Koala Envy

Had a fairly mundane weekend after a fairly mundane week.  Only excitement was a fiasco with the carbon monoxide alarm at 4 am Saturday morning, when I was home alone.  Scary as anything when it was happening, and awkward to have the firemen, complete with firetruck, come in the middle of the night when you're in your pajamas, but looking back the whole ordeal is mildly entertaining, actually.  

Other than that, the high point was getting about a third of the Harbinger layout done.  It looks pretty awesome, if I do say so myself, and I can't wait to see the magazine published.

Mostly I've been living vicariously through a friend who is lucky enough to be in California at the moment.  I may have gotten to see our favorite history teacher dance the electric slide in water flippers before getting soaked by a water balloon at the pep rally, but he got to see a KOALA.  Jealousy ensues. 

So here's a drawing of said koala, shamelessly copied from one of his photos.

I have a life goal to go to Australia and hug a koala.  That's been a life goal of mine since first grade, when I first fell in love with a koala picture book.

Oh, koala.  Until then I shall have to admire you from afar.
