monday whys

why does this blog thing never ever remember me...? even when i say 'remember me'...? over and over and over i check that box. sob, i feel so insignificant and instantly forgettable

why won't my garden grow? i am giving up on impatiens and simply throwing down wildflowers and walking away, completely carefree (she lied). the cashier in target said a trained monkey can grow wildflowers, they are so easy. and i KNOW i am smarter than a trained monkey, i know i am!

and why do i find museums so deathly boring? the natural history museum was by far, bar none, the worst museum ever. since the Getty. i know people love these places... but i cannot for the life of me see what's to love.... they are SO DULL, restrictive and schooltrippy... counting parquet tiles for 3 hours is NOT what i call a fun day out

on the other hand... the california science center was completely awesome! and completely free... but we of course gave a generous donation :) you could build an earthquake-proof house and shake it to bits in a pretend earthquake. they had en entire CSI exhibit complete with the little miniature sets that the 'i've got a pain in my sawdust' girlie built. you could pretend to be a corpse being examined by Grissom (now that's HOT!). and this museum even had a mcdonald's... chicken soup for the museum-hating parent's soul.

back with pics...... you know i got some of my very favorite miniature - Sara Sidle car crash, right?

there's only one thing more grim than museums... and that's museums with zero natural light

  1. i am not such a museum person either except for museums where you can actually TOUCH things! some (looong) time ago i liked watching the land before time but i am slightly scared of REAL looking dinosaurs, hehe. but the second museum shots look like so much fun. those bikes, that pipe and those miniature shots are great =)i need to find a kid to visit a kid's museum i guess!!

  5. Is it sad that I know that those bottom 4 are the miniature killer sets from CSI? ;)
