But what if I'm a mermaid in these jeans of his?

As soon as it opens, I am going to see this.

The article in the museum newsletter states that "the exhibition highlights such supposed denizens of land, sea, and air as dragons, griffins, mermaids, sea serpents, and unicorns, with models that have to be seen to be believed. Among them will be a 17-foot-long dragon; the mythical bird of prey, the roc, with a 19-foot wing span; and a kraken, the multi-armed, ship-foundering sea monster, its massive two-foot-diameter tentacles surfacing all throughout the hall."

Reading this, my father asks me, "How would you feel if you found out you were descended from a kraken?"

"Biologically implausible, but awesome."

"Just checking," my father says equably, and goes back to reading the article.

Yeah.

I love that song so much. Also, hurray for Kate Bush listening!

I have no complete albums of hers, only handfuls of different songs. I was transcribing lyrics last night and mourning that I cannot currently afford to fill out a proper collection. I need to be much less broke.

The only one I have is Hounds of Love, but I've heard a few others from older albums that I really liked, too. Have you heard "Jig of Life"? Definitely my favourite song of hers. I could e-mail it to you if you'd like.

I do have that one, but thank you! I think my favorites of what I've heard are "Wuthering Heights," "Coffee Homeground," "Babooshka," "Army Dreamers," "Houdini, "Hounds of Love," "Top of the City," and "How to be Invisible," but I'm certainly open to new listening experiences.
