F2F 2: Is there anybody here that hasn't slept together?  

Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon: New Orleans! May 20-22, 2005!

love's a dream you enter though I shake and shake and shake you

The Mystic Aquarium has a penguin encounter program where you get to pet a penguin and listen to its heart with a stethoscope. It's a way of helping them acclimate to people and thus make the vet visits less stressful.

Penguins like to untie people's shoes. It's painfully cute.

move out and draw fire

(wags tail at thought of sooper-sekrit package from ND)

Lee, I think it's that weekend, in fact, but I'll have to check at work tomorrow. It's some conference during the week that I'm tacking a weekend onto.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Damn. Hopefully I will be able to see you during the week.

Thrive to spite them

I'd love to go to an aquarium with billytea. The zoo was fun but for me the best part was the invertebrate section and I think billytea skipped that for the monkeys.

I wasn't really fond of the insects but they had various sea life there and as I told DebetEsse and possibly a few other people, land animals just don't get me as happy and as excited as aquatic life.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

If anyone wants to pay for the food (dead broke), I'll cook it.

I'd contribute to a foodathon at Deb's. Maybe we can lure some LAistas up for a munchdown.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

t checks website So. African penguins. Yeah, that works for me. Yes, that was wholly redundant. Any penguin species would've worked for me.

t checks Mapblast The drive from Philly would be 4 hours, if all goes well. Not sure of the odds, there. I might be tempted to fly into Providence and drive from there.

When is this for again?

Nope. I quite happily passed on the great ape house for the invertebrates. The giant Pacific octopus was not at all giant, and kind of cute (and shy). It is true, the coolest invertebrates live in the sea, including octopus, mantis shrimp, pistol shrimp, giant crossdressing cuttlefish, and giant squid. And the big red tube worms that live by thermal vents. And the nudibranch, because it's so much fun saying nudibranch.

and giant squid.

Speaking of which, how did you like that New Yorker article?

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

Kristin, AFAIK any of those weekends would work for me, and I'm just a short drive away. Yay!
