15 things I observed on my last trip to the Field Museum

Twas the last free day! Someone saying "I don't have time for evoltuion" One person chewing another person's hair. They did seem to know each other, but still A model of Selam (the earliest child) A bag for sale that features the great beards of science Immense event set up Main lights going off a few times in a kind of concerning way An opalized plesiosaur vertebra An exhibit about an African American taxidermist, Carl Cotton, who greatly affected the art A temporary exhibit in progress Some objects that had been on display in the Native North American hall, but that are going to be put back in the collection A seating area in the main gift store (an excellent addition in my opinion) Different colored lights in the hanging gardens Someone carrying an animal skull around A photo of the woman who discovered Sue (also named Sue) A family posing in the crook of a giant pterosaur (Prompt by me)

Thoughts on the premiere of RuPaul's Drag Race season 12

NYC over-represents again Pirate queen! This clown look is weird I really hate the name Crystal Methy'd Those contacts are a lot, Ru Dual premieres is smart.

3 limericks

A new poem style to try! There once was a girl from Chicago who wanted to learn how to bongo. But she was quite bad and her neighbors got mad and so she left long ago. I once had a terrible itch that nagged so much I did twitch. So I began to scratch until my nail did catch and I didn't know which problem to fix. Deep in a swamp was a gator who wanted to be something greater. And so she did swim in a river so dim that soon she need a locator. (Prompt by me) Photo source

Thoughts on the Bachelor's fantasy suites episode

Having the women live together this week was a CHOICE. This talk is edited well. The lack of music makes it feel more intense. Peter, it's pretty weird to say you're in love with woman and falling in love with another but still plan on sleeping with 3 people. Peter, no. You're not in love with all 3. Are they actually excited to see each other? This is so weird. Honestly I expect better than jetskis for a fantasy suite date. Peter, you mean you have a physical connection. And there is the shot we've been waiting all season for. We don't see them wake up together? THIS. IS. WEIRD. I still don't get why Peter likes Victoria So did Chase Rice never ask you how you were feeling? Do you all have fun together? "It's just the two of us," says the man on a hugely popular TV show. Wow Peter is actually admitting that he needs drama. I wonder if Chris Harrison actually writes these notes. Okay then room is nice, but they're acting like ...

Re-writing "The Discontented Frogs"

One night a family of frogs was visited by their dear owl friend who had a problem she hoped they could mend. "I'm having a party tomorrow night, but the invitations I forgot to send!" An offer of inviting others in the morning the frog family did extend. When the sun began to rise high, the frog family set out to invite all they came by. They hoped other animals would not be too shy and non would give them a side eye. The frog family tried to invite a nearby cow but they soon realized that they did not know how to get the attention of her to say ciao. And soon they had to dodge her hooves lest they trample their brow. Next the frog family swam to a nearby pond, but with Mama frog a big fish did try to abscond. Even though within them fear had spawned, they still tried to get the fish to their invitation respond. Next the family of frogs called to a crane, b...

Re-writing "Dame Trot and Her Comical Cat"

A long time ago there was a witch, who had a dog, but considered a switch. While out for the day they found a cat, a stray. With a look they decided that to her they'd hitch. Back in their humble abode, the witch went into a welcoming mode. To her furry pals she gave some milk. And with a wave, some of her magic she bestowed. As the sun went down and their hearth warmed the witch's furry friends transformed. They got rather big and started a jig. And to their hearts' delight they performed. But when the next day the sun arose, the cat and dog found that not all of their changes were pros. The witch asked for their help and in protest they gave a yelp, but in seeing her sadness, chores they chose. The witch went off shopping in town, then the pals stopped working and sewed a gown. The dog played a horse but found the gown quite coarse and so he...
