rktso, this is my last night in cleveland. by this time wednesday, i should be back in brooklyn. it snowed. so my visit was not in vain.
i went to the historical society/history museum. it turns out that part of it is being worked over for some diana exhibit. and the american red cross, my good friends, were taking over a good chunk for taking people's blood.
to say that i tried to give blood would be stretching the truth. really, i just wanted to play and find out if i could still donate blood if i DIDN't KNOW if my male partner/s of the last 12 months, had at any point had had man sex. (never mind any of their other restrictions applicable to either male or female...*)
also, i wanted to get a red cross fleece scarf, if they did accept my "dur, i dunnnooo" ....
but. but. i'm a fool and left my hoodie on indoors too long (i'm severely sensitive to these things. my college medical records on test/paper due date can attest to this...) which upped my temp to 99.8 aka fever aka not donation worthy.
i thought about going for a walk outside to drop my temp (again, trust me, it works. i learned that when they came to take my blood in high school.) but i decided 'twas not to be. and mosied onto another museum.
the natural history museum, with a replica of Sue T. Rex, was too much for a few hours and, anyway, the woman at the desk was snotty.
so i went to the botanical gardens. usually, gardens = allergies!, but i figured i'd walk around the snow covered paths and enjoy myself. only, contrary to the ticket seller's words, the majority of outdoor paths were not available to the public.
i did get to see the indoor madagasscar and costa rica exhibits.
sushi for dinner.
i asked if they had lychee martinis.
the guy asked if i ment ly-chay.
i said, sure, whatever.
he said, as in "dulce de leche?"
i said, um, nevermind. that's ok.
now, if you don't know what a lychee martini is, that's ok. because you aren't part of a sushi restaurant. so i'm just saying. i'm spoiled.
cookies from the jewish deli for desert.
tomorrow.... i don't know. i don't leave until the pm. there's still the natural history museum and then i have to go somewhere after... i may just wander the downtown.
