Maybe it’s not the cutest squirrel there is. Maybe there is one with bigger eyes, flufier tail, etc. but this one found its way to our front porch. The going theory is that a stray cat dragged it to our steps as a ritualistic offering to us, “the Gods of the front and back yard, owners of the lawnmower” hominids. The picture was taken about 3 days after we found it and it seems to be (as of this writing) 4-5 weeks old. Just today, we introduced it to pealed nuts bought at the grocery store, though we should be introducing it to the nuts that are available outside where it will hopefully live its life like a normal squirrel.

It seems that when in their baby phase, all animals (as shown expertly in Spore and Viva Piñata) have their “cuteness” ratio as possibly suggested by a baby golden mask (from the golden ratio from phi)… but even more cute is the little details/animations that show us HOW it is they are cute… Panchi tried holding onto a walnut today, roleplaying as if it were older, and i toppled forward because it was to heavy for it… All I know is that this will serve a purpose someday, though i’m not sure what or how I will make that happen or when…

THE MUSEUM and social play…

I’ve never been a very social person when playing games, and although when socializing, going out and about, I’ve come to enjoy moments where i get to be a loner in a crowd… I’ll go to the museum in a group, and quickly find myself separating from the group, off to the exhibit i want to see by myself, ALONE, meeting up with them whenever I like; “playing hide and seek with my mom in the mall when im five” almost giving her a heart attack. Yes, i’m not such the “loner”, OMG look at him and his independence bs… I’ll gather back, meet up again, go do things in a group, but i, like many, like to be untethered…
