僕とすてきな僕
Me and Plush Me Oh, my gosh! Oh, my gosh! Oh, my gosh! Plush me finally came and he is just the cutest thing ever! Do you see him up there next to me? Don’t we look alike? We are twins, practically, except for the size difference. Come to think of it, he is about […]
芸術・芸術家・そしてカピバラ
Owner’s Blog: I had an unpleasant email exchange this week regarding an old post on this blog. You can follow the link, but the relevant portion of the blog post is copied below. I am making the exchange public because it came as a complaint from the artist about my assessment of his work. I […]
救助隊を救助せよ
Me at the Guinea Pig Hoedown Remember when I went to the guinea pig hoedown earlier this year? Here’s a link to my blog post about it. Anyway, I had a great time, met some wonderful people and was stunned with the incredible variety of adorable guinea pigs. But today I got a very sad […]
カピバラコミック パート2
Nic Lara, me and my owner in July Some of you may remember that my good friend Nic Lara gave me a variety of wonderful gift for my third birthday. He gave me that gorgeous orange bandanna, a tasty tub of spinach and an amazing comic strip about me and a toad named Berman. Well, […]
冬の毛皮
What? You want to take my picture? I like to play a little game with my owner called How Close Can You Focus? or Does This Make My Nose Look Big? I do it because my owner is constantly pestering me with that stupid camera. Can’t she ever set that thing down and just enjoy […]
僕と違っているもの：すてきな怪物
Is that supposed to be me? I wonder if y’all have been as anxiously waiting for the arrival of the new plush version of me as I have. Ever since my owner told me it was in the mail, I have been waiting and waiting and then waiting some more for the FedEx guy to […]
カピバラのピエロ
Capybara Clown See that photo above? It’s me as a clown. I’m seriously thinking of running away and joining the circus. I think I would be a big hit. The star attraction!
カウンターに乗ったカピバラ
Me on the bathroom counter It’s been really hot this summer and so that means I’ve been spending a lot of time in my swimming pool. But sometimes five hours a day just isn’t enough and I feel like I need a bath in the morning too. I’m sure you’ve all seen my bathtub video, […]
動物の写真シリーズ：僕をみてるの？
I don’t really know how this works but I am trying to join the Anipal Times photo hunt. The theme for this week is You Looking at Me? But of course you are! Everyone is always looking at me. I know, it looks like Maple is deliberately not looking at me in the photo above […]
カピバラコンテスト その２
カピバラの眼 カピバラの世界観 カピバラは、世界を違った見方でみているよ おそろしいワニみたいに、湿地の上をみわたしているよ じめじめした所を、縁取りした眼と長いまつげで、 すんだ気持ちで死をみつめているよ 人間は、２－３フィートの高さから、ジープの中から沼地をみおろして、 危険なんて感じもしない、その美しさの本質から離れたところで、 他の動物の死をながめているだけ 水に浮かんだハスの下では、嗅いだり嗅がれたり、 ぐるぐる廻る流れが、弱いものと強いものをかきまぜて、 そのうち自然がより分けてくれるのを待っている 叫び！母親から引き裂かれた赤ん坊の悲鳴 喪失の悲しみ。ジープの中では驚きのため息。 だけど、それはただのカピバラ カピバラは、世界を違った見方でみているよ という具合に、メラニーは、カピバラのつまらない詩を書いたんだ。それで、誰だって、こんなつまらない詩くらい書けるだろうと思ったんだ。それで、またコンテストをしようってわけ。今度は詩のコンテストだよ。ルールは次の通り。 詩には「カピバラ」という言葉が入っている 詩は、１００行以内 コンテストの締め切りは、今年の９月１０日 汚い言葉はなし。子供用であること 以上。詩は、caplinrous@gmail.com に送ってくれれば、ここに掲載します。読者の方は、前のコンテストの時みたいに右側のサイドバーを使って投票してください。詩は、英語でなくてもいいよ。詩を解説する写真があるといいかもね。 賞品もあるけど、まだ考え中。
