A weekend well spent.


I went to the aquarium the other day when I should have been studying Bacteriology.
The aquarium is pretty peaceful, if you can tune out all the people. It would actually be an awesome place to study if you didn't get kids running past you every five seconds telling their parents, "I'm a piranha. I'm from the Amazon!" (Finding Nemo style, with big toothy grins).

These are upside-down jellyfish. They have a symbiotic relationship with algae to acquire nutrients. They're pretty cool.


Lion fish are always worth seeing.


And my favorite, whale sharks! Friendly fish the size of a school bus -- oh how I love all of the crazy creatures on this planet. One day I'm going to scuba dive with them.
