Male, looks healthy. I’m still trying to decide whether or not the Animal Adventure Park simply got wrong how long the pregnancy was likely to go, or whether this was all a subtle plot to get some publicity. If it was the latter… well, it worked, didn’t it? Hard to argue with success, you know.

Tweet of the Day, God Help Me: I’m Putting Up A TMZ Giraffe Tweet edition.
This was sent to me (I am omitting that person’s name because I am not cruel), and I am slightly horrified to say that I found it enjoyable. There’s not much that can be fairly said to be improved by getting the TMZ treatment, but this story… yeah. It’s a perfect example of our new, shiny media world. It really and truly is.

OK, I gotta say: I like how my new Twitter icon came out.
I think that it actually looks pretty sweet, considering that it was done on paint.net:
I know, I know: it’s not an evil giraffe. It all has to do with my new account name, which is based on an old gaming NPC for In Nomine that I wrote up once (and then horrifically mutated for a dark, dark, dark shared-world project, but never mind that right now). I flatter myself that it flows well.
The new account, by the way, is https://twitter.com/Ogiel23.
Tweet of the Day, …What, Indeed edition.
Seems reasonable.

I wanted to post video of the giraffe/zookeeper thing…
…but all of the embeddable video had weird vocals, sorry. Here’s the story:
He got his dying wish: A chance to say goodbye to the animals he adored.
A mentally handicapped Dutch zookeeper in the final stages of cancer shared a heartwarming moment with a giraffe.
The majestic creature at the Rotterdam Zoo bent down to nuzzle the keeper, identified only as Mario, as he lay in a bed set up in its habitat.
…because giraffes are cool like that.
I was nowhere near the place.
And now, a brief interlude.

My wife sent me this. Given some of the grim domestic/political stuff we’ve all been dealing with this afternoon…
…I was going to be unkind, here.
Epic-level unkind, involving two major media-related stories of the last two days. It was going to be nasty.
Instead, here’s a video of an ostrich playing tag with a baby giraffe.

[It was uninteresting, even to me. I consider this a personal failure, and will offer up a cute video of a baby giraffe to make amends.]
There’s a guy looking to collect one million pictures of hand-drawn giraffes.
(Via @CalebHowe) He thinks that he can do it; and, really, this is the other thing that the internet is for*. If you can’t actually draw… well, you can go here
Anyway, here’s my (evil) giraffe.
Excuse me, but I was an English major; so why don’t you go sit down, make yourself comfortable, and have a nice cup of STFU?
[UPDATE] As God is my witness, my son immediately and without encouragement improved this picture so that the evil giraffe has now fallen into the volcano lair’s lava:
Thus ends the career of a promising themed supervillian, over before it even truly began.
