#[ this little factoid continues to bring me so much joy JFKDSKLGHL ]

i started rereading jurassic park this week, a bit belated for the anniversary and long overdue for me in general. the first time i read it, i was in 9th grade and often read during my geography class, so i wasn't annotating or tabbing sections (i am now).

i'm a little over a quarter of the way through it, and i just. i know i mentioned this a few years ago, but it continues to both fascinate me and crack me up that this is raph's favorite book, and that he prefers it to the movie.

a quarter of the way through, and there has been so much scientific discussion, across paleontology, botany, and mathematics and chaos theory. we've only just now arrived at the dinosaur hatchery and encountered a baby velociraptor (i love her).

like, i know it's a given that all four of the boys are nerds on varying spots of the spectrum, but this just makes the return of savanti episodes a trillion times funnier to me because you know don, especially, has raph clocked.

"and i see a geekasaurus rex--" raphael shut your goofy punk mouth, i know the reason you're eager to find someone to fight right now is because you have so much pent up excitement over being here that you don't know what else to do with the excess energy--you're about to vibrate through the wall, i can feel the oncoming sonic boom from here; you're not fooling anyone. now hurry up and go read all the plaques on the triceratops display; i know you're itching to find something to use that'll wig out traximus later. go on, shoo.
