As a thank you for coming in on the weekend to rescue samples from our malfunctioning -80C freezer, I was given this round cactus ball by my prof. By given, I mean it was thrown at me while she said, “Catch!”.
Now back to work

Gonna eat you!
My mom got me a pitcher plant that I brought to work. I can’t say how long it will last, but it looks happy after one day. For those of you who don’t know, little flies go into the pitchers… and never come out! Mwahahahahaaaaaa…
Also, the stache is gone. Good riddance!
Not your grandpa’s farm
Is that not the coolest farm you’ve ever seen? Apparently it’s a design for a downtown Seattle plan to integrate urban farming. The design is by Mithun, the makers of the REI flagship store in Seattle. You can read more about the farm at An Off-Grid Vertical Farm for Downtown Seattle or just check out Mithun’s fancy proposal.
A Post and a Picture
Since Mike just posted so many pictures, I shall have to post one of my own. Tada!
This was while we were waiting in line for the wanda sykes comedy routine at Punchline. I was extremely hungry, but no food places were open in that area of SF at 9 30. So I had to make do with a bag of caramel corn from a nearby theater. As you can see, I became very irate and attacked mike with it.
In other news, we headed to Lake Anza today and took a short hike. It was a really nice day, so I was surprised by how much parking there was in the parking lot. We attempted to name as many plants as we could, but realized that we had forgotten quite a few. It’s pretty sad. Maybe we need to start going on hikes with notebooks in hand. Our future hikes will be punctuated with shouts of “Polystichum!” “Cucurbitaceae!” “Saxifragaceae!”… doubtless startling hikers into hightailing in the opposite direction from two deranged, notebook waving humans.
