hello monkey

do you ook ook eek or eek ook eek?

.. or, controversially enough, eek eek ook?

Ook, ooki ki ki, eek ook, ki ki ookee! Ook, eek eek, ki. (Since this question is very intriguing, I will translate. I do commit arson on a weekly basis, usually around 8:30 AM to 12:45 PM, usually on Mondays. I know that treason is a bit controversial, but I did attempt it once, and failed miserably. At least I didn't get caught but damn those Taiko Rally Drummers, god do THEY ruin the party. At least my two fellow associates helped me escape with no charges! They can tap well too!)

our own 12 eek monkey - a common project for Põhjamaade Hirm and Genka that started way back in 2006. until the beginning of 2017,  when their debut album was released, they had only performed once. their album "Xibalba Spa" was sold out in 2 hours. currently, you can buy this album for 2500€ (insane...). the track translates to "my shit is space". video is off the hook and the track itself is mesmerizing, to say the least. hope you enjoy! our own 12 eek monkey - a common project for Põhjamaade Hirm and Genka that started way back in 2006.

Read on Ao3!

1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9  | 10 | 11  | 12 | 13

A/N: Idk how I got so far behind on here but I did so expect more updates this week until I catch up to where I am on Ao3. Anyway, sorry for the long wait and enjoy!

Chapter 8

“Can you please just put me out of my misery and ask her out already,” Plagg whines. Adrien takes a second out of his brooding to glare at the kwami.

“I can’t just ask her out. She’s being weird.” With Adrien and Chat Noir, Marinette hasn’t been acting like herself. He knows she was upset the other week after the Quaker but he didn’t realize that it would affect their relationship. She gets mad at him all the time for being reckless; he didn’t think this one instance was any different. He’s still visiting her on a regular basis but their dynamic is off and Adrien is at a loss on how to fix it. The one time he tried bringing it up, Marinette turned red and stuttered about monkeys for five minutes.

“She’s always been weird.”

“She’s being different, then.”

“Just give her some cheese, that’ll fix anything. Now, are we going or are you gonna let me sleep for once?”

“You sleep plenty. Plagg, claws out!”

Within minutes Chat lands on Mari’s balcony and he’s immediately put at ease. The promise of seeing his Lady is enough to quell any doubts. If she didn’t like him anymore, she wouldn’t keep letting him visit. Sure enough, the trapdoor is unlocked so he drops in without second thought.

This, he realizes far too late, is a mistake. Standing in the middle of her room, talking excitedly on the phone, is Marinette. Wearing nothing but lacy red panties and a bright pink bra.

“I’m sorry!” he shouts, clamping his eyes shut. He is never going to get that image out of his head. It has been permanently etched into his retinas.

“Eek,” Marinette squeals, tripping over a shoe on the ground and flinging her phone.

“I—I can leave.”

“N-no, it’s okay. Just, let me find my phone…”

Chat waits, fidgeting in place, while he hears Marinette scurrying around the room.

“Sorry, Alya. I tripped and dropped my phone… no I’m okay… I should probably go anyway. I’ll see you tomorrow!”

There’s some more shuffling and creaking before Chat feels a dip in the bed and he assumes it’s safe to open his eyes.

“Such a gentleman,” Marinette teases. She’s flushed from her roots all the way down to her chest. He brings his eyes back up to her face, unwilling to let himself linger too long on her chest area. There is a very high chance he will not survive this night.

He clears his throat once. Twice. Swallows and clears his throat once more. “Sorry.”

“I—I need to get better at locking the sunroof when you shouldn’t come in.”

“I certainly wasn’t expecting that…”

“I’m sorry,” she moans, hiding her face in her hands. “I was showing Alya my bra because I made it myself and I wanted to—”

“Wait. You made it?”

“Yeah,” she says, peeking her head out from her hands.

“Marinette, that’s amazing! Can I see it?”

There’s a beat of silence. “Um…”

“I didn’t mean it like that!” Chat exclaims. Any blood that might have left his face comes rushing back at his implication. “I just… I meant, like, when it’s not on you.”

