Poshdeluxe

today’s post came to fruition due to two factors:

1) while i tried to print name tags for an upcoming work event, my printer decided to PLAY THE DEVIL’S GAMES WITH ME by repeatedly printing the same page over and over again for no other reason than PURE EVIL and then, sensing that i still maintained one final shred of sanity, decided to eat the name tag paper so that not only would i not have enough to actually produce the correct amount of tags but i would also have to spend an hour trying to dig a scrap of paper out of the printer’s FLESH BURNING region until my fingers were scorched and i felt like dropping the printer over the nearest overpass so i could destroy it before my entire soul was consumed by HATRED.

2) erik sent me an email that made me go SQUEE and forget all about my encounter with satan’s office toy.

therefore, i am simply copying the pictures from this email and adding my own comments to hopefully ward off any Influences From the Dark Lord that you may have experienced in yr own office space.

i’ve actually posted a picture of this animal as a newborn on the blog before, because yeah, it’s really gross. so that may spoil the surprise for some of you. regardless, it’s pretty amazing to watch something go from a freaky squishy alien thing to a super cute ball of cuddles!!!! hey thanks, mother nature!

here we go!

yeah, i know. weird. it’s nose is, like, huge. in fact, if you put wire-rimmed spectacles on it, it would look like a little old man! hee hee!

ok, yeah, gross. STOP BEING SO PINK AND EYE-LESS!

WHAT IS GOING ON HERE? i almost deleted this picture, but then i felt like that would be wrong. *everyone* goes through awkward periods growing up, and pretending we don’t will only make awkward people feel more isolated and alone.

ok, more fur is good but… aren’t you supposed to be getting cuter? eh?

we’re finally seeing a little bit of black patches, so i can sort of kind of tell that this isn’t, say, a salamander. or a newt.

HEY!!!! it’s a panda!!! a pink, balding panda, but still.

oooh!!! look! the panda is being all cuddley with that pillow! but check out those claws! rar!

little panda pants is sleepy time tea! i wonder if it is dreaming of bamboo? or orange chicken from panda express?

ok, is this an LOL panda or what? “yous queztion iz hurten mah brainzzz!” (feel free to leave yr own caption in the comments)

oh HAI!!! do you want to be tickled, baby panda? or do you want a tummy rub? “please 2 form a queue.”

panda, seriously, you might want to think about laying off the weed. ok, buddy?

panda hit the snooze button a few times this morning. and look at the little tail!!!!!!!
