That 'coon 's good eatin'

While walking with my mom to her office at night, I noticed something scamper up a tree. My first thought was that it was a grossly fat squirrel, but that turned out to be wrong, because it was just a regular sized raccoon. Raccoons are sort of like squirrels, except that they can cause more trouble, since they're larger. Also, raccoons are evil. You could never imagine someone saying "Awww, look at that cute little raccoon." There's simply no such concept when it comes to them.

Yesterday, Chris and I visited the Asian Art Museum. Unlike the nice movie attendant who let me see Pride and Prejudice for the student rate without my student ID, the anal museum lady refused to give me a student ticket because I didn’t have my student ID with me. I don’t carry around my student ID when I’m on break because it’s attached to my Chicago keys, and I don’t need my Chicago keys when I’m not in Chicago. Still, the Asian Art Museum was really fantastic. It was a pity that we got there so late; we only got to spent one and a half hours admiring Asian art before the museum closed. I found two pieces very amusing. The first was supposedly painted at a party while the artist was drunk; the Buddhist monk is shown with a very mischievous facial expression. The second was a helmet with an indentation for the topknot that some Persian warriors wore. Crazy Persians.
