I Wasn’t Kidding About the Giant Squid

I really do love Giant Squid.  And now, I can watch one THAW on a webcam

Don’t think I won’t.  I will.

**Updated, because it’s so exciting.

I keep returning to the SquidCam today (it’s really called that!  Really!).  There are four cameras, and they show…a giant frozen squid.  You can’t really tell how giant until you see a person or two or three gently loosening icy tentacles in an effort to faciliate the big thaw.  I am not a Creatures of the Sea kind of person…AT ALL…and I couldn’t figure out why I was so obsessively checking on the giant squid defrost on the SquidCam (it’s just fun to say, try it!)…then I got it.

Subconsciously, I have been waiting for it to wake up and grab someone with a newly de-iced tentacle and swing the terrified and bewildered biologist around the room Alien/Doc Ock style. 

I’m starting to wonder if maybe I should be seeking a little more adventure in my daily life.

Here’s what I’m listening to…and you should be, too.

Wilco.

Here’s who else.

Uncle Tupelo.

Although…six of one sort of.



I feel like a drive-by not-a-blogger today.    Fortunately, I’ve got both feet on the floor and my hands on the wheel and the wind is taking my troubles away.
