I am not feeling particularly spry this day. I have a cold...in July, and am just feeling overall without purpose. This is why when I saw this video of a squirrel with a yogurt cup over its head, I felt this was a perfect representation of where I am in the universe. The lack of any sound other than the scrambling of the rodent or nature makes it all too hypnotizing. I watched it over and over about 15 times and since it is looped 3 times in the actual clip that means I watched this 45 times today.
