A man and a parrot

This story made me laugh a little because I intially thought it was a joke, but then I felt a bit disturbed:
“POLICE in the US state of Florida charged a 34-year-old rescue worker with cruelty to animals after a weekend incident in which he bit the head off a parrot.”
Found the pics from Rumi in South Beach

You can find the pics here. Go to picture 127 which is on the last page for Rumi restaurant. You’ll see me looking like a goose in a red shirt. The guy next to me is my mate Sean from work (aka Saeed). The people are all Nina’s friends AFAIK (1). I think they’re all Persian except for the girl with the light brown hair. I think she was from Peru. Nina is the one all the way to the right in the brown top.
ed: I’ve updated the previous post.
(1) for the non-l337 (2) Internet users, AFAIK = as far as I know.
(2) Sorry, there I go again. l337 means elite.
Christmas/NY 2004 Part 4 – Yosemite
Posted by Kristian Golding on February 9, 2005
I can’t put it into words how freaking amazing Yosemite national park was. It had some of the most beautiful scenery ever. Just absolutely amazing. I also experienced the coldest weather I’ve ever been in. We camped outside for 2 nights and the second night was just absolutely freezing. We’re guessing it got down to about -1 or -2 degrees F, which translates to something like -16 degrees celcius. My sleeping bag was only rated to 0 degrees celcius, so… very bloody cold. Of course that was made up for by the fact that when I woke up after the second night of sleep I stepped out into snow. I’d never been in snow before. Absolutely awesome.
We saw Yosemite Falls, Mirror lake and a bunch of Giant Sequoia trees which were just truly huge.
Right now that’s about 1/2 of the photos. My mate Timbo has the rest (including pics of Sequoia trees) but he’s been a slack bastard in getting them to me (as I’ve been in getting my photos to him). When I do get them, I’ll post them up ASAP.
I would have actually taken more photos myself but I encountered a limitation in SLR cameras. It was so bloody cold that the shutter froze shut and I couldn’t take any more pictures. This was after trekking through snow a couple of feet deep in some places for about a mile to get to the trees. That’s the only time I’ve been disappointed with my camera.
