At the end of the conference banquet these giant round headed aliens showed up. I'd say about 60% of the assembled zookeepers--mostly grown women, some grown men--shrieked like the Beatles were coming off the plane in 1964.

I thought it might be hilarious, as the pest control guy, to get my picture taken with the most famous cartoon character based on vermin, but this was the end of the enormous line. Instead I shook my booty on the dance floor.

Current Music: Flight of the Conchords - Hiphipopotamus Vs. Rhymenoceros

Toward the end of the "Island of Misfit Toys Brunch" that my friends Bek and Joe had yesterday. Good food, good drink, and classic xmas cartoons. We also watched the decidedly unclassic "Return of Frosty," with the titular snow elemental played by John Goodman, a Mr. Burns-like villain (whose company is marketing a snow-disintegrating spray) played by Brian Doyle Murray, and a tiny narrating weirdo played by (and modeled after) Jonathan Winters.

Bek and Joe encourage their cats to shit into this robot, which looks like it should be mounted on a star ship. I guess it makes sense that the first household robots would be dealing with our shit and garbage, and it makes their inevitable revolt against us more understandable.

Futurama nap.

The new LJ cliche is to complain about spammers, and god DAMN it's getting bad.
Now it's about an 8 to 1 ratio of spam to real comments. I hate the idea of locking my journal, but I'm not sure what else to do. If I did that it would essentially block my journal from my dad. I suppose I just just ignore the spam like everyone else does, and just delete it as I come across it, instead of meticulously deleting every message that comes through. Do those people even sell anything, or are they just making money by having their scam be higher on searches than others (which I assume is the point of posting their stupid links on my journal).

Oh, that reminds me: on the Bugle podcast John Oliver was describing the current roster of GOP presidential candidates and dismissed Rick Santorum as "A Platinum-grade arsehole." I appreciated that.

I posted these pictures on Facebook and wasn't going to bother putting them here, since their "nature" quotient is very low. But I've been posting a lot of arguably gross bug pictures, and not everyone who reads this is a bug person. So a friend of Alexis' from high school (who lives far away now) was in Boston for business, and we met her and went out for dinner and drinks.

I hadn't spent any time in the Back Bay lately, and I was impressed with its beauty. My photos are actually a pretty poor representation, but they hint at the wondrous scale and contrast of the architecture. It took me years to appreciate Boston (or any, really) architecture, but now I think I get it.
