Epic Fruit Salad

Star and I made some sweet sweet fruit salad. Katherine turned the epic nature of fruit salad into music and rocked out.

My Babies

These are the little tadpoles that I posted about earlier. All six are still totally alive and they're between 3.5 and 4 mm long from snout to the tips of their tails. They all have legs to some degree, two are a bit further along and there's one little late bloomer. Legs don't matter anyway... right?

While I was making this post I've decided to name them Jim, Lorraine, Sampson, Sassy, Meemee and Harold. If you can guess which is which... you'll win some sort of prize or something.

Mud Bay ADVENTURE!

Jessie and I went on an adventure. We ate some tastey tastey waffles and french toast at a diner, played in the mud and then got soapy in a bath tub.

All in a good days' work!

This is a mud flat on Mud Bay road. It's totally not as stinky as it looks...
Jessie's UP TO HER KNEES in mud!

This is what happens when you hose off in a tub. Housing should have a hose outside the dorms, but because they don't, they'll have to snake the drains.

SUCKA!

It Must Be Spring...

All the toesies are out to play!

Graeme's mix and match style is pretty sweet..
Brian, Corbin and I got into some pink toe nail polish. It's the only way to really rock the spring weather.

Olympia Craziness

The artisian well is a spring that burbles up out of a parkinglot next to Olympia Outfitters. It's natural and apparently very tastey, but I STILL won't drink out of it.

This is a corn dog advertising the Bees Knees (whatever that is and WHENEVER that is.. it doens't say). Star spotted it roosting in a tree.

This bike was parked and chained in front of one of the downtown stores and has been there since the arts walk a few weeks ago. I really hope someone rode it to work.

Fun in the Park!

Just some videos I took of everyone in the park, I forgot how fun swings are! James, Steve, Jessie and Corbin are in the videos...

Guess How Much Homework I've Done Today...

Bread, Gulls and Salty Waters

(Bay area)

Jessie and I decided to find some ducks and feed the leftover ends of bread loaves to them. Unfortunately there are signs all over Capitol Lake screaming

"DON'T FEED THE DUCKS! THE POO EVERYWHERE! AND EAT OUR GRASS! AND CAUSE ALGEA BLOOMS! DEATH TO ALL DUCKS!"

Or something of that nature. So we figured that there might be ducks in the bay area so we tramped over millions of shells and squishy, stinky bits and found ourselves by some old railroad tracks.

(Railroad tracks)

(Jessie)
There are no ducks to be found but there was a little seagull.

(little seagull... I will name him Francis)

So Jessie fed Francis the smallest of pieces of bread.

(Friends of Francis)

And then Francis' friends came and we fed them too.

And then we wound up with the entire seagull population of Olympia fighting over a couple of pieces of stale bread. Essentially, we created a scene from Birds and then promptly ran out of bread. Sorry Francis & co. It was fun (and probably frowned upon) while it lasted!

Tadpoles!

Brain, James and I decided to go capture some tadpoles one night becuase we were SUPER bored. Now, I have:
Seven tadpoles
One water beetle
Several clear invertebrates of some sort (hopefully larva that will turn into hideous monsters that will one day battle the likes of Godzilla)
And a coffee pot full of murky water.
