I have a clock in my living room
That is just one of the many things that has probably changed since the last time i sat down to write a post. I turned 24 last month, that felt odd. errr, even i mean. I had my yearly performance review at work, that was encouraging, and brought about some much needed evaluation of my focus. It kinda snowed once, and despite this being the warmest winter ever, it is just now starting to get chilly again here in camp hill, pa. I have turned up my heat one notch tonight.
Here is something interesting that mel shared with me. Check out this funky pic of a baby Slender Loris. The bbc had an article about these things, as well as various other ‘edge’ species. that is, endangered species that have no close genetic relatives.
The slender loris (Loris tardigradus), found in southern Sri Lanka, is another to benefit.
The ZSL says the fossil record of the lorids extends back to the Early Miocene (20 million years ago).
Populations of this small primate are declining because of deforestation, and conservationists plan to restore its habitat and establish corridors between fragmented areas of forest.
Well, I have a few things to wrap up before i head to bed. That is my other new thing, kinda going with the refocusing thing i mentioned earlier. I am resolved to be a responsible adult this year, and part of that involves no super late nights. and since i have to travel to the PA Department of Environmental Protection tomorrow, (earlyish, 7 am), getting to bed before midnight is a priority.

“slender loris,” what a cutie!
… but really, dave; in bed before midnight? i’m still working on that one. commitments where i have to leave my apartment by 7.30 AM definitely help.
happy new year =)

I know! The whole going to bed ‘early’ is a struggle for me, as it is very un-DAH. There have been several times where i pushed the 1 am limit, but generally i have been successful. I guess when you set your mind to it, anything is possible!
