That's what it's all about.
I've been slacking on the bird pictures lately, for several reasons. 1. Firefly still believes the New Camera might eat him, so photos of His Conureness tend to be Very Pointy. And 2. everyone else is currently explodamolting and looks as though they're suffering from either an acute parrot moth infestation, or possibly the plague.

A bath sequence is okay, though. Bathing parrots always look like they're delighted to be coming down with leprosy, so explodamolt won't matter. (Sorry, bloolark.)

"So in the future, there is absolutely no shame?"


Oh, no! Gravity just reversed! EVERYONE HANG ON TO SOMETHING!


ROFL. Just kidding!


NOW GRAVITY HAS INCREASED TENFOLD AND IS CRUSHING ME TO THE GROUND.


...crushing... you guys, seriously... I mean it... aaaack...


Tell... your wife... I love her...


JUST KIDDING AGAIN!


Pfft, whatev. You totally fell for my cunning ploy.


Oh, and for the next time someone takes it into their head to search my public photos for Incriminating Evidence:
SPO! SPO! SPO!


This is pretty normal, actually. Luck is only making that "omg wtf!" face because I got up and then knelt down to take a picture, which is Not Normal. He likes the den-like space between the play cage and the computer desk chair, so his usual expression is this one, and his usual (and current) pose is Collie Lump. If Ninja (or Kalu!) gets bored and starts pelting the dog with food or foot toys, he might get up and move. But probably not. (The coat of a collie is naturally pellet-resistant.)

As a general rule, kids: don't try this at home. I have judged the (infinitesimal) possibility of Luck's prey drive kicking in generally not worth the effort of evicting him from his current favorite spot, but I do have to watch Kalu to make sure she doesn't take it into her pretty berserker head to climb down and eat him. However, that's why, with a bird and a dog in this position, I'm never more than eighteen inches away. If I need to get up, even if it's only for a second, I take one of them with me.

Additionally, if you missed this the first time it cycled through Livejournal, here's Take On Me: The Literal Music Video Version, which just never stops being funny, even if you watch it three or four times in a row. AND THERE'S A BUNCH MORE NOW! White Wedding: The Literal Music Video Version. 'Scuse me whilst I LOL across the universe.

There's also a Literal Music Video Version of "The Boy In The Bubble" by Paul Simon that makes me laugh whenever I see it, but it's, uh, the actual music video. LASERS. ELEPHANTS WITH LASERS YOU GUYS. (Confession time: I love that song. But... elephants with lasers!)
