The (Newport) Aquarium

My original plan was to go to the Newport Aquarium on my birthday. It was the perfect time to go to the aquarium because I didn't have much to do, no one would be there, I could be researching my next piece, and *it was my birthday.* I've also had this silly idea that aquariums cure writer's block and jumpstarts creativity. I blame this on Albert Brooks's The Muse.
In this film, Sharon Stone's character, being a muse of some sort, helps Albert Brooks's character, a screenwriter who has lost his "edge." She suggests that he should go to the aquarium; this would jog his creativity. (She also told James Cameron to stay far away from water. No kidding.)
