(For some reason, I have become a posting fiend lately)
So I am sitting here, working on my paper, (only 500 words to go...and I don't even have citations yet!!) and this lion documentary comes on.
Okay, huge admission: I LOVE nature documentaries, especially ones about lions or the ocean. I have this secret dream of maybe one day joining a documentary film crew in Africa and following some lions around for a month or so, and every time one of these documentaries comes on, I always google documentary job openings just to see what's out there.
Right now, after a devastating dry spell, the rains have finally come to the plains, and according to the highly British narrator "It's not just the wildebeests the predators have come to eat. Many of Africa's antelopes are here as well, and the tribe is getting ready to enjoy a time of plenty." I am always entranced by the slow motion camera, especially when we find out that one of the lionesses that we were sure had died in the summer comes back to the tribe. "The pride is still together!!" the narrator rejoices, his voice full of barely suppressed exultation. Yessss!!! I think to myself. The music is swelling, triumphant, and the lions are going to take down a warthog. I think you see why I love these so much...
In conclusion, you may keep your "Friends" and your "Scrubs" (the shows that play on continuous loop here), because I will be inwardly cheering when rains come to the plains and the lions learn to hunt!
