Small toy animals in unlikely places

Deep in the dark recesses of my mom’s house, I found an old shipment of little toys from my grandma. Then they sat around on my desk for a while — did I really need more knick-knacks strewn around my room? The answer is always (obviously) yes.

A small toy reindeer nibbling away at a potted plant.
A reindeer invaded my poor rose plant.

A small toy horse in the hand of an American Girl doll.
The giant Kirsten doll has taken to devouring farm animals.

A small toy bird perched on a plastic lizard.
My lizard thinks he’s an alligator.

A line of small toy geese stuck upside-down in a hole in my celing.

muse was too loud and the stage lights were too bright. the opening bands were skinny and bad. mister kyle and i decided the concert was best enjoyed from a table right outside the auditorium. i liked the three songs i knew. i like the wiltern. there was a nicely strange mix of people. i now have two muse stickers. the keyboard lit up interestingly. afterwards, the sidewalk was lively. we parked for free.

Hey, i once put a bunch of plastic/rubbery dinosaurses in my lizzard cage to theme it like jurassic park (popular movie at the time).
