Awwww!
Precious Maggots!
Speaking of which, saw Corpse Bride tonight with Buzzy & co. It was good fun, although it really felt more like a long short than a real movie. Nice to see a love-triangle where *both* the possible choices were people I'd actually want to be with. (I confess to a moment or two of "well, maybe he could just marry both of them", but there's probably a reason why it wouldn't work.)
We had Mexican beforehand, and Buzzy fired the paper wrapper off her drinking straw at me. (You tear off one end, pull the straw out just enough to fit the end in your mouth, and blow.) I fired mine just past her nose, just as the waiter came back... and he gave me another straw and encouraged me to take another shot. Later he came back with more straws for me. This is how you get a tip.
Before that, we went out to the San Diego Wild Animal sanctuary and sat there eating afternoon tea while watching the vultures circle. And saw male antelopes-of-some-description arguing with ownership of the herd while two of the females demonstrated that actually, they didn't really *need* the males. Then later, two male meercats got up to much the same... there really is a limit to how often one can say "it's all a social dominance thing" before it starts to lose a little of its convincingness.
Yesterday - this seems to be reverse-order blogging - we saw the King Tut exhibition, which was a little disappointing; not that they didn't have shiny stuff, but most of the actual King Tut bits were absent, replaced with filler from other people's tombs. They had his mace and a canopic jar, and a few minor bits, but no sarcophagus or anything like that.
Bedtime now, big day tomorrow - we're off to Hawaii!
