You are funny! I like your blog. Every month is daily blog posting month for me, so I have no sympathy. Of course I don't care if my posts are deathly dull either. Actually I've noticed that all the blog posting hours I've logged seem to be making the dissertation writing go more smoothly...now that I'm finally back to it after two+ months of relocation productivity upset.
I like how you say maths instead of math. I suppose you say zed instead of zee too, or is that just a British thing? I should be posting. Or translating. Or something, but instead I've been scattering comments around on people's blogs.
I've always been kind of fascinated by parrots and other such clever and potentially talking birds. But they seem troublesomely loud, not to mention expensive and long-lived, so I've never had one for a pet. They sure are lovely though.
Thanks, Zapaper! I post daily every month too, but I am trying to post a picture of a parrot every day during November. There's only so many ways you can make that interesting, though!
Most Australians and NZers say zed instead of zee.
I'd feel bad keeping a parrot as a pet after seeing them living in the wild. I'm sure they can be happy in captivity too, but it must take a lot of effort from the owner to make up for the huge flocks they seem to prefer and the large distances they like to roam.
(Huzzah for zed!)
I am particularly fond of your King Kockatoo poster.
Talk to me! (You know you want to!)
