Underwear Ninja comes with Space Suit

to blog or not to blog, which is the path a true underwear ninja must take? whichever path it be, it will surely be a rough-hewn one. argyle, possibly.

Week with the Kauffam Day 2

the night was hot. really really hot.
we decided that unlike yesterday, today we would try to spend lots of time indoors. and what better way to do that than going to the museum of natural history. yes, the same museum featured in "night at the museum".
for breakfast again we have pancakes, and this time with the addition of little smokies breakfast sausages.

today was yellow day. we stopped at starbucks again and that guy was there again. i guess he has a morning routine of going to starbucks like we do. and this time he was recommending we go hiking in the mountains... on the hottest day of the year...
i don't think he knows we spent all day outside or that we have practically no air condition.
we got to the museum and did the planetarium first. the planetarium is very cool! and very good at making you feel small and insignificant in the grand scheme of the cosmic universe.
without going into too much detail about the exhibits, it was a tiresome walk around the museum and 2 full days of walking is starting to take its toll on my feet. steve, ever the podiatrist, calls it plantar fasciitis, which i dutifully translated into what i call "my feet are sore".
some ibuprofen and i'm fine though.
the cafeteria in the museum is noteworthy because of the exorbitant pricing of all items. as high as 1000% markup from what you could find wholesale. yoohoo drink boxes for $3.35? pass.
of course they would name is "yahoo chocolate milk" even though there is no yahoo and no milk involved. i guess the yahoo part is how much raw dough they are making from the sale.
See scott's blog to see how much his basic meal costs.
cj wanted to make sure i made the S in that last sentence capitalized.
and he's scratching my back while i write this now.
he really wants to play orc assault and go to olive garden.
in fact, olive garden has quickly become the de facto dinner destination by him and he will end up advertising olive garden at every opportunity.

about 5 o'clock we headed out of there, in the rain. scott and steve got locked out of foursquare so i got to claim all the check ins for all the places we passed.
cj also invented a song that quickly became a smash hit to himself. it goes like this:
"there's a squirrel in your pajamas and you gotta get him out, what do you do"
we ended up at time square and saw a lady in an orange dress making everyone say "ali cante" or something like that. "allez cante!" i don't know. she had what looked to be a very low budget film crew with her. very low budget. she mouthed the words to what i guess is a song she recorded, for what i suppose is a music video of sorts. so if you see a dude in a yellow hat and yellow shirt walk around her during her music video it's probably me.
i'm not sure they'll end up using that footage anyway since i think the purpose of the video was to show her singing in times square but during all her shots there was a big beer truck basically blocking the view of all of times square.
scott and mackenzie played piano in times square. there was a public piano sitting there for general use.
this big dude in a joker outfit came up and told us to take a picture with him. then he said "can i get a tip" which struck us as really odd since he asked US to take a pic of him. like maybe he should be giving us the tip. i produced a dollar for him, whatever. he smelled bad.
christopher showed me olive garden in times square, but we actually ate at chevy's.
we went back home and as we passed starbucks we saw that dude still sitting in there. what the heck does he live in there?? he's becoming an icon of that place now.
and just watched some general tv programming. there were no "obtained" movies showing.
we went to bed tired and hot.