“You want me to take off my bra?”

“Yeah. Wait, no! I… You… I meant, like, when you’re not wearing it anymore. Like, at some point, when you are fully clothed and wearing a different bra?” He hangs his head in shame.

“Oh, Kitty. I’m just teasing you. Stop before you dig yourself into a hole you can’t climb out of.”

“I think I’m already there.”

Marinette giggles. Even through his mortification, he can appreciate what a pretty sound her laugh is. She seems to be carrying herself better than him but she must be embarrassed, too. That thought grounds him and gives him strength.

“UMS III,” he asks, hoping to get the night back on track.

“Bring it on, Chaton,” she says, flicking his bell. She clambers off the bed and toward the computer. He gives himself a second before following her down.

“I’ll have you know I’ve been practicing. I’m totally going to cream you,” he says and is proud that it comes out like his usual voice.

“Oh yeah? Why don’t you put your money where your mouth is?”

“You want to make a bet on UMS III? That’s not fair, you’re gonna win.”

“I thought you were gonna cream me?”

Chat glares at her. He’s glad, at least, that things seem to be going back to normal. He’s Chat Noir, he shouldn’t get so flustered over anything. Even if that anything is the love of his life wearing nothing but underwear… no. He’s not thinking about that right now.

“Well, I am feline pretty confident,” Chat says, rubbing his chest proudly.

“Tell you what. I win, you have to do my physics homework for the next two weeks. You win, and I’ll give you a kiss—anywhere you want.”

His eyes widen. What is up with her lately? She has a teasing gleam in her eyes, though, so he pushes back his flustered state and presses into her personal space.

“Anywhere,” he asks, wiggling his eyebrows.

“Anywhere,” she confirms.

“You’re on.”

He loses, as they both knew he would. His final score is much closer to hers than usual, though, and—he casts a sidelong glance as Marinette does her typical victory dance—he can’t help but think she went easier on him this time. Like she actually wanted to give him a chance at winning.

Nah. He’s just getting better.

--

Adrien tries not to get his hopes up when it comes to anything. His life has just been one disappointment after another. His birthday is no exception to that. He could count the number of birthday parties he’s had on one hand and none of them were all too enjoyable. His first birthday party only even happened because his best friend was akumatized.

Which is why he’s trying really hard not to get too excited about his plans this weekend. His friends planned a fun trip to the street fair in honor of Adrien’s upcoming birthday. The fact that Marinette was the one who came up with the idea in the first place is enough to convince him that something absolutely horrible is going to happen. He’s not that lucky.

Nino, Alya, and Marinette are already there by the time he meets them.

“Happy birthday, dude,” Nino says, pulling Adrien into a crushing hug.

“Not my birthday yet,” Adrien says, hugging him back, “but thanks.”

“We’re celebrating your birthday today,” Alya says as she pulls Nino off to give Adrien a hug of her own. “It totally counts.”

“Thanks, Alya.”

He turns to Marinette expectantly and remembers, all at once, Marinette in her bra and panties and his face heats up. He can’t even look her in the eyes as she stammers out ‘H-happy birthday, A-Adrien.’

She doesn’t offer him a hug.

“Thanks, Marinette.”

“Who invited her,” Alya asks with distaste.

Adrien winces, knowing who Alya’s talking about without needing to turn around.

“Adrikins invited me,” Chloé says, proud. She rests her elbow on his shoulder and pulls Sabrina forward. “He loves me.”

Alya glares at him. “Why would you invite them?”

���You said it was for my birthday. I wanted all my closest friends here.”

“Chloé and Sabrina are more than welcome to hang out with us today,” Marinette says. “We’re all here for Adrien, I’m sure we can call a truce for a few hours.”

“Whatever,” Chloé says. “Adrien, do you like my new shoes? Daddykins bought them for me yesterday for your birthday.”

“Your dad bought you shoes… for my birthday?”

“Yep. Isn’t he the best?”

“Sure.”

