If anyone was curious as to how many episodes of Man v. Food I streamed through the Xbox this weekend, the answer is all of them. If you weren't curious, I'm sorry for wasting your time.

If anyone is curious about how many of the food challenges that our great nation has to offer that I am determined to try, the answer is all of them except the spicy tuna roll challenge (it isn't the spice that worries me, it's the raw fish).

If anyone is curious about how much I barbecued yesterday, the answer is about a metric ton of meat (burgers, dogs, spare ribs, short ribs and chicken breasts). It was a good day, and now that summer term is over, fall is here, and I bought a new pair of rubber boots for my field work, and Trevor bought me a new laptop for my in class work. Oh happy day, PhD I can practically smell you.

If you weren't curious about any of these things, again I'm sorry for wasting your time. In fact, it would be awesome if you left a message saying what you ARE curious about so I can update you next time. If you're not curious about anything, I can hardly blame you...I'm not that interesting.

One last thing: Thieving from the workplace? You stay classy, Zoo Employee. Sheesh.

I slept for 18 hours. It was miraculous. But sadly I woke up to check my stupid virtual farm on stupid facebook and my stupid strawberries wilted while I slept. Alas.

When I woke up Teen Wolf was on TBS. Now...I love Teen Wolf, don't get me wrong, but I hadn't seen it in years. My brother and I sat there completely ENTHRALLED. It was SO STRANGE. Like, the things you don't get when you're a kid watching that movie. My goodness.

And that's about it, I'm thrilled to be back at work after a whole day off and I'm ready and raring to go.

And because Lucy asked a question about music, I'm going to ask about guilty pleasure movies. Between she and I and our random questions we should have everyone's "guilty pleasure social security numbers" by the end of the month and be well on our way to sending all of your paychecks to that kindly Nigerian Prince who keeps emailing us both.

So! Guilty Pleasure Movie...READY...SET...GO!

P.S. Mine is Grease 2

( P.S.S. I love the internet )

I decided I'm going to make lunch for our awesome sea life interns tomorrow! Are there any food restrictions or allergies or "gag me with a spoon that's gross" foods I should know about?

And yes, I'll bring extra of whatever it is because lord knows we'll get stragglers from all over the place :-P But you intern types get to pick the food!

And yes, those of you who were promised cookies will still get cookies, I've got an assignment due tonight, I'll be up cooking for hours after I've turned it in...At least I'm using my neurosis for good. My kind, dearly departed uncle told me once that with great mental instability comes great power. I've clearly taken that to heart.

Alright fellow zoobies...Settle an argument I had with my brother this morning.

Lets discuss the topic of internet dating.

I think it works out well for people who don't like to meet people in other ways, I think that it helps weed out all the people you have nothing in common with, and if you don't have time to go out and meet people, it's dating by email! How cool is that? I run my life by email!

And his side is that it's for lazy people who don't want to put in the effort. He seems to think that it's my desire to sit at home in my jim jams with my laptop instead of going out into the world that is leading me to this conclusion. His exact words "It's giving you an excuse to go on your first date in your pajamas...And that's how you roll."

Pffft. His partner, good old dependable Trevor, stayed out of it.

So fellow employees, lets get really inappropriate before ten AM and discuss internet dating :-P

And just because I've been writing it everywhere and feel as though I need constant reminders: CASE STUDY DUE at 11:59 PM TONIGHT.

Matsui was good enough to plan Karaoke night (if she plans then shenanigans are a go for launch). I haven't even gotten a chance to see all of you since I got back so I'm going to be dragging my tired ass out on a work night to regale you all with my fantastic rendition of "Redneck Woman." Everyone else should come too. This is your 24 hour reminder. I can go ahead and put down "everyone" as attending I'm sure. Is everyone excited? I know I sure am.

There is nothing worse than realizing you can't sleep until AFTER it's far too late to take a sleeping pill. So here I am, 2.5 hours of sleep and 15 gallons of coffee later and I have to pee and am jittery. Awesome.

I got here in plenty of time to greet the delivery truck (no one told me they got a new driver!!), but I'm pretty sure I'll be face down in a pile of fish guts by noon.

Speaking of noon, I left my purse in my brother's car, who is buying me lunch today? I'll get you back tomorrow. Pretty please with sugar on top?

I've missed dead fish days, every day should be dead fish day. Though it always makes me want to go fishing, maybe this weekend. See? Completely jittery!! Sid is going to take my fish knife away if I'm not careful.

Morning Break over, back to sorting dead fish I left Probie alone with the little suckers, who knows what he's done. Lunch??? Yes?? Yes?? :-)

I take five weeks off to travel the world and smooch with sharks and we have blogging at work...This is good, because I wasn't wasting quite enough of my spare time tending to my farm and beating down rival mafias on facebook. I wasn't sure I'd have a job waiting for me let alone a blog to go with it. Good times!

New people? New in the last few weeks? People I just haven't managed to meet yet? I'm Sarah I work as a Sea Life keeper. You can find me most days smelling like fish and making kiss noises at my sea monsters and trying to get them to do my homework. I swear I can teach them to lift a flipper up for a vet exam but they can't write my report on their own breeding habits. Sheesh.

Anywho! Hi!
