Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Okay, I am watching the weirdest R. Kelly video on TV right now. he is singing some lame story and acting out every part. This isn't serious, IS IT???!??

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

HA! I swear to god, since I think all the bosses are out at work tomorrow, that will be my mode of communication for the day. Singing. "Now I'm getting some water! And I'm pouring the water!"

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

We should all do that. And then film and show it at some major holiday.

"Then Brenda said we should film it, so we filmed it!"

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Nothing about R Kelly surprises me anymore, now that I've had to deal with his lack of prosecution.

I went shopping today, and showed up just after they closed. How IRRITATING. Especially since I can't get back until next weekend.

Is it about Jesus saving him? Or the girls who like semen?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

their survival instincts are not all that good. Attempted chicknapping by another female penguin? Noooooooo!!! Scary predator bird attacking the chicks? Eh, whatever. But then, I knew that from Winged Migration.)

I had the same reaction, Jess, and now I am wondering about something. Maybe Billytea or someone else can answer it. I can't believe I am going to whitefont it, but it is a spoiler under our policy. According to Morgan, the seal killed both the female penguin it caught, and the femaie penguin's chick, who wouldn't get fed. I always thought penguins would look after orphaned penguins. Am I wrong?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

My impression was that the females can only store enough food for their own chick. But I could be wrong.

Sorry, I wasn't clear. A lot of the eggs didn't hatch, and a lot of other chicks died, so there must be some adult females that came back to no baby. There were also, presumably, chicks whose mothers died. I thought these got "paired" up. I could be wrong though.

I need to go watch Winged Migration, or see if I can buy the Life of birds on Ebay, I think.

Oh, right, I didn't think of that.

Probably just melodramatic voiceover, then.

Life in the Freezer has more penguins than Life of Birds, as far as 10-part BBC-produced Attenborough-narrated nature programs go, but I'm not sure Freezer was ever released for region 1.
