Colon Blow and you, in the morning........

Took a half day on thursday and went up to downtown LA. (Mind you, I drove into Downtown, which was a mistake. Should have parked near a light rail or metrolink station and taken the red line to the civic centre).

The reason for this was something I read on the Roadside America website, which was the Southern California stop of the Colossal Colon, a 40 foot replica of a human colon you can crawl though. At various points in the Colossal Colon, you can see various diseases of the colon, ranging from polyups and the like to full-blown colon cancer.

Also met the creator of the Colossal Colon, Molly McMaster, who is a survivor of colon cancer and travels with her creation around the US. (side note: Molly McMaster is also the niece of one of my favourite SF/F authors, Lois McMaster Bujold)

I should have brought my camera. Was interesting, in a slightly demented sort of way

New HP book arrived via Amazon last saturday. Still haven't read it. And then Target made a mistake and placed a copy in my bag, and the manager didn't want to accept it back because they had already counted it as lost. Weirdness. End result, I now have two copies, and Still don't have time to read it.

Observation

So, I'm watching Wiggle Bay with my daughter, and watching the scene when Captain Feathersworddives into the ocean, and thinking to myself: "You know, that character was already questionable, so why should I be surprised that he has a neoprene rubber pirate suit and jacket."

"The Friendly Pirate"??? More and more like the Kinky Pirate......
