Michele sent me :)
I too enjoyed Studio 60, although if Amanda Peet left the show, I'd be much happier. What is she always grinning about?!
Michele sent me here today. Hope you're having a great day!
we just watched studio 60 last night - i enjoyed it. and jericho is just not one i really want to try.
dh has set tivo for kidnapped. i'm sort of less than interested in it, but whatever. i'll give it a try.
oh - almost forgot, michele sent me
Just beautiful.
Of all the new stuff this year, I'm really only into Studio 60.
Great picturs of your really handsome friend. Can I have more please..:)
Hope all is well!
Love these Gorilla pictures...They are such imposing creatures....And I know exactly what you mean about the potential of being torn limb from limb...
Many years ago...maybe 24 or 25...I went to the San Diegi Zoo and took pictures af a lot of the animals...there was one picture of a Gorilla...he was looking right at me..So it seemed to my camera...and there is a sadness in that face that has haunted me, ever since. (I must find those pictures---they were slides...I would love to be able to post that one picture.
I LOVED "Studio 60" Such a fabulously well written and acted show....Classy as hell...And so way and above a few of the other NEW shows I've seen...I am anxious to see "Brothers & Sisters" because my dear old friend Ron Rifkin is in it...I hope it is a successful show cause the Writer/Producer/Creator is a brilliantly talented young man...He wrote a play for Ron which was very very successful...I've got my fingers crossed for that one.
And yes, Studio 60 was good TV about bad TV- looking forward to the next episode.
I really enjoyed Studeo60...good writing, high quality tv..I look forward to more.
Here via Michele's today.
Now, about this baseball avoidance - what's up with that. I'm quite happy with the game at the moment...but perhaps I ought not say why. ;) (Hint: I live in Jersey and my favorite baseball related numbers are: 2, 3, 7, 21)
Michele sent me over tonight. Always glad when she does. I ought to just go on and get around to updating my blogroll already so she doesn't need to remind me to head over.
