Description I'm bored, miserably sick, and uninspired. So have a bunch of randomly swimming jellies on me.

Yes, I like jellyfish. Spiced, sauced and cold, thank you.


Based upon my old Underwater World shots.

Elegant pain-fish! They sound like the sort of thing a person might order at a galactic S&M emporium: "A pair of Arcturan Elegant Pain-Fish, with a dash of Tickle Tendrils on the side, please!"

What an interesting study, you don't see jellies too often. At least not this good This is outrageous -- in a good way! Amazing!

Aww, another underwater picture! I love it. I don't like jellyfish, they creep me out, but as a painting they're okay. Great job with this!

And I hope you feel better soon!

OMG, Farburetor! Today is Rob's brother's birthday. And he LOVES jellyfish. Heck, for a while, he even had a personalized license plate that read "JLLYFISH." Seriously. In fact, I posted a deviation of a jellyfish Christmas present I gave him five years ago: [link] For his birthday this year, I got him this: [link] I'll have to get his e-mail address and send him the link to this FABULOUS image. He'll be blown away.

I take it you're not into Chinese/Japanese food then, Sara? Because there's no way you could be into said cuisine and not encounter jellies at some point.

FracturedReality In reply to DarthFar [2011-07-21 14:39:32 +0000 UTC]

I love the cuisine, but I don't have an opportunity to try the real stuff. You know how squeamish Americanized Chinese Restaurants are about anything that looks stranger than Sweet and Sour Pork, and I live in an area where the nicest and only legitimately Asian restaurant for almost two hundred miles is a Sushi Bar that only serves ten different types of sushi, and potstickers (but mon dieu, their dragon roll is heavenly).

DarthFar In reply to FracturedReality [2011-07-22 03:57:17 +0000 UTC]

Now see, Sara, if I had been a *bad* friend, I would've reacted to what you just told me by telling you to go to an authentic Chinese restaurant and order "feng zhao" and "zhu xue". But I'm nice, so I'm just going to tell you to go visit a decent one the next time you go travelling. Oh, and you might want to pick up a Chinese recipe book, if sweet & sour pork is the most exotic thing they have on the menu there.

[And only ten types of sushi? sithspit!]

FracturedReality In reply to DarthFar [2011-07-22 15:08:18 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, that's a giant 'no' to the chicken feet, thank you very much. And isn't zhu xue the asian equivalent to Black Pudding? I've had Black Pudding. No thank you.

Of course, I might in turn guide you to Boiled Tripe, or Steak and Kidney Pie next time you're in England. Or perhaps Rocky Mountain Oysters if you're ever in the Good Ol' US of A

Sorry, Sara, but I only eat the skeletal muscles of animals, and I know what all those things you mentioned are (and I happen to *loathe* kidneys, fyi). You're not going to be able to trick me there!

Lovely!

On a side note, the border almost makes it look like a (de?)motivational poster.

HAHAHA! I *was* going to turn it into a demotivator, only I couldn't come up with anything suitably witty to put on it, on account of mushy brains.
