Wednesday, May 27, 2009: A Full Day, Finally

I finally got out of the house today, and it was great.

Today I went to a children's museum with my godson, his mom, the boy she nannies for, and my mom. For those of you who may not be familiar with the concept of a children's museum, it's not really a museum in the traditional sense. It would be better described as a building full of imagination exercises and giant puzzles in disguise. They teach children about anything from basic colors to how different things are put together. They typically feature a giant house that is "under construction," which children can attach siding, shingles, and things of the like to. Often times there are face painting stations, something to do with cars, someplace to make all sorts of art projects, a waterworks station, and interestingly enough, play supermarkets. Yeah. Full of plastic fruit, boxes of cereal, bread, shopping carts, even checkout stations with fake money. It's really cool stuff, and it was a lot of fun.

After the museum, we went to Steak N' Shake. I was rather ravenous, being that I had eaten nothing besides a bowl of cereal that day. I consumed the following: Chicken strips, french fries, a mini burger, baked beans, a glass of Sprite, and a scoop of ice cream with two chocolate chip cookies, hot fudge, whipped cream, and a cherry. I also nibbled on some fruit. Yeah, it's a lot of food. I usually don't eat that much, I promise.

My dog Jake had a good thorough grooming today. He is very fluffy at the moment, and has had a nice trim. He's a snazzy looking guy.

Yahtzee released a new Zero Punctuation review today, and I think it is one of his funniest yet. If you are involved with video games at all, you should be watching this guy. Warning: Very bad language.

And that'll be all.

Thing I like about the past 24 hours: Seeing my godson is always a big plus.
Thing I dislike about the past 24 hours: I didn't get much practical work done today.
Song addiction of the day: "Hey There Delilah" by The Plain White T's. What I love about the song is that finally, finally, there's a ballad that I really love to sing that also transfers well to a bass octave. Oh happy day.
Number of caffeinated beverages in the past 24 hours: 0.
