Art Crawl!!!

Exerting my very dilletantish tennis fan-girlism this morning and just finished watching the men's final of the French Open. Exciting match.

Also, that Nadal kid has pretty arms.

But not just any flower -- a titan arum, or corpse flower, the stinkiest flower on earth (and the largest).

I think they need some kind of stench-ometer to go with the webcam. Perhaps a series of increasingly disgusted facial reactions to the scent.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Perhaps a series of increasingly disgusted facial reactions to the scent.

We were just saying that the gently waving greenery was all very nice, but our webcam-viewing day would be made by someone innocently wandering by, and then running offscreen to hurl.

Pretty sure they invented one of those on Futurama last week.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

There are female ginko trees on my block. I need no stink-o-cam.

Oh man! When I lived in DC, there lined my street and pretty much my entire walk to school. I can remember not really knowing about them until I stepped on a piece of the fruit. When I got to class, I smelled so bad I had to leave after 10 minutes.

We called them Stinky Fruit Trees until we learned what they were. Ugh.

When I lived in Malaysia, there was a shop selling durian fruit a street over. Speaking of stinky fruit trees.

Our wings are not tired.

It was an exciting match. My kids are convinced I watch all sporting events for the arms (and legs). I'm not convinced they're wrong. Tomorrow night the Heat, Alonzo, mmmm.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Durian fruit tastes good, though, doesn't it? (I've never had it.)

Ooo! Vomit custard fruit!

My stomach is curdling at the very thought.