The six of them spend the next hour walking around the different shops. They’re able to avoid tense situations for the most part. Adrien can tell Chloé is trying to respect Adrien’s feelings by not taking every opportunity to torment Marinette, of which he is extremely grateful. In fact, it seems like Chloé wants Adrien and Marinette to get together, if the way she keeps pushing the two of them together is any indication. But Chloé can only handle hanging out with Adrien’s friends for too long and eventually she and Sabrina break off, promising to join them later on.

“Good riddance,” Alya says as they retreat to another booth.

“Thanks again for coming out to support me last night,” Nino says, cutting off Alya before she can start ranting. “How’d you convince your old man to let you go?”

“I didn’t. I snuck out.”

“Oh shit,” Nino exclaims. “You snuck out just for me? Thanks, man!”

“Adrien Agreste snuck out of his house?” Alya gasps. “Next thing you know, we’ll hear about Adrien knocking someone up, doing drugs in backway alleys, dropping out of school.”

“I’ve snuck out before,” Adrien protests. He sneaks out all the time, actually, but he figures it's better not to mention that.

“Oh please. I doubt you’ve ever broken a rule in your life.”

“I break rules all the time,” he says, indignant.

“Okay, sweetie.”

Adrien pouts. It’s not that he wants his friends to think he’s a delinquent but some acknowledgement that he isn’t actually the poster child his dad wants him to be would be nice. He glances at Marinette but she doesn’t appear to paying him any mind.

“You know I break the rules sometimes, right Marinette,” he asks.

She startles and looks up at him, her blue eyes wide. “I-um. You isn’t—aren’t—no, I mean. That is to say…”

“Hey,” Alya interjects. “I have to go to the bathroom. Come with me, M?”

“Yes, please.”

Adrien sighs as he watches the two girls walk away.

“What’s up with you two, anyway,” Nino asks.

“Me and who,” Adrien asks.

“Dude.”

“Nothing is going on. You saw how she is, she won’t even talk to me.”

“Dude…”

“What?”

Nino sighs and takes his hat off his head. “How serious are you about her?”

Adrien feels his face flame up. He’s had many conversations with various people about his feelings for Marinette but they’ve always talked around it. He never actually admitted to anyone he likes her; everyone just assumes (correctly) that he does.

“I’m, uh, pretty serious,” he mumbles.

“Like, I need specifics if I’m gonna keep up this conversation,” Nino says, peering at him over his glasses.

“I would marry her tomorrow if she’d have me,” Adrien says.

Nino’s eyes bulge before he bursts out laughing. ”You two are so ridiculous. Just ask her out, I guarantee she will say yes.”

“I can’t just ask her out! She likes someone else, she told me!”

Nino shakes his head. “She likes you. Trust me.”

Adrien’s heart flips in his chest. “How do you know?”

“Everyone knows. She’s had the hugest crush on you since day two.”

“What?”

Nino sighs and pulls Adrien over to an empty table near the food trucks. “I don’t know what she told you but I’m positive she’ll say yes if you ask her out.”

Adrien stares at the booth set up in front of them. It’s a bunch of teenagers selling handmade bracelets to raise money for their debate team. He watches as one of the girls pulls out some string and starts making a new one right there, rhythmically weaving the strands through each other.

“You’re sure,” he finally asks.

“As sure as my name is Nino.”

--

Somehow, he gets stuck sitting at the table with Marinette next to him as his only company. Adrien is, like, 90% sure it’s not a coincidence. While he appreciates his friends’ encouragement, this is not a comfortable situation. Marinette is sitting quietly, drumming her fingers against the table and all he can think about is her in her underwear. Which is just… it’s inappropriate. He shouldn’t be thinking about that and even if Nino is right and she likes him he doubts she wants him thinking about her that way.

But he can’t get it out of his mind.

“So… are you having fun,” Marinette asks after a solid ten minutes of silence between the two of them.

“Yeah! Today has been fun. Thanks so much for planning this.”

“Of course,” she says, smiling shyly at him. “You deserve a nice birthday.”

