tales from the south : the georgia aquarium!
while in atlanta this weekend, my mom took me to the aQuArIuM! that's how much she loves me. as you can imagine, i was really pumped. i took a lot of pictures of all kinds of creatures. want to see some? i thought so...
this is a beeeaaautiful jellyfish. i learned that they raise sea monkeys in the back and that's what they feed the jellies!
they had one of those underwater tunnels. it was 100 feet long.
the aquarium has 4 whale sharks. this is trixie, she's the biggest one. that's also one of joel's nicknames.
this is nico, one of the aquarium's three beluga whales. he was a real showboat, i'll tell you what. it all made sense when i found out he was on loan from the new york aquarium in bRoOkLyn! represent, nico!
these were called go-vols fish. i promise...it's science.
omg this ridiculous creature was my gchat picture for a while, but i never knew what it was. turns out...its a leafy sea dragon!
that's a piranha and it WILL eat you.
they had this petting tank...with sting rays that you could reach in and touch. i touched one! it was really slimy and sometimes i could feel their skeletons which made me stm.
you could also touch these sharks. but only a two-finger touch. they kept saying that. "this is a two-finger touch." ctm.
and finally, here's a video from the river otters tank. they were playing with a piece of carpet. isn't it just like georgia to give the otters some trash to play with?
i had so much fun at the aquarium! if you want to see the rest of my pictures, just click on this.

beyonce vs kelly clarkson
did you hear the one about the co-writer named ryan tedder from one republic who sold Beyonce and Kelly Clarkson the same song with different words? this kind of thing does happen in the music industry from time to time, but im most impressed that Kelly is going on radio shows talkin' 'bout how pissed she is. isnt she afraid beyonce might say something back to her ass? kelly also goes on to describe how she called ryan to cry about it, and is mad at her record label for releasing already gone as a single.

ikea not a complete diaster
when it was announced that ikea would build it's first nyc store in brooklyn, experts and residents were concerned that an influx of automobile traffic would overwhelm the otherwise quiet red hook neighborhood. however, traffic studies conducted since the opening are showing that things are in fact better than most expected.
ikea took great care to implement alternative ways to get to the red hook location, including buses, water taxis, and shuttles. these measures seem to be working. the brooklyn eagle has a full report.
