moving v-e-r-y slowly

some of you thought the previous picture was a slime mould. it wasn't, but this is a slime mould, the scrambled egg slime (fuligo septica) probably. to doubly tie it to the previous post, this slime is also sometimes called dog's vomit slime, especially in the later stages when it turns more brown and differently textured. allegedly some people in mexico eat it, though considering they call the dish "caca de luna" i am not so sure whether that's not a rural myth for gringos.

no walk today. 'twas a nervous energy day, with random bursts of short-lived energy, which i actually put to good use by doing loads of tiny chores around the house and yard, and consequently feel rather accomplished.

yesterday's photo is a closeup of fermenting cream on top of a thin leftover layer of coffee with cocoa. not quite 4 months old, BC -- after 4 months it would have all dried out; this is less than a week old.

Hee. Both slime mold AND dog vomit in one fell swoop!

As for the coffee w/cocoa... Not nearly as gross as I'd have expected it to be.

yeah, to me that's not gross at all, but some people reading are more sensitive. i seem to have share young boys' fascination with all things gross. :)

My internal guess for yesterdays (or N days ago) was correct.
