It was so cool

So today we were dissecting eye balls and frogs (who says my classes aren't fun?) and I hear a student say, "I think our frog has cancer."

I go over figuring it's probably full of eggs or something but lo and behold the entire liver is filled with these really cool white ball like things (I must take in the camera!) It's some kind of cool encysted parasite. We put it under the dissecting scope and one of the students who found it tried to get the cysts open but the formalin had made identification impossible at least on try number one. The students were laughing since they knew I was all excited about this

pic spam and other things

I forgot to mention this. If you're on the ed_winry community, go look at those fire and ice challenge stories. Voting ends tomorrow. Me and several of those regularly commenting on my LJ have stories up there. No, i can't tell you which one is mine. That defeats the purpose but do vote (yes COM do remember to do this yourself) andif you want to guess which story is mine I'll confirm or deny it once the voting is done and the outcome posted.

I MUST OWN THIS

Seriously. That needs to be in my yard. I mean, can't you just see it?


The first tomato haul, green stripeys, yellow pears and riesentraube's.

the Love-in-a-mist seed pods and those brain plants

seed pods up close…look at COM shake


I’m a black black pepper This Black Pearl pepper is in its second year. I think it has babies but they don't look like the mother plant. They MIGHT be clones from mom, instead of true babies.

Come on, Click on me. You KNOW you want to see the parasites (otherwise known as COM needs to learn how to take close ups since she sucks)


I'm so worn out. I'll be so glad when summer is done. Just ONE more week. Parties in advance. OOOo i have mojitos and real mint....bye now
