Every Sperm Is Sacred- Monty Python

Today I am so excited, I think I turned 5 temporarily.

Thu, 23 Feb 2012 05:42:58 -0800

We are going to the zoo! I’ve mentioned this several times now and I’m not exactly sure why I’m so excited to go. Maybe it’s ‘cause Jerome and I are doing this by ourselves. We don’t have adventures on our own too often.
I am talking to tumblrers I was once to shy to chat with! If this isn’t you yet, don’t worry, I still <3 you.
Instead of losing followers over my Fly God Bikini, I gained two! (Hi, guys!)
EXCLAMATION POINTS!!!

Anyway…I’m bringing the real camera to the zoo. Does anyone want to see any specific animals? I know I’m not the best photographer, but I will do my best to fill requests. Question mark for answering?

Thursday Theme- This Tastes Terrible

Thu, 23 Feb 2012 04:25:00 -0800

A few summers ago, Jerome’s mom (M) and stepdad (S) came to visit.*

Somehow S had heard of a restaurant in Seattle that he decided he wanted to go to even though no one else did. Anchovies and Olives. M pointed out that she doesn’t eat sea food. I’m not a huge fan of most seafood either. Didn’t matter! We all ended up there anyway. I hoped they had some sort of chicken dish as most places do for the odd one out in the group.

When we got there, we were seated and given menus. The waiter was snooty from the very start. He asked for drink orders. S got a beer, M got a Diet Coke, I asked for iced tea and was told they don’t have ANY tea (he wasn’t nice about saying that either…like ordering tea was a personal insult.)…I ended up with a Diet Coke as well; and I forget what Jerome asked for originally, but he ended up with ‘lemonade’. …more on the drinks in a minute.

S is looking over the menu happily by this time. I was disappointed to find they had no chicken dish…or any other non-seafood dish. The only thing that looked remotely appetizing was the most expensive thing on the menu. Jerome discreetly agreed with me. (And he likes most seafood!).

I was nervously contemplating what to do. M announced that she refused to eat anything there. I was tempted to do the same, but I didn’t want to be rude. The only other times I’d refused to eat at restaurants were when I was anorexic still and for the most part, I didn’t know it was rude.

The drinks came. M and I were each given a glass with ice and a mini bottle of Diet Coke. The soda was flat. Before we could flag down the waiter again to tell him, we figured out that our tiny bottles were over a year past their use by dates. Jerome’s ‘lemonade’ had pretty much no sugar in it. S was happy with his beer.

When the waiter came back, it was also a personal insult that we complained about flat, old soda. He gave us new tiny bottles (They were also flat and old.) S ignored our obvious dislike and ordered like 15 raw oysters and some bread. (Bread, by the way, COSTS EXTRA!)

I can’t do raw oysters. I tried once. Nope. Just nope. Jerome had a few, though. Tried the bread. Stale.

While they were oystering I quietly decided to get a salad. It had endive and soft boiled egg and some sorta fish…I honestly forget now.** Jerome got the same thing. I forget what S got.

The salad was so bitter I had a hard time keeping a straight face. It was the dressing, I tried to keep away from it…but it was tossed in well. I think I gagged once or twice. Thank god I’ve learned how to do that without attracting attention. I got through what I could.

When we finally got out of there, Jerome voiced his opinion about the whole thing. I don’t remember what he said, it amounted to “That was awful!” M and I heartily agreed. S got pissed and wouldn’t talk to us for the rest of the trip.

Anchovies and Olives is supposed to be a really nice place to go. Most people give it glowing reviews! The few that I found that didn’t like it seemed to agree completely with me.

*Those are really their first initials, I’m not abbreviating mom and stepdad. That amused me, though.

**I looked up the menu to try to remind myself, but it’s changed. Surprisingly, more things look good now…but I will never go back.

P.S. Jerome came in in the middle of typing this, glanced at it and said, “Yep, that’s the best story for this theme. NEVER AGAIN!”

I had a dream that I pulled a big tray of pizzas out of my knee pit.

I don’t remember anything else about this dream.

Early Bird Special: This is probably the closest we’ll ever get to a Bob Ross sex tape — and that’s quite all right by me.

[wow.]

This amused me too much not to share.

So, we’re going to the zoo tomorrow. I was poking around the website and found this in the code of conduct. I’m both surprised and not that this needs to be in there.

I’m not exactly sure what this is. It’s some sort...

I’m not exactly sure what this is. It’s some sort of glass instillation from the Museum of Glass on a pedestrian bridge in Tacoma. Looks like a giant rock candy to me!

Starting out

Squishing the glass into shape.

Just about done!

Hot suit for handling finished piece.

Here’s a photoset from last week when Jerome and I went to the Museum of Glass.

These are high school students making a double necked vase. I already forgot the name of the troop! North Hill Players? Argh.

Anyway, it was neat to watch! Sorry the pictures aren’t better…we were at kind of an odd angle…also, they didn’t hold up the finished piece or anything, so we didn’t even get to see it.

Tacoma Museum of Glass Hot Shop, Tacoma, WA, February 16, 2012

It's 1am.

I am awake.

Jerome somehow managed to go to sleep after being up only since like 5.

Now I’m grumpy ‘cause I want to be setting my schedule right too.

*sigh*

Because I'm bored.

Your rainbow is shaded violet and green.

What is says about you: You are a creative person. You feel strong ties to nature and your mood changes with its cycles. You are patient and will keep trying to understand something until you’ve mastered it. Those around you admire your fresh outlook and vitality.

This is not insomnia.

Mon, 20 Feb 2012 06:44:04 -0800

This is my schedule being backwards. I am sleeping enough, so it’s not lack of sleep, or not being able to sleep…it’s sleeping in the morning and waking up in the afternoon.

This is because Jerome is on leave and he managed to move his schedule around like this. Uhhhhg.

It’s nearly 7am and I am getting ready for bed. Do not want.

Do you have an iOS device?

Mon, 20 Feb 2012 04:05:15 -0800

Do you like Pictionary?

You should download Draw Something from the App Store, then start a game with me! Name’s Wolfidy, just like everywhere else on the internet.

(If you want to play a different game, that’s fine too…I have most of the ‘with Friends’ games, Wordfeud, Words By Post…)

Things are-a changing here in my office, Tumblr!

I am mainly planning on pinning postcards to the board. Not sure where my pins went, though.

The walls will fill up more as I find things and as I can afford to buy things.

Finally, my giant fork and spoon have a home in one of the art nooks. The other nook still needs something. (Taken with picplz.)
