moby update

The Pequod spends some time around Java (east of Krakatoa), avoiding a Malay pirate melee by...not paying them any attention, apparently. The whole thing's a little vague. The crew are more interested in a large school of sperm whales which provides, first, good slaughterin', and then tweaks Ishmael's sense o'wonder when they come across a group of females and their calves. His description of the cute and mystical baby whales is somewhat marred when he tells us about how a harpooned whale mom will spew milk and blood into the water like a fire hydrant. Strange man.

don't i have people to handle this sort of thing?!?

Had to leave work for two hours to handle a crisis involving mother, my stockbroker*, and a man with a chainsaw. No problem!


*Yeah, it's news to me, too. His name is Todd. He's 14.

day of froth

Huh. Tornado warning and it's just turned 5:00.

I go now to my death. Bury my heart at the Sci-Fi Drive-In Diner.
