Leonard has arrived! Last Tues I went to the PO Box to get him. The box was so big & bulky, that while riding the train, I took him out.

They must have made this off a mold from a stuffed iguana. You can easily mistake it for a real one if you don't look hard enough. So while I was writing up a sim post, this woman kinda creeped forward and looked, apparently concerned because there was some animal in a plastic bag. I looked up to see her inching towards the seats and told her it was rubber. She was relieved.

So when I went to the doctor's, I put it on the exam thingie while I sat in a chair to have my bloodpressure taken. The doctor walked in and stopped short, her mouth ajar for about 6 secs before she said "Okay: it's not real." Maybe she was waiting for it to blink?

The things I do for my art.

What was funny was after that, I transferred to another train line to visit my parents, and ran into the assistant manager of my job. He was totally confused meeting me, and asked if I was working that day. I don't know whether he noticed the iguana under my arm. If he did, he didn't tell anyone about it when mentioning that we ran into eachother.

Then of course was the hedging dance while my dad wanted to know how much I paid for it etc.

It sits presently on the back of the couch, with Lewis straddling its neck. They were lower on the couch the other day.
