plumtreeblossom: (pro-pluto)
Aquatic creatures great and small kept [livejournal.com profile] beowabbit and I entertained at the New England Aquarium yesterday. Neither of us had been there in years, so we saw it with more or less fresh eyes. The Harbor Seals greeted us out front. They have a wonderful dog-like appeal, and look ready to play fetch. We'd gotten a late start, so we strolled to the top of the 3-story tank, then wound through as many side exhibits as we had time for. Just now I was going to call it an "ark of creatures," but now that I think about it, hardly any of these creatures would have needed an ark to survive a flood. They would have just coasted through, perhaps laughing. Sorry, Noah.

We had dinner in Faneuil Hall, then went back to see the 3-D Lion movie at the Imax. It was an anthropomorphized look at lions in the wild, but entertaining nonetheless. We were sleepy critters ourselves by then and headed back to his place.

There's not enough light in my room for my webcam to show you the T-shirt [livejournal.com profile] beowabbit gave me, but it says "TEAM PLUTO." My darling boy knows me well! He also gave me a coffee maker, a rolling backpack that he doesn't use, a loaded MP3 player, plenty of love, and I am the luckiest girl in the world! It isn't even my birthday. :-)

Well, it's a bit too late in the day to take that nap I'd wanted. Onward to the glamourous part of the weekend: cat litter and laundry!

We schemed for our upcoming Vegas trip, celebrated the positive new direction of his medical treatment, and generally enjoyed just being together.

Sometimes, life proves itself grander than one had ever even hoped for.

There was a loose semi-circle of geeky-type young men around the high wall-mount TV in the landromat when I went in to switch my laundry from washer to dryer. Gladiator was on; one of the Colosseum battle scenes. Ignoring their laundry, they watched and watched, slack-jaw riveted, adjusting their fashionable rectangular glasses and moving closer to the small screen, if they could do so without notice. The Portuguese families doing Sunday night clothes wash went right on about their business. They could have knocked a rapt geek over with the flick of a Bounce fabric sheet, if they'd wanted.

I couldn't help but join in in the watching for a while. Both movie and laundromat.

Neighborhood love.
