Baby Tapir

San Diego Zoo Dec 2005 065

This is a baby tapir. Kind of a cross between a horse and a rhinoceros.

Had a great dinner tonight with Kiera, Lee, and Sapna. Good food, good drink, fun times playing with cats (not boring cats that ignore you but fun cats that chase things...btw I never had heard of it before but cats evidently love to chase laser pointer beams).

We had a long discussion about tapirs, which I had though was spelled "taper". I think they would be a pretty good pet but they get rather large, and evidently have an affinity for mischief.

Sunday Fun...

At work again on a Sunday...working on some remaining issues from last week. Found a live Ani D album on Rhapsody so chilling to that a little bit.

Yesterday was filled with strategy and conquest. I spent a few solid hours defining my goals and strategy for Civ IV. I got a little tired of getting my ass kicked by the Barbarians each time I started going on my nice civilization. What pissed me off the most was that I'd be racing to research things and then all of a sudden these Barbarians would show up with more advanced weapons than I had! Grr... so after a lot of research and strategizing I stumbled across a few posts that indicated the level I was playing on (Marathon) was buggy and the Barbarians are just way too hard. So that solves that. In any case, I have some really good strategy now and will kick some serious ass later today hopefully.
