Today was a very rough day for me. I’m on a student expulsion panel, and the whole thing is just sad, sad, sad. THen I had to run errands, and the Christmas music almost killed me.

I had a brilliant idea, though. I went into Petco and looked at mice. There was non-seasonal music playing, and the mice were cute. It was very relaxing.

BTW, there is a beautiful short video on Zooborns, of a Beluga whale giving birth. Awe-inspiring.
