Friends; future lovers: This is the get-away spot that will be frequented by yours truly for the next several years during the last leg of the summer. Oh, man. Oh, cottage. I miss you. And... I will see you, so soon.

God, I hate that I never have anyone to go out with on nights I can stay up late... and I always have too much fun and stay out too late on nights that I should get to bed early. Shame on me.

Someone pointed out earlier today that the sea cow may possibly be the most retarded-looking animal ever. I disagree on principle, but I have yet to think of a more retarded-looking animal. Platypus, maybe? Stork?
