Taxidermy has very much stolen my attention tonight, it's amazing how life like some of the animals can be made to look even after they have died, however most have a few flaws. I'm not too sure if I agree with it or not, but it most definitely interests me. Some can hold so much elegance, and it would be pretty cool to be able to say you have a pet 'whatever', and even better, it wouldn't die as such. I am not okay with animal rugs, mounted heads and when the stuffed animals have been added to, such as giving them wings or adding different animal's body parts to them to create a new animal. Then I feel completely different to some stuffed animals, skeletons and those which have been reserved in a jar [filled with liquid]. HERE is the page where I have been mainly looking at it. I don't particularly agree with this stuffed dog with wings, however this flamingo skeleton really captures my eye. I find it a little endearing if someone wanted to stuff their animal after it had died, rather than weird. Feel like I may be laying in bed thinking about this for quite a while tonight!
I have been off college today, however it hasn't been a productive day at all and there's nothing really too much to tell. I woke up at 12, from Jasper pushing her head into mine to get my attention and using me as an object to stroke her face. I attempted to move and stop her from doing it, but she continued and I assumed she just wanted letting out, I opened the door for her, got back into bed and fell asleep, I have no idea whatsoever how long I was asleep for, but she came back and did it again. She was later sick in mainly in my bedroom and a little on the upstairs 'corridor', which I then had to clean up and was gagging over. I also found my pregnant guppy fish, which was meant to give birth last night, dead as she probably got too stressed out. It really was not a good start for me, but things got better with Krispy Kreme doughnuts, loving from my animals, and talking to two lovely people called Alex and Seb. I've had an alright day really, just lazing about is never that bad :)
