After two days of fun galore, Okio and I decided to have a nice, relaxing day indoors.



The weather, however, was quite nice. So, as hunger got the better of me, I decided to find a bite to eat as Okio puttered about.



So, on I walked...



...until I found this colorful, little hole-in-the-wall booth in the middle of a parking lot called Taco Grande. I proceeded to have three homemade and quite delicious tacos, along w/equally good rice. The refried beans, however, left a lot to be desired.

(Also, I forgot to take a picture of said taco-y goodness. For I'm an idjit.)

As we both sat around, enjoying both the Xbox 360 as well as general Interweb goodness, we thought about more orgasmic baked goods to make.



So, after a trip to Wal-Mart to get sour cream and cream cheese, then a trip to Kroger to buy more sour cream and cream cheese (there was a snafu), we made something that helps chocolate and drinking come together...



Pure awesome.

What's that? You want to see them frosted?



There ya go.

What's that? You want the recipe so you may control this moist, yummy sex for yourselves? Go here, young Padawans.

Full of cupcakes, I soon started nic-fitting. So...



...on I walked (wow, deja vu) to the closest 24-hour gas station for cigarettes. Rested, sugar craving sated, lungs blackened, and in the company of a gracious host, it was a good day. We would soon turn in for the evening and look forward to tomorrow.

Soon it was Monday. As we were thinking of something fun to do, Okio had previously suggested The Dallas World Aquarium. Now, I'm a lover of animals (besides the ones for eating), so this sounded like a very good idea. Also, there would be monkeys!

So, we got ready (and Okio looked quite beautiful, though she doesn't believe me, and won't let me post the pic I want ) and soon we were off.

Hell, we hadn't even gotten in the car and we saw our first animal.



Mr. Friendly Squirrel decided to hang out outside. I'm used to the grayer squirrels up north, so a photo was had.



Weather started out not as nice as Sunday, but we'd be indoors anywho, so it didn't make a difference. Oh, and the freeways and such down there are concrete instead of tar. WACKY!



I've not a clue what this building is, but I thought it was cool-looking.



Trust me, that says "Dallas World Aquarium." Hell, they even have animals outside.



FISH!



Any excuse to see more green, green plants while everything here in MA is still dead as all hell is a good excuse.



I can't remember what kind of bird this was, all I remember was it was loud as hell.



TOUCAN!

Now, back to the aforementioned monkeys, I saw Golden Lion Tamarins, and had to get proof.





They, however, were total jackasses and refused to give my good poses (DAMN YOU, FOCUS!). Okio, however, was more loved by them, judging from the pics she got. I feel so betrayed.



I got the urge to pee for some reason.



I did my best to not jump in there and avenge Steve Irwin.



A cuttlefish. If I decided to go w/a "oceanic" theme for my tattoos, I think cuttlefish are rather cool-looking.



I have no clue WTF this is, but I want one.



There was this cool as fuck glass-like tunnel thingy where you walk through and all sorts of sharks swim in front of and above you. Sadly, this is the only pic that came out.

Through our walking, uh, through, I caught a glimpse of a mass of pink. After more walking, we finally reached the flamingoes.

Now, I am comfortable enough in my masculinity (and John Waters fanboyism) to admit my ♥ of flamingoes. Behind monkeys, pandas, and platypi, they're pretty much my favorite animal.









Also, I swear any time I see flamingoes, I end up seeing one poop whilst standing on one foot, which I did. And I giggled like a little bitch.

Our day @DWA was soon complete, though overall there was still much more touristy things to be had.
