So i spent five days in paris, a city where i once lived. so the mystique and wonder of the historic buildings means not a lot to me. i spent some of my free time in a small aquarium near the Eiffel tower. i really wish i was joking but it was quite horrible. it is called cineaqua and it realsies that it will not be the top attraction in the surrounding area. It consists of three cinemas, one of which was playing castaway, three shark tanks and a couple of individual tanks for puffer fish and it's ilk. here are some of the notes i made.
do sharks in an aquarium lost their natural killing instincts? They have everything done for them, they swim with other fish that they cant kill. I am paying money to view lazy, dosser sharks.
i am never too sure if the tanks are big or if it is all smokes and mirrors. inside it cages these gormless giant sharks with eyes of either side of their heads. How could sharks wear glasses? Could sharks even be able to look smart. So dangerous, yet simultaneously stupid. Nature's sense of humour.
do sharks go clubbing? If they do; what is their go to move? a quick shimmy of the head? or is it a case of what type of shark they are means that they have to like that sort of music, you know like a hammer head? Do angel sharks like chill out? Do they even bother with mating rituals? Would a shark be more popular if it swam backwards? They don't do the swim upwards routine that these other fish are doing.
Those other fish are shiny glittering silver ones. Those nu rave fish, the klaxons of the underworld. Swimming around in a group, being individual yet inclusive at the same time, something i guess we are all afflicted with.
