padam padam
day two of bryophyte collection...life is good. we went to Neil and Jane's (Jane is our chef on campus, love her DOWN!) syntropic farm today to collect bryophyte samples and it was EPICSAUCE!!!!
We DID in fact stop at the gas station and I did get myself a little sweet pack of gummies for morale -- might come in handy later who knows.
We got so many samples on the farm, like 8 just from this old palm tree :O. Neil and Jane's farm is so wonderful, honestly the dream -- i would love to be them when I grow up. I literally ate the most delicious passionfruit from their garden, straight off the vine. Ripped that thang open with my bear hands and slurped out the inside DAFUQ.
We also headed to this edge of a rainforest fragment (the tolga scrub) and there so happened to be a playground there... obviously i took some photos:

when we came back to campus we aired out all our samples:
And then we took to the microscopes! We have cameras that hook up to your computers and we took some pretty epic photos. I WOULD upload the photos here but they are too large, this dinky lil website can't handle it. smh.
Then we had dinner, ROAST NIGHT!!! some chicken, potatoes, and broccoli. Dinner was kinda quiet tonight, because the different research groups have kinda different.
NYMPHIA WIND VS SAPPHIRA CRYSTAL LIPSYNCH FOR THE CROWN. HOLY MOLY. We watched the lipsynch smackdown AND the finale last night. and OH MY GOD. I forgot how good that final lipsynch is. SHIT. NYMPHIA TURNED IT OUT. We had to rewind the beginning when she did the Voguing and we had to rewatch the whole lipsynch ENTIRELY when it ended.
Then THIS MORNING we watched it again of course (i think i had a dream about it too) TWICE because we had to show everyone, and then after we came back from sampling we watched it AGAIN, and then just now i watched it AGAIN AGAIN.
Like I love Sapphira but i fear her energy flatlined at a certain point and Nymphia just served down the whole performance. I wish I could erase my memory and watch that again for the first time.
if you haven't watched it... her you go...you have no choice LIPSYNCH LINK HERE
Also, we started season 5 today and got 2 episodes in. I love season 5, i love how campy and trashy it is but like...honestly i enjoy watching good drag and i like how polished the new queens are. I miss the creative challenges of the earlier seasons and the DRAMA but i don't mind how polished the queens are compared to earlier seasons.
Alas, I digress, I could talk about drag race forever but it is in fact my bedtime now.
