Yeah, so...despite what people might think, whatever preconceived ideas might have been nurtured by the sort of erotica I write, it is only very rarely that I have sex dreams. That is, dreams with sexual content, much less dreams wherein I actually get any. This morning, however, I had what can only be described as a Buffy slash fic dream. Me and ( Read more... )

I just zoned out for like an hour looking at these. They are almost better than being there because noone can stare at you funny or kick you and tell you to get out of the way. It is very hard not to imagine yourself inside the jaws of that albertosaurus or what it would be like to be next to one of any of those. I also loved the giant squid. I am completely usure what turkish delight is though and wondering if it is possible to prepay for a predetermined amount of sirenia digest or weather it's best to just just run it the regular way.

Loukoum. A confection. Look here. Also, it's a means sometimes employed by White Witches to lure greedy children into sleighs....

Works either way. Up to you (and thanks).

Nor did I. For a long time. Then, in 2002, I suddenly developed a sweet tooth (to my dentist's horror).

I have to get out there one of these days. I've wanted to visit the Peabody since I was four: the closest I've come is by putting up a copy of The Age of Reptiles in my cube at work. (My boss is a Fine Arts major, and he'd never heard of Zallinger before I came to work here. Now he's a serious enthusiast, but I think he's more fond of John Sibbick.)

Oh, and I apologize for not getting you the dodo when I had the chance: I thought you'd want the platypus more. On the other side, just to let you know, Safari now has its Amargasaurus figures out, and they're as good as the old Battat ones from a decade ago. It's about time the dicraeosaurs got a bit of respect.

And since you know that I'm going to ask, what sorts of carnivores were in the living plant display?

I recall Venus flytraps, pitcher plants, and sundews.

Sweet. Yeah...I have the Battat Amargasaurus.

Oh, and I apologize for not getting you the dodo when I had the chance: I thought you'd want the platypus more.

Pfft. You got we the platypus, and now I have a dodo. Oh, and the BMNH Dimetrodon, that was a lifer.

Spooky claims that I cannot hold her responsible for things she did in my dreams. I mean, to her credit, in her defence, it was my dream. But...I'm suspicious.

Whenever anyone tells me I've been in their dreams, I ask about what I'm up to. I like to keep abreast of my dream rep.

I fear Spooky's just dropped a notch with me. Ahem.

That sounds like a splendid day. Plus dreamtime lycanthropy. I used to visit the Grove Street Cemetery on a regular basis, but I think all my photographs are, you know, on film. I haven't been to the museum since 2006.

Er...me and the Torosaurus sculpture (2005) outside the Peabody.

If I have "totem animals," I suppose they are the platypus and dodo.

I think that very appropriate. Just don't go extinct.

Yeah. If only I got more of that. With Alyson Hannigan....

I fear the resolution on our digital is too low for print. But, yeah. We're talking about going back and restaging the same shot.

Just don't go extinct.

I am trying....

I request in on that trip. I no longer have a student ID, but the Peabody Museum is part of the same consortium as the Boston Museum of Science, to which I have a membership.

And a very cool cemetary entrance, too.

Perhaps the coolest I have ever seen.
