I started to get trained on the x-ray scanner at work. It allows you to scan small objects a few centimeters in size and created a 3-D image. I think it's so cool!
My husband on the other hand, although happy I was happy, was not as excited as I was at the thought of all the limitless scanning possibilities (rocks, shells...maybe a small action figure:).
Our first lesson was to scan a shell and create a 3-D model of the borings within it that had been made by crustaceans. I thought this was total awesomeness and I gushed about it to Mike when I got home, but to my chagrin, he forced a smile, said the old, "That's nice dear..." and tried not to yawn. I was shocked! The utmost in coolness was occuring and my significant other was not excited.
I thought maybe he was just overwhelmed by the idea and needed a few minute details so I began to regale him with stories of scanning the shell, how it was so funny when we almost positioned it the wrong way...I chuckled to myself and noticed that Mike was not chuckling, or even smiling anymore. The yawn was starting to escape his mouth...
I came to realize that the utmost in coolness for me, was not the utmost in coolness for Mike. I guess that's alright. Funny how people's taste's can differ so. Although I have to admit, if we liked ALL the same things, life would be pretty mundane. It's nice to be exposed to new things and new points of view.
Although I still think it would be totally awesome to scan a Darth Vadar action figure! Mwhahahahahaha:)
