I should be filing my taxes...

...but instead, I'm procrastinating per usual.

Tonight's procrastination fascination? A mission to find some use for the spare bedroom and bathroom which currently sit empty and abandoned.

The best idea yet - and by far - is to use it to house and breed otters. I mean think about it. All I'll need is a small swimming pool and some wood, maybe a few snails...

As you may or may not have guessed by my newfound love for and desire to breed random mammals, Katie and I took a trip to the Virginia Living Museum today. A visit which led me to proclaim the otter as my new favorite animal.

And because if there's anything better than a bunch of river otters goofing off, it's a bunch of river otters goofing off to the magical musical stylings of Jack Johnson... observe:





I also fell in love with the bobcat, but it would probably be more likely to bolt from a life of apartment captivity. Or, you know... claw my face off.

P.S. But in all seriousness, it's looking more and more like I won't be getting a new roommate until May. Any ideas for the spare room?

P.P.S. Know any Virginians in need of a roommate? Must be okay with sharing a bathroom with an otter.
