The closest to Sainthood as I'll ever get.

And I'm supposed to say "Who Dat?" Good bowl party at Erynn and Aarons place. Your typical vegan fare from Erynn, mixed with a little Chicken leg from Jeff, chocolate chip cookies from Kristen B., and some of Marlenes delicious dip recipe with freshly fried tortillas. First bowl party with taco salad ever, mark that one down I guess. Haven't written for a while on here mostly due to exhaustion from picking all those mycorrhizal tips while I was with fever. So...yes! Kristin got back from the University of Minnesota and was tired but we both went to the Super Bowl party and then dissected fetal pigs for the fun of it. And why not? It's what everyone "really" wants to do after eating a bunch of snack food. The hardest part was figuring the muscles of the mouth and cheek, but after that opening up the chest cavity and figuring out the major digestive and respiratory organs was a cinch. Oh, and by the way, Kristin made me do it. I guess that's what love is all about.

It was, as far as I am concerned, the first day of spring around here. Orioles were everywhere today and it nearly hit 50 so biking was excellent. So excellent in fact that Kristins roommate Jella was washing his car. Those crazy Dutch...you never do know what they'll do next. He seemed to be reveling in the fact that he was washing "his own" car for the first time. Kudos to that. Pretty soon the Magnolias with be blooming, fungi will be growing, and I'll be in heaven.

Speaking of biking in Mississippi, it isn't the easiest thing to do, but it's getting better with organizations like Bike Walk Mississippi which advocates for better biking and walking ordinances within the state. Apparently Oxford received the first bicycle friendly city designation in Mississippi in 2008...a bronze medal out of the possible platinum, gold, silver, and bronze. They certainly have a long way to go before I'd call this a bicycle friendly city, but strides are certainly being made. Hopefully before I leave this place in a year and a half I'll see some more. The Oxford Cycling club is helping out as well and if you buy a membership, 10$'s for students, you get not only 5-10% off accessories at the bike shops, but half off your second sushi roll when you buy two at "Two Stick"! If you like sushi, this'll pay itself back in no time AND you'll be supporting biking in Oxford. Yay!
Anyhow, it is late again and I'm ready for bed. G'night ya'll.
