Jul. 11th, 2004 06:52 pmI feel like all my posts lately have followed the pattern of my childhood journals. The "Yesterday, we went to..." kind of posts. I promise to post something different soon, but...
Ryan and I met Kim and her boyfriend Mario in Boston yesterday, and we went to the aquarium, where I often failed to resist the urge to squeal, took a million 5 second videos on my camera, and saw my long-lost giant sea turtle friend. You know the giant sea turtle if you've ever been to the Boston aquarium. When I was a kid, and he followed me up from the bottom of the tower tank, I felt that he would always remember me and wait for me to come back to see him (though I think "he" may actually be a "she"). Kim said she had a similar experience. :)
Kimberly is really fun to bring to an aquarium, because she gets very excited while also letting her inner biologist shine. I learned things I might not have learned without her around, and she made me think about things I forget to be curious about. Plus, she's just fun because she says words like "pulmonary" when describing certain jelly fish (and the one kind really did look like it was dragging a set of lungs around), and she insulted the blow fish a lot in an effort to get it to puff up for us. (It didn't work, even when she made derogatory comments about its momma. It kept its cool.)
(That picture is my desktop now. :))
Also, and on a completely unrelated note, I was going to write about the awesome candy store guy in Westerly, but [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com] already wrote about him. He was so cool though, and while he was waxing poetic on candy and business practices, one of the things he said was that we should tell all our friends to come and buy truffles. He will prove their awesomeness to you with a sample, but I can also provide testimony. I want to go spend obscene amounts of money on truffles, thanks to him and his samples. So like, if you're ever in Westerly, go to Candy Galore and More on Main Street. Buy truffles. And the prophecy will be fulfilled.
Now I am going to go eat blueberry pie. (Hey, [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com] - I'm with you on the pie thing. I could eat a pie a day, I swear. Come back to RI and you can eat pie with me anytime. :))
