Little did I know that my day of awaking late would end up leaving me with a feeling of accomplishment so great that I could barely contain myself.

As you probably know, the sleeping I turned my alarm off yesterday morning, allowing me to sleep in. Isn’t that sweet of him? Watch the dominoes fall. If I hadn’t awoken late, then I would have gone to work earlier. If I had gone to work earlier, then I wouldn’t have still been working on my final two mugs when Black Jack Josh called. If I had missed the call, then Batman would have shed a tear. Why? I’ll tell you why.

Black Jack Josh and a group of fellow scientists had been at a local elementary school doing a demonstration for the kids. After the demo, they were left to their own devices. One of the aforementioned devices just so happened to be a giant container of liquid Nitrogen, that would have been disposed of unless we did some Science with it. And so, I once again got to rejoin Team Science. Just as soon as I finished my mugs. We were testing out a future presentation for the kids at the same school. For use next demo around. We were going to, and did, put live Goldfish into a cryogenic state using liquid Nitrogen and then resuscitated them. In other words, we froze live Goldfish and then unfroze them. Returning them to swim around around in blissful ignorance. Did it work? Yes. Just as long as we didn’t try to open the tongs while the fish was still frozen. Check it:

Haven’t had enough awesomeness yet? Oh, there’s more:

Oh yes. The eyeball stayed attached. After fish, we froze a brick:

At which point Black Jack Josh got way too excited.

Then we froze a fungus and crushed it. My digital microscope came in very handy for this one:

We also froze an arrow and then I shot it, with less than climactic results. Wah wah wahhhhh.

After this excitement, I went home and did my homework. Then, I went and did my civic duty. I voted for the legalization of marijuana. Then, I went to class. My teacher was in one of the other locations today, so at points during the lecture it sounded like this:

Anybody who’s read “Ready Player One” will appreciate that last one.

Let’s run through the checklist of stuff I did yesterday. Made mugs. Check. Froze Goldfish. Check. Voted for pot. Check. Did homework. Check. Went to class. Check. Ate tacos. Check. What did you do yesterday?

I’m off to do today and utterly fail at beating yesterday. More soon. ~SC
