Cheers!

Hey, hey, hey! It's WALRUS DAY EVE!

Carrie and I are starting the celebration NOW, with our official Walrus Day beverage: Campari & soda. Our plans for tomorrow? For the lady, buttermilk pancakes with homemade banana syrup and thick-cut bacon. For yours truly, ICE CREAM -- the best breakfast food EVER. Remember, it's the most important meal of the day, so don't forget to add hot fudge!

We've also chosen our official song for the day...


Following our ridiculous breakfast, Carrie and I can be seen lurking around the darkened halls of the Museum of Jurassic Technology, with an occasional break for Indian sweets at the nearby Indian grocer. Dinner is as yet undecided, though Carrie is championing for some French grub at my favorite place for such things, Café des Artistes.

I just asked Carrie if there's anything more we should say to you. She asked in return:

"Should we have a deep thought they should ponder this Walrus Day?"

(In which Job enjoys a field trip.)

Yesterday, the boyfriend decided to surprise me with a spontaneous field trip to The Museum of Jurassic Technology, located in Culver City. It was my first time there, even though I’d been pining to attend for over four years, and it was not a disappointment.

It’s hard to explain how lovable the Museum is to people who’ve never been, because one doesn’t want to spoil its mystique and novelty, and explaining its merit to those who have experienced it is hardly necessary, assuming, as I do, that everyone is charmed by it. (I suppose there could be some whimsy-less, emotional cripples who wouldn’t appreciate it, but I’d like to think they have no interest in either my blog or my company. Humph!)

If your idea of a dream house is The Haunted Mansion at Disneyland...


...if your idea of a fashion magazine is The Delineator...

...or if your shopping choice for bric-a-brac is Necromance on Melrose, then The Museum of Jurassic Technology is your idea of fun day out.
