Morning, little fishies

So Girl-E just got her volunteer assignments for the Democratic National Convention. Four days at the New England Aquarium (yay!!), three of them from 6-10am (boooOOOO. OO.).

Her little nasty secret is that she is a hardcore aquarium junkie*. She makes vacation decisions based on the world-renowned...edness of the city's aquarium. Monterey, Seattle, Vancouver, MONACO forcrissakes, she's seen 'em all. Except Camden, New Jersey. Hasn't checked that one off the list. She is particularly smitten with the leafy seadragons. Is there anything in this world more fucked up and wildly cool? No. Anyway, the New England Aquarium has the seadragons, and has just kicked off an Amazing Jellies exhibit, so really she could not have been given a more bitchin' assignment. Plus if the terrorists blow up the convention they surely will go for the Fleet Center where the politicians are, and not hurt the fishies.

But SIX IN THE MORNING?!?! You know, she did have to fill in a little form with the time slots she could do, and we can't imagine she checked off 6-10am under any circumstances. Unless of course she was filling out the form between 6-10am, since she can't be held responsible for shit during those hours.

So if you are in Boston during the DNC, and you feel like hanging out with the octopi in the wee hours of the morn, stop by and say hi. But do not ask the blonde girl for assistance unless you want to end up wandering onto the stage during the sea lion show when all you wanted was the drinking fountain.

*Unlike her friend DQ, however, aquariums do not make her hungry.
