last night i went to a gala dinner at the american museum of natural history in nyc. this is the quintessential destination for middle school class trips. i fondly remember being tossed out of the gem room for running around on the diamond-flanked ramps. anyway, while i really, really want to love this museum, i can't help the creepy feeling i get that it's like a weird zoo frozen in time. and where all the animals are stuffed animals behind glass. that said, there was something neat about dancing 'under water' with the blue whale.
