Dutch artist collective Idiots, who work with various taxidermy animals. Taxidermy itself confuses me a bit (esp the kind you find in basements of old men in the US haha). BUT, it appeals to me when done in such a way that it gives new life, as it were, and creates a new context to animals who were also very pretty when they were alive.

Yachts & Magpies
-The magpie now shares something in common with humans, chimps, & dolphins...
-Seagulls once again getting aggressive...
-I hadnt seen this commercial but seeing as Olympic fever has been going around it's very appropriate!
Been a busy week at work and now I'm glad it's over. I plan on relaxing and maybe some dancing as well. Been playing this Yacht track non-stop and I think it's a perfect/fun song to listen to during a summer weekend. They're from Portland, and the song is a little crazy, but indulge me haha. Have a good one!

Back to Reality
Well it's been a couple weeks! I came back from my Costa Rican vacation feeling refreshed after doing among other things
- rafting
- snorkeling
- and (highlight) seeing a giant leatherback turtle lay her eggs on the beach at night under the stars.
