It was nice. David came to visit and took me to dinner shortly after I got out of class. After picking The Aviator up from the library (we both love Leo), we went to dinner at Dan Thai. It's the only restaurant fancy and expensive enough to meet our frivolous ways of spending.
I've never ever gotten anything besides the Green Curry at this place because I am convinced that it's the best. However, on the specials menu, there was a dish called "Soft-shelled crab in yellow curry sauce", which sounded delish. So, I got that and David got, well, the Green Curry. And he didn't even do it incase I didn't like my dish (he's allergic to shellfish). It was so that I wouldn't get Green Curry for the eleven-hundredth time. I'm one of those people who thinks it's weird when people order the same things at restaurants.

But I'm still going back to Green Curry. After our fried bananas and vanilla ice creams, we went to Nature's Emporium to pick up new filters for the fish tank. This scared the living daylights out of me:
Giant beanie-baby spider that looked real for a sec
We also visited the koi pond.
They were seriously the length of a human arm.
These are my fish as of today with new tree-trunk and purple plant accessories. They are snacking.
The Born into Brothels team executive produced this movie. I'm spreading the word. I don't know if any of you guys remember, but Ross Kauffman came to Elon our freshman year. Anyway, I think this movie seems interesting and full of tiles!
The world's oldest known rocks are found near the Great Slave and Great Bear lakes in Canada. The rocks, which include granite, are around 4.03 billion years old.
Probably the earliest seismoscope was invented by the Chinese philosopher Chang Heng in A.D. 132. This was a large urn on the outside of which were eight dragon heads facing the eight principal directions of the compass. Below each dragon head was a toad with its mouth opened toward the dragon. When an earthquake occurred, one or more of the eight dragon-mouths would release a ball into the open mouth of the toad sitting below. The direction of the shaking determined which of the dragons released its ball. The instrument is reported to have detected an earthquake 400 miles away that was not felt at the location of the seismoscope. The inside of the seismoscope is unknown: most speculations assume that the motion of some kind of pendulum would activate the dragons.
