This is an electron micrograph of Salmonella. It is of course artifically colored, but i think the little pink lines are flagella. This little bugger cost me last night and all day today. It seems that eating "questionable" lunchmeat is not the best idea in the world. Im big on throwing things away as soon as i have the thought "now when did I buy this?" Apparently my dad trusted whatever was in his fridge and fell victim to this enterobacteria. Ouch. Its nasty stuff. So as a warning to all you fellow eaters out there (pretty much everyone) watch out. those expiration dates are there for a reason. Now if I can only get my boyfriend to believe me. He thinks there is an expiration date conspiracy where they set them really early in order to make you buy more of their product. Yea that might be true, but part of me is still-if the date says throw it out, its goin out. I also realized that I do HORRIBLY without sleep for one night, it totally ruins your day. When I was in Barcelona we stayed out until 6am one night and I thought for sure the next day that i might have ran a marathon or something. I guess we all take for granted how important sleep is.
fun fact- if you have jet lag, for the next month after the jet lag experience, you have decreased brain function. A whole month!!! whew
