Shark @ MindSay 
On the afternoon of January 21, a fisherman spotted the large fish in the shallow water near the park. He immediately contacted Awashima Marine Park officials, who caught the shark and transported it to the park’s dolphin pen, where they turned it loose. The weak shark was able to survive for several hours — long enough for park officials to videotape it swimming around. Video footage of the frilled shark near the sea surface is very rare, and the park says it will keep the video for research purposes.
The frilled shark is typically found at a depth of around 600 meters (2,000 feet). Its slender body grows to about 160 cm long, and unlike most sharks, which typically have 5 sets of gills, the frilled shark has 6 sets. It is known as a “living fossil” for its resemblance to extinct, Paleozoic sharks.
Researchers investigating why the shark was found in shallow waters think it may have surfaced along with deep-sea water pushed up to shallow depths by easterly winds. Another possibility is that it left the deep waters because of cool water temperatures near the surface. Or perhaps it came in search of food.
My sister Lois, and her entire family arrived over here Thursday night so we have been so busy with them and playing with her 5 grandchildren, we haven't had time to blog, but here is a quick update.
This is their motel.
They were on the 25th floor. I got a little dizzy when I walked out on their balcony. I took this picture of the pier behind their motel from the balcony of their room.
It doesn't look very long from this height but this is the longest pier on the east coast. Friday night, we walked to the end of it and saw a guy catch a huge shark. I don't know exactly how long it was but it was at least 5 feet; maybe 8 feet. I didn't have my camera with me to take a picture dog-gone it. Last night we took the kids out there to fish and they caught 3 fish called "croakers". They made a noise that sounded like a frog.
We also found out some very exciting news, but I can't report it yet.
Here is a picture of the full moon over the ocean.
So I decided in bed last night as I was trying to sleep that it might be a entertaining idea to use this term to identify when I knew relationships or flings had 'jumped the shark'. To protect the unfortunate, I'm not going to identify who I'm speaking about but I'm sure some of them will prove to be nostalgic and hilarious for Brandybear. I hope it will inspire others to do one to compare our mistakes, misfortunes, and miscommunications with the opposite sex. Or perhaps it will cement how shallow I am.
Anyway, without further ado (these are all different people):
- when he picked me up for a "small drive" and I ended up in Flin Flon ( four hours away ). We almost hit a moose. It was supposed to be romantic?
- when i refused to sleep with him, he pulled "it" out and began touching himself, telling me he wanted to worship me as his goddess. I called a cab, and he asked for a hug before I left, and as disgusted as I was, I obliged. That's when he attempted to pull me onto his exposed lap and rub me against him. I have never run so fast!
- when we were lying in bed for the first time, he took a stuffed animal and started making a voice for it. Cute, right? Until he took another and had a ten minute dialogue with them, in increasingly higher pitched voices and completely ignoring me
- when he gave me an absolutely atrocious clock. I wish I could describe it. It was the biggest eyesore I have ever seen, and I truly believe he gave it to me as a gift only because he could not take having it in his possession anymore. And I was too nice to throw it away so it stayed in the closet forever. It's probably still somewhere in Princeton Towers Suite 815..
- after bragging about his mint condition classic camero that was supposedly parked in his garage for weeks, we drove to his house and parked his parent's van in the garage, beside an old rusted out truck. "Where's your camero?" I asked casually. "My Camero? Oh, yeah, uh, um, it's in Winnipeg right now, getting fixed!" I raised an eyebrow; "Couldn't you order the parts? You *are* in Power Mechanics." He looked down and said "No. The parts are really rare so only this guy I know in Winnipeg can do it. He's doing it for free. He's a buddy." Riiiight. But I give him credit for being the most confident, unabashed liar this country has ever known.
- When he showed me his European porn collection.
- When he said that Rufus Wainright's version of Hallelujah was wayy better than Jeff Buckley's version. WTF?
- when he got his girlfriend pregnant.
- when i bled all over his shirt (through my nose) in the dark
- when he bit my lip and it swelled to three times it's size and I had to go to the emergency room, and later explain the incident in a staff meeting at work (thanks dani!!)
- when i realized he sounded really eerily like Richard Ramirez (the serial killer), and also, when I realized he was 34 and acted younger than me (18 at the time)
Okay, I'll think of more. But that's it for now. I'm drawing a blank.
Also, stealing from the Salvation Army is very, very bad karma.
Oh! Oh! Oh! This is what I've been working on for the past few days! It'll be going up above my bed, pictures to follow when it does.
In my life, I have been rejected three times. Three times I have had these people confess to me afterwards how much of their own shit had caused the rejection. It wasn't me!! It was them!! Do you know what that means?!
Exactly! I'm fucking awesome!!!!!
Enough exclamation marks?! FUCK YES!!! Best night ever.
