My father was making some pasta, and needed some basil. He knew there was a basil plant somewhere in the house. He went online, found a picture of basil, and picked a plant that seemed close. He ended up with Heliotrope in his pasta. This isn't basil either.

I can't tell if these are the feet or the tail of the cormorant. I wanted to get a picture of the leap, but ended up with 3 different splash pictures instead.

Once again, tempted by Nehru collars. I hate regular collars. They're vestigial tie-holders, and ties are pointless and ugly. If the collar doesn't turn up and keep the neck warm, it has no function. Needless to say, Lapels also bother me unless they button up. But the main driver here is that I'm sick of shirts where either the collar or the sleeves don't fit. I should investigate the local short shop first, before resigning myself to buying $50 dollar shirts of any kind online, but something tells me they don't believe in business casual; they're mostly in the business of selling preppy youth conservative suits. It's another reason to take the turnpike without stopping for tolls! I am easily amused.

ECHO is short for Echocardiogram, but it's capitalized. What's the plural, ECHOs or ECHOes?

Went to the Franklin Park Zoo. A tiny zoo, only took 2 hours. Highlight was, as always, the prairie dogs, whose mound had collapsed from all the rain. Muddy digging prairie dogs. Also, 3 redtails came by, so we got to see a prarie dog air-raid drill. Also, Kangaroos are patently absurd. Fairly good bird house as well. Not the Toledo Zoo by any means. Want to go to the Bronx Zoo. Haven't been since I was 10. Then went to the fish-store (via the Turnpike... Whee! no more stopping at toll booths!) And got 4 more Rasboras. A school of 10 fish is just past the point where you can take it all in at once. Also some impulse-buy plants. Will to look them up now. I can't imagine either of them will live, with the Vallis growing the way it does, but we'll see.

Playing We Love Katamari. The biggest thing is that you can now see through objects that get between the camera and the Katamari. This is good. Mostly more or less of the same. Also, they've worked harder at giving you a reason to keep playing after you finish. I'm currently hunting cousins. There are more cousins now. The King of the Cosmos, well, I think he's slightly less awesome this time around. Fame gone to his head. More coherent. Playing Katamari Damacy for too long does strange things. Walking around Boston on Sunday on our biannual tea expedition, I kept looking for what to roll up next, and how much nicer the city would look afterwards. Also, swollen thumbs.
For the uninitiated, Katamari Damacy is a PS2 game. You roll a ball around. Things stick to it, and it gets bigger. It is a New Idea. It is excessively Kawaii. One day I need to make a taxonomy of video games. It would be it's own Family, sharing characterisics with the Crazy Taxi/Midtown Madness family of free-driving games, and the Pokemon-lead Japanese Collecting Games. In the Coin Op Kingdom.