“This is definitely one of the best ones I’ve ever had, thanks to you.”

She blushes and averts her eyes. “Not just me. We all helped plan it, it was just my idea but it was a team effort, really,” she babbles.

Could all her awkward, nervous habits around him really be because she has a crush on him? It would explain why he can’t find anyone else at school she might like. And he noticed a while ago that she only acts that way around him—so it’s not a far stretch. It’s not a far stretch at all.

Adrien reaches over to hold her fidgeting hands. “I appreciate it all the same.”

She glances at their hands and then up at his face, a beautiful blush spreading across her freckled cheeks.

“N-no problem.”

He feels like he should say something but he doesn’t know where to go from here. If he were Chat Noir right now, he’d kiss her hands or throw out a pick-up line or make a pun. But he’s Adrien Agreste and he’s holding Marinette’s hand—Marinette who might actually reciprocate his feelings, Marinette who he saw nearly naked two nights ago—and he is at a loss for words.

Luckily, his phone buzzes and provides a welcome distraction from his thoughts. He withdraws his hands from hers and tries not to notice the way she curls her hands into fists the moment he lets go.

“It’s Alya,” he says, as though Marinette would care who’s texting him.

“What’d she say,” Marinette asks.

When Adrien opens the text, he immediately regrets letting Marinette know who texted him. His head whips up and he looks around, trying to spot Alya but he doesn’t see her anywhere.

“Nothing important,” he says, tilting the phone away from Marinette lest she see.

Alya sent him a picture of the two of them sitting at the table and captioned it #soulmates . She follows up with a second text saying ‘ask her out!!!!!’ Nino—the traitor—must have told her about their conversation from earlier.

It’s probably stupid but Adrien taps on the picture to make it bigger and his eyes are automatically drawn to Marinette’s face. Alya must have just taken it because Marinette is blushing and they’re holding hands. It’s when he focuses on his own face, though, that he get floored.

Adrien has posed for a lot of pictures. He’s seen himself in countless magazines, billboards, posters, et cetera, et cetera. But he’s never seen himself smiling like that before. Eyes twinkling with admiration, smile easy and sure.

His heart lodges in his throat.

“They’ve been gone for a while,” Marinette says, oblivious. “Did she say when they’ll be back? I’m not surprised Chloé ditched us but I can’t believe Nino would leave for so long during your birthday party.”

“Uh. She didn’t say. I’m sure they’ll be back soon.” He closes out of the picture and sees the text again. Ask her out. He can’t, not right now. But soon.

Definitely soon.

Ethical Animal Tourism Thailand

 So me and Esta are off to Thailand in April EEK!

So far said schedule looks like 

Day 1: fly to Doha then to Bangkok

Bangkok

DAY 2: taste the magic of the night tour 

DAY 3: 1/2 day floating market tour

reclining Buddha and The Grand Palace in afternoon

Chinatown in the evening

DAY 4: Fly to Chiang Mai

have a wander - try to find a tour for hill tribes 

Day 5: Chiang Mai city and temples tour 

check out Deck 1 in evening

Day 6: exploring in the am and early afternoon

4pm garden cooking class with locals 

Day 7: Fly to Phuket 

night markets and bars

Day 8: Beach club - cafe del mar 

or  dreams

stay 11am till sunset 

I can’t really decide on this one. Cafe del Mar will be playing amazing music but it’s a saturday and i’m worried it will attract all the pretentious, instagrammy noobs which make everyone feel self-conscious. And dreams looks more chilled and relaxed vibes. But I wouldn’t want to miss out on an amazing day at Cafe del Mar because I was worried I wouldn’t be about the crowd being prettier, makeup plastered and greek god/goddess bodies. It’s a hard one. Hopefully Esta will make this call for me. 

Day 9: venture to the Similan Islands 

Day 10:  speed boat tour Phi Phi Island

Day 11:  Kayaking and beach - weather permitting kayaks

Viewpoint for sunset and stargazing 

Day 12: Beach day 

Monkey Hill - don’t get attacked by monkeys EEK!

