This, that, and the other thing. Sarcasm abounds. Also pictures of penguins.

A small lacquer cabinet (kodansu)  Meiji period (late 19th century) , Japan The small rectangular chest with hinged door, decorated in red hiramaki-e and takamaki-e with lobsters with long antenna on a kinji ground, the interior of the hinged door decorated in gold and brown hiramaki-e,takamakie and inlaid mother-of-pearl with seashells on a nashiji ground, the faces of the three drawers with stylized waves 3 7/8 x 2¾ x 3 1/8in. (9.8 x 7 x 7.9cm.) .  Christies

There is,,, a lobster. On the way

There is a lobster somewhere in the facility but we don’t know where

This is not a joke btw I was supposed to receive and acclimate a lobster today but I waited around in the lobby for an hour before finding out that the Lobster Deliverer went around back and gave the lobster to the aquarist and he went out on a diving trip without telling anyone where he put the lobster. There is literally a lobster here somewhere and we can’t find it. Lobster location unknown.

Update he put it in one of the lobster traps tied to the pier. Which is fine, that’s where it was gonna go anyway until we set up its display, but I would’ve preferred to acclimate it before plopping it into the ocean. But the hooligan has been contained. There will be no surprise lobster attacks today.

Update 2 here is Thee Lobster

Things i learned as a child that probably no one intended to teach me

  • To grown-ups, being bad at stuff is a sin. Forgetting stuff is the worst sin of all, and also doesn’t exist - it is widely believed (and your behaviour will be interpreted thusly) that in some Freudian sense, it is impossible to forget things if you care about them or their consequences or the people who care about those things.
  • Your being happy and enjoying what you do doesn’t matter. All that matters is whether you are Fulfilling Your Potential.
  • Human beings do not require rest outside of sleep. Thinking that you do is called ‘being lazy’.
  • Who you show physical affection to is a matter of politeness and social protocol, and has nothing to do with your own desires
  • It is rude to inform people of your preferences, even if they seem to care about catering to them and therefore might find this useful information.
  • Etiquette centres around doing things in especially awkward, skilful and time-consuming ways in order to demonstrate superiority over people who aren’t able to keep up.
