Whale: The Younger Years

When the whale was young, far before he called himself the whale or even talked in third person, he was introduced to his compatriot the sea lion. For those who do not know 'za vhale', he is officially a member of Balaena mysticetus or Bow Head Whale. As such he often cruises around in the arctic chillen with the other sea mammals like seal, walri etc. Now, the sea lion was a strong little fellow who the whale adored. Unfortunately after years of mis-adventure they were separated by the 'real world'. No more looking for krill around the arctic circle or picking up hot oceanic vixens. Well the day may finally come when they get to reunite to terrorize the seas. That's right...He's coming to Fort Collins! The one and Only Sea Lion...Dane... Anyways after much excitement and face-melting it seems as though the D might be moving to Fort Collins and kicken it with the whale. "Look on [our doings] ye mighty, and despair" Despite that brief interlude, the whale is rastleing with this squid of a paper and finished his PP (Power point for those not in the know...weirdos) Tomorrow we shall see if it holds any water. (whale joke for those still not in the know...)

oh, michael macdonald.

I just got the Doobie Brothers. Living on a Fault Line. It was playing in La Familia while I was getting inked.

And it is Awesome!

When I play it I just think of dad sashaying around the living room. I tell this to Eric every time, and he says he'd rather not think of my dad sashaying anywhere. I may have in fact prejudiced him against the fine Doobie Brothers. Whoops.

I have a theory about Pocky

I revise my previous theory about Dennis being secretly a cat. Rather, Pocky is secretly a dog. The evidence:
1)She ate sourdough bread.
2)She ate broccoli.
3)She ate banana.
4)She ate popcorn.
5)She drinks out of the toilet.
6)She smells the drain after I take a shower.
7)She licks out your eye boogers for you.
8)She growls.

Exhibit A:



Caught!

picture time!

In which we show you some skin.





Eric did not get a new tattoo, he just gave himself a rash from his own shaved head.

Insomnia or Butterflies

The whale is still awake at 1am on a sunday night. The whale starts a new lab tomorrow. The best thing for butterflies in a whale's tummy is grinding until some undefined point at which time he drinks a cup of over sweetened artificial lemonade and passes out from a video-game induced sugar coma.
Also, The Legion now has Vent which escalates my nerdiness and my game play experience. Whether that is a good or bad thing it remains to be seen but at least I don't have to actually socialize with people.
Also my head is now a fuzzy peach like a whale's should be. Streamlined like a torpedo. This is all slang for shaved. I look like a cancer patient, pedophile, racist, slightly militant moby but at least it feels nice and my hats are now Velcro-ed to my head.
That's all...I think I hear my sea-Buns scuffling so it's off to cuddle-topia where I am the snuggle king and all my soft-little servants obey my every whim...

I don't want to know what he's thinking about.

Chubbo's feeling real comfortable with us now. The lights are dim to keep him in the mood.

That's the pillow I got for riding on the airplane, to go around the neck. It's since turned into the "hemorrhoid pillow" since there's nothing else to do with it but sit on it. I mean, we're not going to pretend to be riding on an airplane while we're sitting on the sofa. We'll pretend to be uncomfortable instead.

For Wiley

We found this great wine, you should try it. It's right up your alley. (Don't say "up your alley".)

That's giant 47 pound rooster wine right there. Perfect for hens like you!

It's hard to believe that Eric and I still call each other hens. Maybe we'll both come to Annapolis and get a refreshing new insult to carry back to Colorado.

Best Crossword Ever!



The clue for 6-across was "Wiley". And the clue for 7-down was "small needle case"!
Eric and I do the crossword and the Suduky every day. We usually get A's, Eric sometimes gives himself an A-.

If you have dentures....talk to the crab

We are eating Hutspot... A dish that needs no chewing... I bet pelicans would love it with fish... or CRAB. Anyway, lab switch is coming up which means the whale has to do something with his life and not achieve level 50 in Aion but thats ok. This world is at least 1/6 as cool as fake world. Also I Thanksgiving is coming up which means stress for all but thankfully (Get it...) Margaret has given me a job to do in my fathers shop so I can avoid the tirades of my mother... shes like an older somewhat crazy blue whale.

I have a theory about Dennis

Remember Dennis, Mark's dog? I think he's not actually a dog. He is a cat. Think about it. You know I'm right.

annie had it right with the tyrannosaurus tattoo

I went to Denver yesterday to pick Eric up and watched while he and his friend Chris made concrete and poured it in post-holes they had previously dug. They were at Chris' parents' house. It was a very manly time, with many jokes about sticking things in holes. I only held the wheelbarrow.

Then we went to the natural history museum. They have an exhibit of stuffed mammals. The walrus is enormous but then so is the sea lion. The sea lion is quite tough but the walrus has tusks. The polar bears were eating little seals, so I guess they would beat all comers in a fight.

We looked at dinosaurs, and this museum has the same fossil of the giant fish with a little fish inside it! And whale skeletons! There were skeletons of two fighting meat-eating dinosaurs, and one had another dinosaur's tail in its mouth. But it was a skeleton of a tail. The skeleton turtle had a really tiny neck sticking out of its shell. They were all amazing. And, you could watch the scientists working in the fossil lab, making casts of real bones and then cleaning them up.

Also we saw the gems and minerals exhibit. There are many kinds that grow as little tiny hairs, or spiky cubes. And different versions of the same mineral that are different colors. I found it fascinating but it's hard to convey how stones in boxes could be cool.

And finally we went to the planetarium and saw a movie about black holes. It was extremely trippy because we went into and out of the black hole at the center of the milky way, and then through a hypothetical wormhole. There were flames and groovy colors.

Anyway the dinosaurs were my favorite, and now I want a dinosaur tattoo too.

PS Briefly we had an experiment wherein we spoke in sentences of only two words. It was going well until I had to find parking. We were succinct.

My life is great!

We just got home today, started listening to Thomas Dolby, and investigating my geranium under the microscope. Ze Vhale cut himself while acquiring razor blades to dissect the geranium with, so we're also looking at blood. Right now he's adjusting the Kohler illumination.
We came home after finishing the crossword puzzle together, and he also did the sudoku. Before that we were in RNA Biology, learning about RNA interference.
Yesterday we had band practice at his house, I can switch so quickly now between C and G! And even sing while I'm doing it. Also I can play the snare with brushes.
On one of the snow days last week I found the 7-up series on Netflix. Now he keeps saying that he reads the observer And the times, etc. etc. I did discover that eating greens does not play a significant role At All in the 7-up, and only very briefly appears in 7+7. One day he'll pick up on that too and all will be complete.
He just said he's disappointed in the microscope because it doesn't have phase contrast. Damn. Apparently his blood isn't that exciting without it.
Finally, he said today that he wanted his wedding to center around grape soda and swedish fish, and I talked him in to including meat on a stick in that list. Can't wait.
