most famous organism associated the the archipelago
Friday, February 12 2016
I rounded out my series of Galapagos paintings today with the most famous organism associated the the archipelago, based on the most well-known photograph thereof.
This unlocked my drinking privileges for the evening, which usually revolves around that show Goldrush that I like to hate-watch. But it was mostly about Tony Beet's life back in Holland, which didn't interest me at all. Instead I watched the Shark Tank featuring a dubious $200 product: a plate containing cameras and a scale to automagically log food intake. As the sharks pointed out, such a plate makes little sense given all the eating that happens outside the home. This comically bad product was followed by an artificial honey called Bee-Free Honee. At first the sharks seemed dubious of the need for such a thing. But then they gradually seemed to come to the realization that this might be a good product for a future without honeybees. As for the vegan demand for such honey, that's just a bonus (for the record, I don't personally have a problem with eating honey). The sharks started slowly but suddenly grasped the magnitude of the discovery when the inventor of the product revealed how it had been the result of a cooking accident. Towards the end, the sharks were fighting each other for a chance to get in on a deal. Ultimately Bee-Free Honee nabbed a coalition of three sharks.
Gretchen returned home from a movie as I was watching, and the epsiode had been so good that I immediately went back to the beginning so she could see what I'd just seen.
