Return Of The Bunny Suicides

The weeks seem to fly by these days and the summer seems to have gone by in a blink of an eye. I guess that's what weekly presentations, tests and labs do to you. This week’s presentation was on opium and metabolic engineering of poppies to accumulate the good stuff at the cost of the bad. So if you want to know how to turn morphine into heroine in one easy step I’m your man. Who says you don’t learn anything useful in school these days? The task over the next few weeks is to come up with a design for a Smog filter either using enzymes of normal filter materials. On the off chance that any of my vast readership (That means all four of you!) knows anything about filters or materials or even enzymes that take care of sulphur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, or ozone drop me a note.

Although my summer has passed by I’ve had a great weekend. The wonderful Nikki came to visit me and she came bearing gifts! From out of her tickle trunk (or more accurately a stylish laptop tote), she brought out what has to be the greatest book of all time. Yes, you’ve guessed it, 'The Return of the Bunny Suicides'. Each page is filled with ingenious ways with which our furred friends come up with ways to put an end to their pellet filled existence. Expect the next few entries to have pictures from the book.

I also made it out to the zoo with Nikki, Steve, Konrad and his gal pal Stefani which was entertaining. We discovered that our tiger friend who we had seen rockin and rolling 103 days before (wow how’d you guys know that was tiger gestation time) had given birth to cute kitties. It’s amazing how much like us they are. For example the Tiger dad was passed out in the den while the mom was off in another room taking care of the babies.

For instance while checking out the new mother orang-utan and her baby Nikki commented on how cute the baby was. My comment was “Check that out the mom keeps shoving her finger up her bum look how far that is!” I also got to check out some quality B movie material this weekend in the war of the gargantuas. Highly suggest it if you’re into bad voice overs, scared asian people, painted backgrounds, and Tonka trucks masquerading as real vehicles.

I’ve also started to plan my camping trip to Killarney and just now have come to the realization that I’m seriously lacking in reading material for the trip. It would be great if you let me know of any great books that I should pick up along the way. I’m a big fan of Thompson, Vonnegut, Adams, Stevenson and Goodkind (hangs head in shame) to give you some idea of my tastes. Keep in mind though that I’m by no means set in my ways so feel free to suggest anything that’s you think is good.