Day 13: Fly home

Now this looks like an AMAZING itinerary - Me and Esta are like super UBER excited.  The teacher in me likes to plan things but I’m chill enough to go with the flow as long as i’ve got things up my sleeve to pull out as suggestions so we’re not just wasting time and missing opportunities 

I’ve been doing lots of research.  The problems lies when we’re in Chiang Mai as there are LOTS of elephant sanctuaries (where you don’t ride Elephants) but i’ve been doing my research and there are bad trip advisor reviews

I read this guardian article 

https://www.theguardian.com/travel/2018/aug/11/how-ethical-is-the-elephant-sanctuary-youre-visiting 

which gave me sanctuaries/venues to research 

Now the first one and the one listed as most ethical have quite a few bad reviews which is concerning - 

https://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/Attraction_Review-g293917-d601884-Reviews-Elephant_Nature_Park-Chiang_Mai.html#REVIEWS

So we’ve got 29 Terrible and 40 poor which equates to 69 - SIMPLE MATH

mostly around booking but Mooken04 mentions elephant mistreatment which is CONCERNING! Cove77 and Anna2981 also give damning reviews which are worrying! ‘TheLove0fTravel also leaves a shocking review. It makes me wonder what research the guardian did when writing their article. I asked our travel agent at STA travel Leela who recommended Tong Bai but it has 20 trip advisor reviews over the past 6 years and they’re all good but it comes up literally like nowhere on google, it’s not in any news articles or documented which begs the question why? I then turned to a friend Stefan as he has recently visited ENP and he said that it was humane despite the massive group sizes and hoards of tourists. 

On face value videobloggers, bloggers, youtubers and major news articles sell this sanctuary yet hoards and hoards of tourists visit this sanctuary and other sanctuaries which can’t be comfortable for the elephants it must be extremely distressing. But then that comes back to the question of elephant tourism. A means of sustaining the lives of elephants and the cost of their well-being and mental health due to mistreatment and abuse. 

I did begin to research Thailand and elephant tourism but honestly I got too emotional and it was crippling me so I stopped - it’s shocking now that there is not enough land/jungle to release all of the elephants in sanctuaries or working elephants in shows, circuses and on stage as Thailand has become more developed. I’m sure there is a similar picture for other animals in different parts of the world

Hmm... 

Me and Esta have decided to give elephant sanctuaries a miss this time as we wouldn’t want to support the abuse or mistreatment of elephants but we have agreed to donate money to the WWF

OOC INFORMATION:

Name/ Pseudonym: Ash Age: 27 Preferred Pronouns: she/her Timezone: PST Triggers: rape Activity: I do work full time as a nurse, so I do have 3 12 hour shifts through my week and requisite recovery time, but! I always managed to get on and post things every day, or when it's super crazy at least every three days.

IC INFORMATION:

Character you’re applying for: Bruce Banner Age: 48 FaceClaim: Mark Ruffalo Secondary FaceClaim: I honestly can't think of anyone else I'd like to use, but I would so be open to suggestions if there was an issue! Traits: Brilliant, Compassionate, Cynical, Unstable Reformation Stance: Pro Is their Identity known?: Yes Class Standing (junior, senior, TA or professor, etc): Professor - Biophysics, Bio-engineering

Why do you want to play this character?: Bruce Banner has been my favorite Marvel character since before I could remember. I was always related to him, his intelligence and introverted nature and just how opposed it is to his personality when he's the Hulk, and having to live with the knowledge of the monster you can become if you're not careful enough. Other characters you’d like to play (feel free to leave this blank. we are just curious about what you are interested in): Thor, Maria Hill, Rogue, I honestly love so many characters.

Bio:

Bruce wasn't someone who often thought of himself as a hero, even if that was technically the role he'd managed to fill. For most if not all of his life, Bruce has felt like he's been barely treading water, trying to deal with the lingering trauma of his childhood, and then trying to stop himself from repeating history and turning into the type of man his father was- a violent, angry, monster. So he kept his head down and focused on his studies, praying to a God he didn't believe in that he'd only inherited his father's intelligence, and not the darker things. But the things that haunted him managed to follow him regardless, a monkey on his back to turn a popular phrase. But by the time he'd made his way through a couple of PhDs and met Betty Ross, Bruce thought that maybe he'd be clear of it. That maybe there was something to this world, and he might have a real place in it.

