girlofpreyThey have HYENA BABIES at Yorkshire Wildlife Park! I didn't even know they had hyenas. Colchester Zoo made a big deal about how they were the only zoo in England with spotted hyenas, but maybe they are new additions? Anyway. IT'S SO CLOSE TO ME. And extremely rare to have hyenas breeding in European zoos apparently, but here we are. I'm not really looking to go there anytime soon, but maybe next year when things are maybe a bit safer, and it's my birthday, and the babies are cute pre-adolescents.
I don't really want to go cleaning mold off my books, but it's largely the only job left to me in my bedroom. And I do want to rearrange the books up there. I also, while going through the drawers under my bed, found a huge amount of old notebooks and journals, and I'm not really sure what to do with them either. Some I'm definitely keeping, like my leaver's book from college, but with the others, I feel bad throwing them away when they're part of my history. But also I never look at them, don't have a huge amount of reason to check back on things I was doing and feeling 7 years ago, and also a lot of them have lists of slash pairings, fic ideas and kink lists - because that has been a huge part of my life for so long. And while I'm not ashamed of that and think it has value, it's not like I'll be looking to pass these notebooks onto my descendants, or wanting my parents to read them if something should happen to me. So they're just sitting in a drawer under my bed, taking up space. While I decide if I want to do anything with them at all. Really they should go in the loft I guess, but I'm not very good at the loft, and don't feel like giving my dad an extra job. So under the bed they'll stay, for now.
I've also been going through some CDs, hoping to get rid of some and make some room. It's annoying when you find one song on a CD that you really like, but not enough to really keep the whole CD, or be excited to put the whole album on for ever. But you still want to keep hold of the song. I'm relying on Youtube to keep me in touch with that music now. But also I've discovered some new songs I really love. Here is a selection of songs I've found groovy recently:
Obstacle 1 - Interpol
Don't Go Back to Dalston - Razorlight
Pet Semetary - The Ramones
Cish Cash - Basement Jaxx feat. Siouxie Sioux
I need more Basement Jaxx in my life. They're probably one of my favourite bands, but I never think about them that way.
