Day 135

I'm going to run out of interesting things in my room pretty soon.

Picture: Round penguin!

Background: I'm not obsessed. Stop looking at me like that. I do love penguins, though. I got this last Christmas from Santa. In it I put coins and paper clips and little things that don't really have a place or would get lost just sitting on my small desk. It's pretty useful, and I like getting useful things as gifts. So keep that in mind if you plan on giving me something. But please don't give me stuff. It makes me feel like I have to give something back eventually, and I'm a cheapskate (and I'm horrible at giving gifts).

today's video is about rice and physics...

Day 129

For some reason I searched the number 129 to see if it was prime (it's not, it's apparently semiprime), and it's actually the sum of the first ten primes. It's even a happy number! Seriously, where do mathematicians come up with this stuff.

Picture: Sorry, flower-namer, I actually know this one!

Background: It's a marigold! Emphasis on the "gold". Then again, it does look merry. This is probably one of half a dozen flowers I can name by sight. I took this (along with what will probably be the next few days' worth of pictures) on Saturday after working outside for a bit.

For today, I went to work for my brother that's closest in age to me. He does catering around here, and today's job was a 400 person deal. I haven't gotten up at 6 in the morning in quite awhile, and I hope I don't have to until July when I work for him next.