Later, Bruce would look back and have said that he should have known. There was something of a curse on his name when it came down to it, and he should have trusted that more than he trusted the fragile happiness he'd managed to eek out over the past few years. A few experiments gone wrong and Bruce found he was even more of a monster than the man his father had been. In every sense of the word Bruce felt like he'd been turned into a villain, like some cosmic karma had visited the Hulk upon him as some strange kind of punishment. He spent nearly the next ten years in hiding, from one backwater town to another, and then country to country, trying to find a way to control the very real problem of his rage while hiding from the various government agents that would like to take him and use him as a blunt weapon.

But he couldn't run forever, even when he desperately wanted to. And that was how he ended up at Shield University, when Nick Fury finally got enough of playing cat and mouse with him across the Middle East. What he thought was going to be a war ended up being an offer of a job- a professorship at Shield University. Bruce wasn't an idiot, he knew that it was less an offer and more of a command. He knew what kind of security risk he was, and it was probably better to keep an eye on him. The devil you know. So Bruce was surprised to find that he honestly enjoyed teaching. The past four years teaching had given him a purpose he'd lost, and maybe that fact more than anything else meant he'd had less fear of the Other Guy taking over. He still feels like he's being watched and that any second everything he's gained could be taken away, but for once in his life, Bruce is trying to be a little optimistic.

Writing Sample: (post Infinity War sample)

On top of everything else, on top of all the anger and loss and confusion and odd kind of gratefulness to still be alive, strangely for someone who had tried to die so many times… on top of all of that, Bruce felt strangely useless. Maybe it was right what Thor had said back on Sakaar, about how useless he was without the Hulk.

It was why he’d made the determination to slip into the Avengers Facility and lock himself away in one of the labs. He had no family, hardly anyone who was a friend left, not after what had happened. Bruce felt like he was intruding on other’s grief by even considering trying to be with them in this time. Even Tony, who he considered his closest friend, was so far beyond him. And so here he was. Everyone was falling apart and he was sifting around the lab, poking through old notes on Loki’s scepter, everything he had on Vision, on the Tesseract, trying to find something. Something that would be of some help so he could stop being this weird kind of useless hanger on.

Soulstones were beyond science, beyond magic, and Bruce was desperate to piece together something useful. He’d gotten to this facility a day ago, and he had spent all 24 hours in this lab, finding nothing. He could feel exhaustion setting in and sighed, pulling his glasses off and pinching the bridge of his nose. He closed his eyes for just one second and then startled when he heard some vague shuffling sounds by the door. "I wasn’t sleeping,“ he called out, sitting up and resettling his glasses on his nose. "I…can’t say I’ve gotten anywhere with this but if you need help with anything else-” he added too, peering around some scattered equipment to try and see who it was that had come here at this hour…though to be honest, Bruce didn’t know what hour it was. "Hi," he landed on a little awkwardly, a small, brief smile crossing his lips.

Extra Bits and Bobs: Here's my other Bruce blog- doctor-bruce-banner.tumblr.com, if you want to see any further writing samples or check out how I like to play Bruce!

Rule check: in order to be considered for acceptance, you must answer the following question. Applications without this will not be considered. What is our stance on activity??

Activity checks happen every two weeks on Sunday, and those with six or more days of no activity will be contacted. And the rp works on a three strike system, three strikes and your out.

