I just got through watching Nova (a show on PBS), which usually seems to drag on way too long. The episode today, however, was really interesting. There was one part in it I especially liked that talked about these frogs that literally freeze themselves in the winter and thaw in the spring. Their hearts actually stop beating and they stop breathing! It's really really neat. Weeell, I think so anyways. I'm going to talk to McGeary about them tomorrow and see if he's heard of their amazingness (really, the processes and spectacular timing it goes through to for all of this to work so perfectly? it's incredible, really). Apparently there are other animals/amphibians that can do this too, and it's been known about for quite a while, but this was the first I heard about it and I think it's fascinating. Anyways, there's a lot more to it, but I don't want to BORE anybody. Ask me if you want to know more!

okay, now that I'm done being a science nerd, I went to a couple thrift stores today to look for a car salesman jacket/blazer to wear for a skit we have to do in English for our play. On the way home Kim and I stopped at Krystal Burger! If you don't know, it's a fast food place like White Castle. Yes, this means they serve tiny burgers, and tiny chicken sandwiches. I got three of the chicken ones and fries (that come in a cup!.. kind of). The chicken burgers were pretty good, plus they were small so it made them all the more exciting. OKAy, I'm going to go watch House now, like a TV junkie!
