Arrrrgggghhhhhh!
After a long frustrating day in the lab on friday - I'm not finding snails that are infected with my parasite - I went for a run on the beach and out to dinner with Deanna and a woman who used to live in my bedroom a couple years ago. Saturday, Rebecca and I went to the farmer's market and totally loaded up...apricots, nectarines, tomatoes, zucchini, carrots, radishes, lettuce, banana peppers...lots of healthy eating this week, which is so needed after the holidays! Then we headed to Tomahawk lagoon, which is one of my study sites, so I could release some snails, get some lagoon water for my snails in the lab, did some birding and walked along the beach (link to the photos is on the right). I spent the afternoon in the lab but still haven't found my study species in a snail yet. Rebecca, Julie and I went to I am Legend last night...holy shit, I was soo not prepared for it to be a scary movie...it was good, but horrible! Don't think I'll ever watch it again. Today, I went on a cleaning frenzy. Then came into school to get on the internet to upload pics and do some brief work in the lab...I might have found my species...not sure...not getting my hopes up...hopefully I can confirm tomorrow. Now I am about to head home to make a wonderful stir-fry with all those fresh veggies!

Interesting Blog :)
I had the same take on I am Legend - I thought it was a great movie, but way too scary, and I'll probably never watch it again. I really dug the post-apocalyptic scenes in New York. They even had appropriate birds singing in the background - Wood Thrush in the forested areas etc. (Yes I know I'm a bird nerd). There is a new book out about what will happen to the Earth if humans go extinct tomorrow that I keep meaning to pick up.
I love the fact that you know what birds should be singing in a particular movie/tv/commercial scene. I pick up on that too but not as much as you do...I think I paid more attention to those kinds of things when we were dating.
It has been ages since logging into your site. I love your new haircut and really enjoy hearing about all the good food dishes you prepare - I glaze over a bit when you start explaining dissection, but go ahead; I know you can't help it.
Leaving next week for Sao Paulo. Anxious for some warm sunshine on my face and white legs.....
Hope you are well.

Nice pictures from Tomahawk! I told Chance about the jellyfish pictures and now he won't stop bugging me to show them to him. I think we will try and log on tonight.
