40cakesThis weekend was our one-year anniversary. I have approximately a bajillion pictures from the zoo (shocker: I like animals and cute things).
We exchanged gifts on Friday afternoon, and Kirk was really happy with the squid and the katamari. YAY! Sadly, we brought neither item to the zoo, as wacky shenanigans could've ensued as we tried to roll up bears and lemurs. And children. More on the fucking children. He liked his other presents, too, which makes me happy (a pile of video games and some CDs, and NRA Varmint Hunter for the PC).
My pile was full of wonderful and awesome and cute things. Kirk got me the latest Harvest Moon (which is moving a bit slow because I do not yet have adorable animals! I want adorable animals, dammit!), and AND, promotional Harvest Moon dolls that he hunted down ferociously on eBay (a sheep from the latest game and a cow from the way back PS2 game! WHOA!). And there was the latest MST3K boxed set which includes "The Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living and Became Horrible Mixed-Up Zombies", and two really nice Batman figurines (inaction figures, if you will) of Catwoman and Harley Quinn.
Saturday we went to the Bronx Zoo. There are many pictures, which are at home. Hopefully I won't overload Flickr (they're not all post-worthy, but they're well over 20MB). There were many rotten, loud, pushy children. I'm not one of those childfree types who hates all kids, trust me. But I am one of those childfree types who hates mini-assholes and douchebags-in-training. The Mouse House was pretty much ruined - there are signs upon entering that inform you that rodents are shy, so please keep voices low and use no flashes. Instead, there were a bunch of kids pounding on the glass and shrieking and running around. And few adults who didn't give two shits. I wonder if the zoo has grown-up only days. That would be awesome.
We went to Forbidden Planet and Kirk picked up a bunch of comics, and bought me the latest issue of Doctor Who magazine (IT HAS THE BLACK DALEKS ON IT! THEY'RE PRETTY!). He also had his FIRST JAMBA JUICE. I should've taken a picture to commemorate the event.
MC Chris was pretty cool. Two of the improv guys did an opening act as Cracked Out (warning: a million and one irritating things await you at their MySpace profile), then Chris did a couple songs, then he did a Howard with the rest of the guys. A girl in front of us had a fan tattoo and had been there every night he did a show. Man. That's as bad as going to another country to see him. Almost.
Sunday we stayed in while I played a million hours of Harvest Moon, and we watched The Sinister Urge off my MST set. Yay geekery. Later we had pie and sex, just like the good ol' days. Awwwww.

Date: 2006-08-29 12:15 am (UTC)I'm amused that you went to the zoo for your first anniversary, as Trav took me to the Philly Zoo for ours. He said it was the first time he ever got good pictures of me, 'cuz I can't fake smiles for cameras, but when I'm lookin' at a hippo's butt, smile for real. I hope you got to see a hippo's butt.
