Wear Pink Day!

Happy V-day everyone!




Weekend Recap:
This Saturday, Herman took me out for my first Whale Watching experience. The boat ride was about 4 hours total - barely made it without getting seasick! (Took meds) It was really cool though, and even though the whales tried hard to elude us, we eventually spotted their steamy poofs of air towards the end of the trip - and we followed them on our boat like crazy (but stealthlike) paparazzi. The folks running the tour were very 'courteous' not to disrupt the Whale's journey - but they couldn't help the fact that there was at least one participant screaming "whooo hooo!!!" everytime they popped out of the water. (sorry, that was me.)

The next day I took Herman to Body World's 2 at the California Science Museum. It was interesting, and I didn't get as grossed out as I thought I would by seeing REAL 'plasticized' human bodies with their muscles, tendons, veins, organs, skin, nerves... in tact. Yeah, sure sounds pretty gross to me now. We saw an IMAX movie about the Human Body, just before... which I highly recommend. You get to follow this family around and see that as they do normal things, you then zoom in to see what their bodies are doing... and it just looks incredible! Ever see "Inner Space"? Sorta like that - but magnified on an IMAX screen - and a bit more scientific!
