So, how is everyone?

I'm good and enjoying a week off work. Yay! I went to the British Museum yesterday to see the Elgin Marbles. They are truly magnificent, unbelievable, and my friend and I only had minor hysterics when in one of the side galleries I read one of the plaques twice without taking it in and promptly said out loud the only word I had caught. "Ear-flaps?" My voice carried all the way down the gallery and it was rather embarrassing. Funny, though. You had to be there, I guess.

We also dropped into the Natural History museum to see the Wildlife Photographer of the Year exhibition which was absolutely breathtaking. There were only a couple of pieces that I didn't like because they were either too abstract or because I was freaked out by the icky insect. Everything else was beautiful. Do click the link above and have a gander at the online gallery. You'll be very impressed even though you don't get the same effect as the big displayed prints. My fav was Still Life and Bear. I also chuckled for quite some time at Rival Kings (Penguin Slap Fight)and Rockhopper Rush-hour (Penguin Aerobics) Hee!

We also visited Forbidden Planet and I practically had to drag myself out again. Boy, they were well stocked out! I wanted the six inch Dick Nightwing, Wonderwoman!Barbie, Batman money box, replica Green Lantern Battery, 12 inch Flash, singing Gizmo, Flash t-shirt, replica Draco Malfoy wand, replica all the other wands, too, 12 inch Lorne, Meep. I resisted.

But if they'd had a 12 inch Dick, I would have been on it in a second.

I did buy something though... (whoops)

Everyone, say hello to the newest member of my Btvs/Ats collection:

Feigenbaum!

Fred's bunny!!! AUW!!






I had to have him even though he cost an arm and a leg and he doesn't really look like the actual prop at all. Still...Feigenbaum...Fred...~sniffle~ I needed it.

BUNNY!

Who could resist a 12 inch Dick?? Comes in his own box.

A girl can dream.

He's the cutest bunny ever!!

Aww, Fred. *sniffles*

That's so weird about the Elgin Marbles...one of the authors whose citations I'm analyzing for the legal-research-project-from-hell that you may have read about in my journal has an article about them! Glad they're awesome. :-)

*hugs*

Yeah, it was nice to get away for a little while and just mooch about.

Sounds like a great day, hon! The weather's been good, too. No need for ear-flaps. *g*

The pics look terrific. Penguins! Heeee

Brave you for resisting the Dick but Feigenbaum had to be bought! Awwwwwwwww.

[suki-blue.livejournal.com]

Nope, no ear-flaps needed at all! Not once!

There were some truly amazing pictures. You could really see the personalities of some of the animals. I wonder if more people could see stuff like that, would there be less cruelty to animals?

I love my Feigenbaum! I couldn't leave him on the shelf. He would have been lonely...with all the other Feigenbaums. ~g~

a singing gizmo? *wants* I can hear him, right now, crooning softly. I luff him. *g*

Sounds like you had oodles of fun! I have the week off too, with Mommie Dearest staying with me. We're gorging on dled tv. :D

[suki-blue.livejournal.com]

Oh, he was lovely! I *really* wanted him. Meeeeeeeep.

Sounds like you're gonna have a great week! Nothing beats gorging on d/l TV, except maybe gorging on fic. Hee!
