Last week, I voted, ate lobster, interviewed the woman who did the voice of Jem, celebrated my husband’s promotion at work, and went to the California Academy of Sciences with Marcia. My life is odd. Also: awesome.

My pictures of the museum didn’t turn out, but luckily Marcia’s did. Although the museum if kind of pricey to get into, it is well worth it because of the center core of it where you walk up three stories looking down into a fish aquarium while butterflies flap around you and light on people’s hands. It’s small for a museum of its type, but everything is well-chosen and interesting to look at. I particularly liked the Ghost Shrimp, shrimp that is completely see-through.

Here are some of Marcia’s pictures:

This last one is of the museum’s living roof, which I will be writing for the Pacific Sun in the near future…
