Today is May 19. So much to talk about. Friday in Animal Crossing I got
the pineapple bed. Completely legit, too. It was for sale in the
store. It really is beautiful. The headboard is the leaves, the
bedskirt/dust ruffle is the brown outside, and the sheets are the light
yellow inside. Also on Friday I got 2 bras from Victoria's. The lady
that measured me and helped me was so nice. She treated me with a lot of
respect, which I appreciate. Even though lots of stuff they have at VS
doesn't even come in my size, the stuff that does is the good stuff
On Saturday, we finally made it to the Henry Doorly Zoo in Omaha. Among the
first things we saw were a farm (aka "Dairy World") and a carousel. In a
moment of "comedy gold" I complained that I didn't come all this way just
to see a farm and a damn carousel, since I could do that in good ol'
Story City. But on the farm there were cute giant rabbits, so I felt a
little better. Then we saw some otters swimming and having fun. One
really cool thing was a bridge over a lake full of carp/koi (I'm not sure
which, but they're the big fish in orange, black, and white). People
stood on the bridge and fed the fish popcorn. The fish swarmed and went
completely nuts. At time they were so exuberant in their pursuit of
popcorn, it looked like a fish mosh pit with fish body passing.
Throughout the course of the zoo we also saw peafowl (including a male
displaying his big plumage) prairie dogs, monkeys of various kinds,
elephants, rhinos, sea lions (shout-out to Ryann & Gehan's neice
Eleanor), giraffes, penguins (indoor and outdoor) sharks,
jellyfish, hippos, tapirs, snakes, bears (polar, grizzly, and sun)
tigers, leopards, lions, and much more. The whole zoo was so amazing!
My only complaint is bad parents who let their kids throw food/objects at
animals. Boo! But on the plus side there were many mixed race couples
and some really cute biracial kids. It seems like ppl in Omaha are
pretty openminded about race issues and that makes me happy since it's
not really like that here. Oh yeah and at the end of the day we
were trying to find the bathroom and the closest one was in Dairy
World. So we went back there, and then I wanted to say goodbye
to the rabbits. When I got to their barn I saw some small baby
goats and people standing around...apparently a mama goat had
just given birth to 3 babies a couple hours before! So that was
kinda neat.
On
Sunday we went to The Matrix Reloaded. I liked it, and I was
entertained, but that doesn't mean I didn't find tons of stuff to make
fun of. Such as the big dance scene. It's like "How the Grinch Stole
the Rave," where the Grinch tries to stop ravers by taking away their
colors, but they dance anyway ("They dance without glowsticks! They dance
without big pants! They dance without pacifiers and bracelets and
hats!") And those twin badguys....the writers were like "I want evil
twins like
Milli
Vanilli" and the other was like "No, I want evil twins
like Matthew and Gunnar Nelson" so
they compromised by having evil twins
with long WHITE dreads.
But like I say, I did enjoy the movie.
The seXX0r was nice, and of course you can't go wrong with
AUGUSTUS HILL
as your operator. Plus the car chase scene was kewl since it was filmed
in Alameda,
CA.
Then when we got home from Omaha, one of Chris's neighbors started
hassling us so I called the cops on her. Because in situations like that
whether it's sexual harassment, bullying, solicitors, you're not going to
get anywhere unless you keep records of everything that happens.
Hopefully she'll leave us alone, but if not at least we've gone through
the proper channels about it. |
