Confused and delighted by Washington

Not to harp on about it, but there is a topless George Washington statue and Tim Burton couldn't even get Marky Mark to get his top off once in Planet of the Apes. WTF!? But hang on, I'm not sure what is more WTF? Because, um, I'm not sure if I'm the only person that thinks this is weird, but why is there a statue of George Washington wearing nothing but a sheet? Dude, that is some messed up shit! A SHEET! He has his wig on. You know, he was obviously in the process of getting dressed, and then he and his publicist and the sculptor all decided that it was a good idea to just stop right there and start sculpting. Mate, I am having a hard time dealing with this. How you gonna respect a dude in a sheet? I hope Obama's publicist hasn't seen this. And why is G.Wash so ripped anyway? I mean, dude is really ripped. Mmmmm. Ripped.

Your trip to WDC is pretty much blowing my mind actually. First topless, ripped George Washington! Then pink fairy armadillos! I am so glad I clicked your wiki link. 9-11cm!!!! That is so freaking cute. I feel like until I see one of those cuties in real life I won't be happy. Which is annoying, because after I saw Bob Dylan a couple of weeks ago I really thought to myself, 'I feel great, now I've seen all I need to see.'

And then the pink fairy armadillo comes along and throws everything out. I guess it was bound to happen.

What was best for me though was to see that even though you are holidaying with your mum, that time between siteseeing and dinner is still being spent with beer and a salty snack in a bag. I love that about holidays. Especially the choosing of the salty bag snack. I hope those spicy babies were delicious. But it just brings home what a weird place Washington is, because, um, 'red hot' isn't a flavour.

A day in DC

I'm in Washington DC.

The West Wing!
Abraham Lincoln!
The American Flag!

SUCH a famous place. We spent the day at the Smithsonian Museum and I learnt some things, like:

Soviet nuclear missiles are extremely scary!

The Apollo 11 lunar module is really small and does nothing to reverse my suspicions that the whole thing was a bunch of BS.

The pink fairy armadillo is completely adorable!

George Washington was ripped!

Julia Childs' kitchen was nice and really well stocked.

My Mum loves the smell of napalm in the morning.

Ha! Not really, but she does love big machines like planes and space ships. It's weird.

Right now, we are getting ready to go out for dinner, and doing this:

Pretty good, huh?
