On Friday Almanzo and I got to see the Sydney Aquarium. It is just so beyond nifty that to make that adjective even start to apply I'd have to yell it at decibels that would deafen people. Though in the shark tank, I had a major "What would BillyTee do?" moment as everyone else assumed that the small fish clinging to some of the sharks must have been baby sharks, even though they looked nothing like sharks and there were plaques declaring them to be remoras. It was almost as bad as the time at the Milwaukee museum when a father told his kids that manequin of Cleopatra was actually Salome and had them sing a song very loudly about her dancing and be slutty and getting a guy beheaded.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Oh lord yes. I had a moment like that in Zion National Park, with tourists confidently declaring the bighorn sheep on the opposite side of the gorge to be mountain goats.
Remoras are very cool, and can be found in the MGM hotel in Vegas. Minus their ride, which afforded a very clear view of their suction cup.
Thanks Trudy, Sue and Cashmere for the WW info. I think it is funny that I only watch WW
for josh and donna
and I missed their
only scene together.
Also, you can take your Dr. McDreamy Sheppard and Burke and asshole with heart-of-gold, but George is all mine. Miiiiine. He's so frelling adorable and I just want to put him in my pocket and take him home.
Yeah, especially given the recent Mark Ruffalo conversation in Movies -- they're kind of the same type.
I like George, but he lacks focus and intensity. I'm not good with the waffley. I like direction (perhaps because I feel lacking in it). He'd so be stuck in the best friend zone.
But many of the Ruffalo-esque characters are reasonably attractive.
I'd walk all over George, and he'd let me and that would be no good. Dr. McDreamy is still McDreamy, but I'm all crushed out at the moment so I was kinda meh on him last night.
Weird dream of the night: Dave Navarro and Carmen Elektra were going camping with me, a friend, and a random group of folks that I kinda know.
Finally watched last week's GG and the N/T premiere. Wow, could 2 shows be more different back to back?
Speaking of crushes, the new guy on Desperate Housewives had me thinking wrong thoughts about an underage character.
And then some.

Oh, yes, that too. Very much.
I'm all crushed out at the moment
I was so grateful that a part of Allyson's description of the premiere of "Serenity" got COMMed. It made me skim a bit in Natter to find more premiere stories (the original intention was to check on Dana, but I'm shallow), and I'm so glad I did - the phone conversation has to be one of the loveliest things ever.
ita, I saw him in EW and wholeheartedly agree.
So I listen to music on the radio on the way in to work in the morning.
Having seen Shrek an uncountable number of times last Christmas, courtesy of the nephew, I will forever associate "Accidentally In Love" with someone farting in a mudbath.
Which is probably not what the artist had in mind.
A cement truck managed to drive about half a mile, dumping cement behind it on my route in. Probably an even covering of 5 inches. I HATE those cement trucks. Whenever I get stuck behind one, I follow at a great distance because I've seem them spill so often. Hope the driver gets fired and the company fined, because that whole stretch of road is coated with clumps of hardened cement from previous mishaps.
