And we frolicked about in our summer skin

[makeste]

Things I did over the weekend:

• Read Where the Wild Things Are to my three-year-old sister.
  
• Invited people over to watch a movie which somehow ended up being Transformers.
  
• Spent 20 minutes immediately following the film urgently explaining to one friend why, regardless of whether or not she liked the first one, she must never, ever see the sequel because it is the antithesis of all that is good and pure.
  
• Marathoned about eight episodes of Star Trek: Deep Space 9 with my other sister (we've been working our way through it for the past few weeks, and are currently up to season 4, which was cause for much rejoicing since that's when Worf finally joined the cast).
  
• Went to the New York Aquarium with my dad, stepmom, sisters, and youngest brother.
  
• Saw a giant octopus that terrified me to my very soul (waughhh why would a loving God make these??).
  
• Ate seafood while in an aquarium (OMG HOW PERVERSE).
  
• Saw sharks killin' stuff at feeding time.
  
• Thought of Squalo.
  
• Chuckled heartily to self.
  
• Had a good, long debate with my not-three-year-old sister over which kind of fish Dory was (and I was fucking right, it was a regal blue tang, take that, Jeanette. ANY IDIOT COULD SEE IT WASN'T A PURPLE TANG).
  
• Against my better judgment, held a horseshoe crab but survived.
  
• Went to Coney Island and rode the ferris wheel.
  
• Experienced a moment of overwhelming pride watching my three-year-old sister ride her very first roller coaster--by herself, in the very front car. BAWWWW you guys she's fucking fearless I love her so much. ;_;
  
• Against my better judgment, petted a snake some random guy just happened to be carrying around. IT WAS COOL.
  
• Watched as some old guy on the pier caught a spider crab, and some other guy walked over and picked it up and proceeded to give everyone in the vicinity an educational speech about how our friends the spider crabs are "the garbage men of the sea" and should be treated with respect, before tossing the little guy back over the side and into the ocean.
  
• Ate pizza.
  
• Wondered how the hell summer came and went so fast.

Things I did not do over the weekend:

• Make a proper post about KHR 254.

That last will be rectified before too long, but first I'm going to watch a bit more DS9, because WORF!!1
