Almost over

I feel like all I've done over break is drive. I don't know how many trips I've made already, but this is getting rather ridiculous. I might as well put this on my resume and apply to be a chauffeur. When I got back I realized that I forgot to put a cup of tea that I brewed into the refrigerator. I looked at the cup and its contents were frozen. That's insane! I guess it shouldn't be too surprising as the temperature inside my house and outside are pretty similar. I looked more closely at the ice and there was mold-ish thing on it. What kind of crazy bacteria/fungi decides to grow on an ice cube?! I didn't think that psychrophilic bacteria actually existed. I mean, you assume these things only exist in textbooks or modified classroom labs. Maybe it was Listeria. To be honest I was really tempted to streak and culture it on a petri plate, but I would probably get yelled at for wasting resources... then again no one is working this week, so I'm sure no one would notice one extra petri plate in the cold room.

I love Christmas lights. They make me happy. Of course I would never put them up on my own house, but they're nice to look at--like heck I'm paying three times the electricity bill. My favorite are those swirly Christmas trees. I might cause an accident one of these days because I keep slowing down to stare at decorated houses. What I don't appreciate are those giant signs that say NOEL or JOY because 1. I think that having giant words takes away from the tranquil beauty of the lights and 2. Joy was the name of the TA that I hated the most and hope to never see again. Gosh, I complain about my TA's on here quite often. I hope they never find me and come after me with chainsaws.

Look at my drunk dog. I altered the sweater and put it on him (this took about 30 minutes), but he got confused and had some difficulties walking. Ignore my laughing throughout the video or better yet please mute the video. I was trying to hold it in, but it was too funny. :)
