You scored as Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. You are the unfortunate changling from Robert Louis Stevenson's classic novel, the victim of volatile emotions that violate your reputedly noble character. Through scientific experimentation, you have divided your social and primal selves into two separate physical entities, which grapple perpetually for control of your existence. Because of this tension, your life is a maelstrom of inescapable, private turmoil. </td> Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde 71% Dorian Gray 67% Frankenstein's Monster 63% The Invisible Man 59% Count Dracula 50% The Headless Horseman 50% What's Your 19th Century Horror Character? created with QuizFarm.com

I did get out to the new American Indian museum today. The weather was gray and colder, and I was right - this improved the ventilation in the metro, somewhat.

The museum itself: rather crowded, but it IS new and was still less populated than it's likely to be this summer. Grievances: a lot of space seems devoted to halls and stairways rather than to exhibits, and some of these exhibits require use of a (frequently in use and probably unhygenic) touch-screen kiosk to get information about the objects in the case.

Otherwise - there's a lot to see, and I think most regions and tribes seem to my limited knowledge to be fairly comprehensive. Surprising goodie: the Cherokee section was done in collaboration with the North Carolina Cherokee museum on the reservation I visited many times as a child (my maternal grandmother lived nearby). Many happy memories there :)

Also got a good walk out of the trip as well :)

Not overly thrilled with getting back to work tomorrow, but one can't have everything :P

Sometimes one DOES get the notion that one should carry a package of disposable surgical gloves in public places ... just for safety's sake ***grin***
