Kind of a hoser. Likes birds.

"Bird area" 1: her cage, where she's really only supposed to sleep and eat. Instead, she's always in there playing with her favourite toys.
A colourful tattoo of a small, round bird with antennae.
A drawing of a small, chunky bird with antennae, black-and-white, pen-and-ink.

A gull in its juvenile plumage taking a leisurely morning flight.
An ink drawing of a tacky macramé rug. There's a smear of yellow paint over it, meant to be piss.
A photograph of a dog tied to a tree. The dog is sort of fat and lumpy, and looks like a rucksack.
A colourful digital painting of two budgies, one blue and one green. The green budgie is taking flight. Their toes are on backwards, because I am stupid.
A bad cell-phone photograph of a white budgerigar sitting on the floor, near a wheelchair.
A doodle of a small, happy, dancing frog or toad.

A black-and-white doodle of Cpt. Blackadder with pencils up his nose and underpants on his head.
A drawing of a badger surrounded by mushrooms, and maybe a snake or two...
A comic page. It says (translated): "Then I heard a noise. I lifted my eyes, and I saw under the trees...A NIGHTMARISH MONSTER!" It shows an old man with a walking stick being spotted by a terrified possum, which is stuck in a garden fence.
I can't talk about birding without showing some birds, so this is one of my favourite house sparrow pictures. It shows an adult male house sparrow feeding a begging juvenile. I like it because of the way the sun is shining through that sparrow's beak and tongue.
A drawing of a skeleton riding a horse.
A catastrophically terrible drawing of a horse. (It has weird, wonky hooves, teeth like a shark and a giant head on a blobby body.)
A B&W photo of a gull yawning CAVERNOUSLY, showing its tongue.
A picture of a person standing with their face half-hidden by a curtain with a chrysanthemum-and-rose pattern. A lot of sparkly bead strings are hanging down behind the person, and a couple in front.
A screencap of an article about Murakami's writing process. It says, "when I'm in writing mode for a novel, I get up at 4AM and work for 5 to 6 hours. In the afternoon, I run for 10 kilometres or swim 1500 metres (or do both), then I read a bit and listen to some music. I go to bed at 9PM. I keep to this routine every day without variation. The repetition itself becomes the important thing; it's a form of mesmerism. I mesmerise myself to reach a deeper state of mind. But to hold such repetition for so long--six months to a year--requires a good amount of physical and mental strength. In that sense, writing a long novel is like survival training. Physical strength is as necessary as artistic sensitivity."

An adult gull flapping its wings for a youngster, perhaps showing it how to fly.

A colour photograph of a song sparrow, puffed up and looking at the camera head-on. It's sitting on a balcony railing with some plants underneath and behind it.
