Let's take a walk

Took a bus ride actually. Planned to go to the Armory. Ended up hopping a bust to Harvard. Because the bus driver actually pulled over for us. He said, you're going to Harvard right? We weren't looking a gift bus in the mouth. Popped out head in a few places and nothing seemed to interesting. So we went to the Hong Kong.

Our nemesis must be defeated!

So after some lovely potion, we were off to see the Museum of Natural History in Harvard.

This is on the walk, not the museum.
The exterior of the museum is ugly.

This is pretty evil looking. It's called a Mastadon.
'The animal, not the greatest band ever,' Tyler corrects.

              

Hi, I'm a sloth. Want a hug?

Pretty sure Armadillo plating is going to be the next fashion statement

Um, hi, can I help you?            

Monkey Monkey Monkey Monkey!
Actually, these are apes.

Look at that honey badger. Honey badger dont give an eff!

That Lion thinks he's so awesome. Oooh, look at my mane, it's so pretty.
Oooh, I'm such a pretty lion.  He's right behind me, isnt he?

                       

Do you know the secret of these flowers?

 Everything you see here is made of glass!

This is only half of the museum! A lot more up there than we expected. More to go for next time - geodes and such. My amazing city orienteering dumped us out on Mass Ave and we walked up to Porter Square. Picked up a cab, and immediately succumbed to couch lock. 

New Phone and 53 Degrees in January!

Happy 2012! 53 degrees and blazing sun on Saturday, Jan. 7. Would you believe? Took a long walk around Somerville/Cambridge. Found a bar, of course, and then took a cab home. My feets hurt!

trying to get pic of birds. all I got was bird butt.

Birthday Weekend Part Deux - Oh my!

My lovely sister planned the second half of the weekend extraordinaire! We were supposed to go to a food demo? But Tyler and my train was late, so we missed that and headed over the Beehive with Jess and Shannon. Had a great time there - my favorite drink - the Persian Kitty. Positively delicious! Wonderful gifts (Thank you!) and then we headed over to 28 Degrees. I had my birthday headband just made and picked up from the porch by Jess! Thanks, again! People showed up to celebrate, we had food, drinks - frozen bellinis are amazing, btw!And , Surprise! There was a drag show! It was great! The place was packed. This is one of two amazing ladies at the show. The second did a running split slide! Wa-hoo! We ended up the night at Geoffrey's, where the dessert and shots and waitress were great - we told her about Brown Bird, I wonder if she went! 

I MIGHT show you more pictures of this night...but probably not!
