Fish aren’t like real pets. They’re more like living decorations. But it is also very soothing to watch them, though I’m not sure quite why that is.

People who work in education and/or exhibits are familiar with fake food and the wide variety of it that you can purchase. But really, taking this picture was just an excuse for me to post a link to this awesome song about toy food.

I have a small carry on suitcase, and Doug has a gianormous suitcase, but neither of us has a decent mid-size bag. We knew we’d need them for Costa Rica, so we bought a couple today, along with a few other things for that trip.

My friend and coworker Bridget has covered one of the windows with kirigami that she created. It wasn’t really my plan to take this picture; I was actually trying to take another one, but the shadows were “ruining” it. Then I realized this would make a much more interesting shot.
