Winston, your song and dance routine makes me want to drink absinthe through a straw.

About Me


UPDATE! I finally graduated (yet I'm 9.3 units shorts so I'm currently in summer school...it never ends, does it?). I finished my honors thesis on Grauer's Gorilla conservation. Grauer's gorillas are a subspecies of gorilla that live in the eastern part of the Democratic Republic of Congo. They are similar to Dian Fossey's famous Mountain Gorillas but are genetically different. They are in grave danger of extinction because of deforestation, disease and poaching. All of these things have one thing in common: Humans. The people in the region are suffering from the lingering effects of warfare (both in the DRC and Rwanda's 1994 genocide, as this region borders Rwanda and houses many Hutu and Tutsi refugees), malnutrition, and poor sanitation. The needs of the people are oftentimes not met, therefore how can conservationists expect the local population to support gorilla conservation. My proposal was to take care of the needs of the people and hopefully once their needs are met they can take care of their environment and wildlife. That being said, I hope to go there one day soon and work with the people of the region. Asking what they need, rather than telling them what they need. The area is still unstable and I am unsure of when I'll be able to get to the DRC. Time will surely tell.Welcome. First of all, I'm a geek and I love Trivial Pursuit. Alex Trebek is a beautiful man. I laugh easily and often. Forget diamonds. Family Guy is the key to any woman's heart. I am a quinnessetial nerd with a penchant for quoting Mel Brooks films (you had me at "Blazing Saddles", Mel). I like primates, especially oragutans, gorillas and bonobons-nature's REAL sex machines-and am a card carrying member of the L.A. Zoo. I like peanut butter and my bunny, trixie. She is an ornery vixen.I'm also in an improv troupe called The Omelettes. We are an irreverrant and wacky group of blasphemous fiends that employ loose morals for the sake of a joke.Check us out at www.theomelettes.5u.com
