end of an era

hello there people of the web wide world,

well to make a long story short there are no more jobs in drumheller for dinosaurs...


i guess there really are too many of us here. so many that there are dinos lined up on the street all over town looking for work, and pestering tourists for money! i don't want to wide up like them.


having slept in my car last night i figure there's no reason to unbuild the nest i made in the back seat. i'm going to live in here a while. i'm not staying in drum though. i've decided i must try my luck somewhere else out there... i'm going on a road trip!

i'm a little scared though. it's a big world out there, and i'm just a small dinosaur. i've never been really away from the museum, and i'm not coming back to it either. this could be the beginning of a whole new life for me...

but betters can't be choosers... or was that beggers get to be choosers... or were choosers beggers?

oh hey! there is one bit of good news. all my friends at the musuem kirsten, christa, cam, and tyler they all pitched in and bought me this shiny (well it's not really shiny) new portable magic box. yeah with this toplab i'll be able to keep you on the innerweb up to date.

where i'm off to i'm not entirely sure... but i leave for it today

going down memory lane (laid off part 2)

for a minute i thought that today was all a horrible horrible dream... so like in the movies when their stuck in a nightmare i went to sleep. that way i'd wake up and everything would be back to normal...

instead i woke up to find that in addition to being laid off, one of the salamanders in the garden had pooped on me. that and i'd wasted my last day as an employee! man why do movies lie to me all the time?

hearing the annoucement over the PA that the museum was closing in 5 min i figured i should do the right thing, and as a new member of the public i'd have to leave the building. man what a march of pain that was... and i know all about marches of pain! i've worked at badlands sciency camp!


there was all the gang in the dino hall doing their thing. the thing that they were here to do. i'd always thought someday i'd get to do it with them. i mean hey i'm a dinosaur just like them why shouldn't i have been in the dino hall too? but i was too small, too dumb, and got there after all the other dinos had.

if only i'd hit my growth spurt, or had a bigger brain, or been born before the museum originally opened...

even my mom had nothing to say to comfort me... i know she only speaks when she has something important to say, but i think this would have been the time!


walking toward the exit i couldn't help but wonder what was going to become of me. i didn't just loss my job, but i also lost my home, and even more i'd lost my place in dinosaur utopia. this is where we still rule the earth. people come from all over to see us. i'd always thought someday it would be me that the little kiddies would walk up to, and have their eyes light up and scream "it's a dinosaur! the best i've ever seen!".

drumheller may be the dinosaur captial of canada, but even us dinos have to pay rent... and this valley's stuffed to the brim with us... i am going to have to see if i can get a job somewhere else... there must be a way!

keep your fingers crossed for me people of the innerweb... i'm going to need all the help i can get!

the END?!?!?!?!? (Laid Off part 1)

oh no!!!

i knew i forgot something yesterday! the museum was going to figure out what my job for the fall was going to be... and uh well this whole lillian thing kinda got outta hand... so much so that my hiding in sheer terror meant i missed the meeting about my job!

uh i'm not sure how to say this but... they FIRED ME!!!

it was horrible. cam stumbled on me while i was hiding behind the puzzle monkey tree... which by the way makes an excellent hiding place if ever you need to find one in the cretaceous garden. especially if being hunted by a large predator... where was i again... OH YEAH! FIRED!!!

so there i was hiding when cam walks up and is like "uh dude what are you doing here?" and i'm all like "hiding from lillian! keep your voice down!" and then cam says "uh dude. you were supposed to be at the meeting yesterday. you better come with me"


so i followed him into the museum lobby where he went over the meeting of the big cheeses...yummy... or i mean the big bosses (though in fairness their actually really small compared to most of the dinos in the museum... just bigger then me) who decided that they have enough dinosaurs, and that at this time there is currently no need for my services at the museum for the time being...

i don't i don't know what i'm going to do people of the interweb...

sanctuary (lillian part 4)

oh man...

i've been lying low in the cretaceous garden for like a day... hoping lillian can't find me... you can hear her stalking the museum (especially at night) from in here...

fortunetly i blend in very as you can see....


i think everyone is getting worried about me though... they've called my name over the PA a bunch of times... i just don't want to risk leaving here and getting eaten is all!!!

in all of this fisaco i can't help but think i'm forgetting something else that was supposed to happen yesterday... hmmmm what was it?

what happened? (lillian part 3)

hey there people of the innerweb...

i don't know quite what happened... but everything is no good!

well here's how i best recall it.

there i was finishing my lunch...

when i noticed lillian had returned from her lunch, and was back in her corner of the gallery.

so i was all like "hey here's my chance", and i marched right on over to talk to her.


i started to tell her how i felt about her. i thought it was going really well... she didn't ask me to stop or anything...


then i happened to ask about the rumours of her leaving, and suddenly SWABAMOO!!!... she got really angry and was like "what do you mean?!? me the star attraction leave? how dare you imply i'm expendable pathetic spec!!!"... next thing i know she is trying to KILL ME!?!


i got out of there as fast as i could!

now i'm hiding in the library with the magic box waiting to see what happens next...

chickened out (lillian part 2)

okay so i chickened...

but i had a good reason. the triceratops i was going eat with her smelt so good... i uh kinda started without her...


by the time i came out of my feeding frenzy lillian had already left for lunch...


have to come up with a new plan... after lunch!

the plan (lillian part 1)

okay people of the innerweb,

i'm a little scared... their supposed to tell me, sometime this afternoon, what my job at the museum is going to be till next summer.... but even more important though today is the day that i ask lillian out...

based on all the helpful suggestions of my friends here at the museum (thanks christa, peter, and especially kirstin!) i'm actually going to do it... i won't chicken out. promise!

i have a plan... based on what kirsten tells me lillian's favorite food is ceratopsian. so i'm going to invite lillian to join me in eat some ceratopsian... mmmmmm burger.


so now all i have to do is not chicken out, and do it. yes no chickening out!

i love the museum!

okay people of the web wide world,

today is a important day. i have make sure i'm very professional, and show the bosses what i can do. tomorrow they are going to figure out my future position at the museum.


i figured at get things off to a good start so i consulted joe as to what he thought i should do. (joe tyrrell is who the museum was named after). well he didn't have a whole lot to say on the matter. so i figured that meant carry on as i have been.

which meant another day cruising the museum. man i love this job.

i get to catch up with all the dinos of the museum... can you believe the joke they were pulling. all of them were like "who are you?" and "when did you start here at the museum?"... such kidders



i also get to eat whenever, and whoever i wanted!

while wandering i also couldn't help but notice lillian......... drool


my friend kirsten in the lab has informed me of a very startling rumour that lillian might be leaving!!! i'm going to have to make my move soon then. while i still have the chance
