No sleep 'til

[cyrano]

I was talking with Rachel, who I'm glad is awake for some of this, and I said something vaguely clever. There's this animal planet show, and it's your standard over-anthropomorphized poorly written 'how can we make watching a bunch of animals go Zing?' sort of script, but it's based on a bunch of scientists doing research so the underneath is pretty solid. Anyway. One of the meercats in this meercat troupe they're studying got the boot but she doesn't particularly want to roam the veldt on her own because it sucks. And I noted that travelling on your own is like being an exiled meercat because there's nobody to watch your shit if you want to get a drink or take a nap, and there's nobody to wake you up or keep an eye on you. So you spend the entire time perched on your haunches and sitting as tall as you can, in that cute meercat pose, until you get where you're going and can stop travelling.

Yes but Tosca was very naughty and therefore Flower had to kick her out of the family. And then she went and tried to stage a rebellion so methinks Flower is going to rip her throat out the next time she gets too close. Is it wrong that I really admire Flower...I have a thing for matriarchs I guess.

Okay, I only saw the one episode so tell me if I'm wrong about the writing.

Oh no you're quite right about the writing, and Sean Astin nattering on constantly and turning it into The Real World: Kalahari, is pretty freakin' stupid.
