i just had my hair cut at the beauty school. they cut it with a razor. i like it. it cost about 3gbp. the end. :)

did i tell you i went to the zoo? i did. my ma and i did, anyway. and we saw lemurs (ring-tailed and rred-ruffed) being bouncy, and elephants being tired, and a gorilla flung dirt at us. and i bought a little deck of cards with exotic animal pictures because i am easily pleased. we actually saw just about everything in the zoo in the three hours we were there. we saw an anaconda and by gum it was hefty. and i saw a tapir with a *fabulous* nose. and i saw a cassowary! that excited me. i love cassowaries. and i saw an ostrich and an emu, so that makes three birds in the same group as kiwis - the ratites, named after the Latin Ratis meaning raft (boat without a keel), referring to their virtually keel-less sternums. kakapo also have virtually keel-less sternums. so we're all winners.

and we went to the Castro district in San Francisco, and there was a cinema playing the Errol Flynn Robin Hood movie. :)

you'll have to excuse my links, i got a little carried away.

i just applied for the clearing vacancy for BSc Biological Sciences at Edinburgh University, and it was much easier than the application for the summer course at Santa Cruz. it'll be interesting to see what happens, anyway.
