I'm trying to write my persuasive speech on vegetarianism...I wanted to get it done before thanksgiving, so that I could practice over break....mmmmm, but I keep getting distracted...youtube and the internet in general--there are just so many interesting and fun things to watch, read, and listen to. Oh, yeah and the most amazing person in the entire universe is going to be in my arms in like 5 hours (or less I hope!), so that's kind of distracting :)...
I did find something super, SUPER awesome that a certain love of my life could appreciate my amazement for. KNITTED ORGANISMS!!!! COOOOOOLLLL!!!!
I could totally see these hung up all over our house and in our classrooms at school (both fitting an art and science theme! perfect!) (hint hint). The lady who knits them sells them on etsy.com along with patterns, that I presume she has also made herself, cool! One mantid is selling for $200.00! And look at all these cool mantids!
The ants are doing great for the most part it seems. 2 of the larger colonies h
ave not chosen to colonize the larger "acorn" that I made. I wonder if they like the more cramped feeling? I did not have much of a chance to visit them for very long this last week at school, but I did manage to pin one of the ants and sure enough, it is Temnothorax longispinosus. I am still unsure what specie the other colony is (with the one queen and one worker). The eggs have yet to hatch into larvae and they are all stuck together in a big clump--I wonder if this is "natural" or "supposed to happen" or if it is a bad sign? I borrowed The Ants by Hölldobler & Wilson from my professor for the thanksgiving break. I plan to read the chapters concerning communication between individuals and the colony as a whole. We'll see what I get to!
My other half is on her way, I think...No answer on her phone :/ To spend thanksgiving break with everyone (: exciting! We're going to make pumpkin pie and Chickpea Quinoa Pilaf! yummmmmmmm....OK back to speech writing...and stuff.
