We now turn to the nature and wildlife portion of our program:
observation of the kiwi outside of its natural habitat.
At first glance, the kiwi is a large, imposing animal. Yet it is full of contradictions. At 6'4" it could stand tall and proud, but it slouches and walks with its shoulders sloped forward in the concrete jungle, creating an awkward gait.
It probably weighs over 200 pounds, but it has only been observed masticating upon PB&J sandwiches, of which it eats for breakfast, lunch, AND dinner. Meanwhile, it is surrounded by plentiful harvested flora and freshly slaughtered game.
After it smears the foreign-imported grape mash over its toasted leavened wheat product, it drops the butter knife in the sink and does not cleanse its most valuable tool (its only flat utensil suitable for spreading preserves and legume-derived paste).
It has not marveled at how, every day, a clean butter knife materializes in the pile of culinary supplies on the counter. Perhaps it is oblivious to the actions of a more advanced species.
It has been entrusted to teach lessons to the younglings, of "geography" and history, yet it has no knowledge of what exactly it will be teaching in less than four weeks.
The inner workings of the kiwi remain a mystery to modern (wo)man.

you know what i've observed? you're kinda passive aggressive - it's not a bad thing completely, but when you're dealing with roommates, you really need to be upfront with them in your communication when it comes to things that matter. chores, finances, and people visiting, those I think are places where you have the right to speak up if you're uncomfortable about something. guys are *really* clueless and pretty dirty compared to girls and won't do something unless they are reminded or told to. it may help to have a sit-down with the kiwi or to come up with a chores schedule.
