I thought it would be fun, but it sucked hard. I watched the apes for an hour, documenting what they did every minute, and they barely did anything. “Eats, scratches. Scratches. Scratches and eats. And scratches.” I ended up pretty depressed due to the apathy in some of the animals, but I managed to get some neat pictures out of the deal.

I had to water mark all these images manually and I realize it looks pretty damn ghetto, but I run a pretty low-budget operation around here.

Adaptation

This little primate was so cute; it began to sprinkle and it grabbed a blanket for cover.

This little primate was so cute; as soon as it began to sprinkle outside he grabbed a blanket and sat just like that.

The Chase

Two women chasing a peacock. Just sayin’, that’s not something you see every day.

So! I guess ape wins this round of virtual poppycock.

Remember, I’m looking for room 833 in the 800 building. I found the 800 building on the map, and this is what I see when I get there.

building 800

Where the hell was I supposed to go?? I had no idea. Standing there, dumbfounded and reaching for my camera phone, I could only wonder how such a sign could possibly come into existence. Did no one say “hey, Jeff, this sign doesn’t make any damn sense!” during any stage of development? WTF is wrong with these people? This is an institution of higher learning!

I did eventually find my class, with no help from this absurd sign.