Day 199 - South Africa 🇿🇦 - Kruger day one. — HOW MANY ANIMALS DID I SEE TODAY? Guess before reading on! This was a great day. — The thought of those cold winter 44 European marathons coming up is daunting. I’ve been moaning about the sun, so prepare for me to moan about the cold. Today though, no complaints at all. — Imagine when a kid enters a sweet shop. Eyes wide, big grin, excitedly fidgety 😬 and ready for great things. This was me setting off on my first few miles from crocodile bridge this morning. — Here’s the count of today’s 10 hours exploring the National Park. Lion 🦁 10 Baboon 19 Hippopotamus 15 Vervet Monkey 🐵 3 White Rhino 🦏 3 Giraffe 🦒 25 Warthog 29 Bush Pig 🐖 11 African Elephant 🐘 60 Burchell’s Zebra 🦓 33 Greater Kudu 6 African Buffalo 7 Blue wildebeest 12 Impala (to many to count) Duiker 1 Slender Mongoose 5 Dwarf Mongoose 4 Rock Monitor 1 Striped Skink 1 Crocodile 2 Brown Snake Eagle 🦅 1 Stepp Buzzard 1 Yellow billed Egret 1 African Jacana 4 Natal Spufowl 2 Helmeted Guineafoul 4 Kori Bustard 3 Black Bellied Bustard 3 Ostrich 1 Burchell’s starling 1 Cape glossy starling (to many to count) Magpie Shrike 3 Southern yellow billed hornbill 10 European Roller 1 Lilac Breasted Roller 1 Burchell’s Coucal 1 Crested Barbet 1 Grey go away bird 2 Village indigo bird 1 — As you can imagine this is pretty awesome in the literal sense. I was in awe. Thanks to Dave here at the camp he lent me his huge new lens so I was able to snap every animal I saw. — I witnessed two lions stalking zebra, elephants washing, rhino grazing, and giraffe looking like they own the place. What a day. I have a feeling this is going to be hard to beat. What’s your favourite big animal? — 200 days tomorrow. Eek. I will celebrate with a good sort of my photos. I’m so excited to get my photography exhibition started. So many great shots and not enough time to look at them all. We all chatted around the crackling camp fire. Friends, food, animals, and then sleep to the sound track of hundreds of crickets and frogs. #adventure #africa #adventurers #kruger #bird #twitch #running #runningtheworld196 #camping #wildlife #wildlifephotography #runner #run #lion #zebra #outdoors (at Crocodile Bridge Safari Lodge)

Preparing for Zambia, part 1

It’s been almost three years since I said I planned to post every week - ha! Turns out, doing a PhD is time consuming... 

It’s been a whirlwind few years. I jumped through all the major hoops of my program, including comprehensive exams, a master’s thesis, finishing coursework, and defending my dissertation proposal. I am now what we call “ABD” (all but dissertation) which literally means nothing and everything to us grad students.

Fast forward to now - I am preparing for the long haul trip to the field where I will go and follow around monkeys hoping to learn something significant about them. After spending two summers in Zambia, I decided to focus my PhD research on the Kinda baboons that live in Kasanka National Park. I am lucky to be collaborating with an amazing project out there - the Kasanka Baboon Project, currently the only field site that studies the Kinda baboon. More on how great these baboons are later... although here’s a hint

I am *hopefully* leaving in about a month, and it will be the longest amount of time I spend ~in the field~ as I will be gone about a year (eek!). While I have spent significant time in different African countries before, my life in South Africa was less ‘rugged’ and field-based. This will be a year of getting up before dawn to follow monkeys all day, record their behaviors, and collect their poop. Luckily Kinda Camp has an amazing team who will make the experience great.

Alright, so in an attempt to get into the habit of blogging and keeping people up-to-date with my life abroad, I want to start now. I’ve been preparing a lot of random things and my roommate suggested I blog about it. So here we go.

There are a lot of things you have to think when you’re going to spend time somewhere for 12 months. Many of our usual luxuries or whatever I am happy without, but sometimes you have to get creative and really remember what you need.

For example, for the life of me, I cannot remember if you can buy tampons in Lusaka (the capital city), although I do remember never seeing them in our nearest town (just pads). So here I am googling the best/cheapest way to buy a 12-month supply of tampons and thinking how I am going to pack all of them.

Spoiler alert - Walmart has the best deal! Get with it, Amazon...
