sea world

Andrea writes about a recent visit to the San Pedro Aquarium:

There, all by itself, was a lone sea horse. And above it? A bold sign and makeshift shrine, announcing it as "The Sea Animal Of The Moment."

Brett was taken aback that the aquarium would have the nerve to designate one of its charges as the "It Girl" of the entire place. Me? Not so much. Life is cruel. It's dog eat dog. Seahorse eat jellyfish. Shit happens.

The seahorse knew it was the animal of the moment. I don't know what sex it was, but I will say that it had its tail wrapped around an underwater plant and was sort of fawning nonchalance, like the hot girl at the party who stakes out the spot next to the banister and leans on its rail so that everyone has to pass her on the way to the keg. The seahorse soaked in its fabulousness, wondering when Elisha Cuthbert's managers were going to call and realize they had yesterday's pie on their hands, and that the real deal was down near the port.
