We went to the zoo yesterday in Grant Park. When one of the gorillas bent over to take a peek and cupped his hand beneath his but, me and Carter decided we'd seen enough of the gorilla exhibit. I really didn't need to hear the rest of the crowd go "Ewwwww!"

Something tells me Carter would have loved it. Kids are crazy for gross stuff.

Speaking of waste matter, what is everyone doing to conserve water this week? Are you using the "if it's pee let it be" method? Showering together? What?

I've given up showering completely and just dip myself in pachouli. Of course the only place I am now welcome is the Little Five Points drum circle.

That's above and beyond GD. May I get you a towelette?

i like the new banner.

'tis pwnage to the maximum.

Hooray tandem showering! Although I find that wastes water as often as saving it.

Home Depot has these valves that you can put between the pipe and the showerhead, so that with the push of a slider-button you can cut off the water flow (to your low-flow spray nozzle, of course) while you lather up, scrub your hair, etc. It makes takin' Navy showers easier b/c when you re-start the water it's the same temperature as when you left off, rather than hunting for just the right warm again.
