When dealing with red jello, i put cherry flavour on the one end (my least favourite) and raspberry jello on the other end (my most favourite). We have lots of jello at home, so I made cherry to get rid of it so that we won't have any and now we only have good jello's left. (Sorry all you cherry fans, I don't dislike it, i just prefer strawberry, and raspberries kick every other fruits butt.) (Except maybe passionfruit. That's really yummy too.) (And sometimes guava.)
But RED JELLO is the topic of today's question, so back to that. I only really mentioned flavour on the off-chance that cherry is bizarre. I shall let you know once i make the next berry jello, which will be strawberry, so that i can save the best for last (raspberry). (In case you missed that.)
Anyway the point was that I MADE CHERRY JELLO. Oh, it's also Jello Brand, if that matters to any of you doing your jello experiments in the future. And it's the no sugar kind, it's got the fake sweeteners. Maybe those are to blame. Just mentioning this to be specific, you know, for you science types out there. Or in case you wonder what kind of jello my mum buys me when there's a jello sale. I know some people really like to know every aspect about my jello eating habits so that they can emulate them and be as cool as me. But in this case i'm being less cool, eating cherry flavour and all that.
As I was saying about my CHERRY JELLO. I swear, i'm getting there. Wait, i'm lost. Oh yah. Jello. Cherry. And i made it. Okay. So i made this cherry jello, and poured it into different size cups (you know, some people want lots of jello, and others just a bit, so i decided on glass size variations to accommodate for everyone's jello portion preference, as I can be very thoughtful like that. So now you've got these cups full (or half full, for those only wanting a smidgin) of cherry jello. Now, to be heaLthy, I like to put fruit into my jello so that i don't feel bad about eating it all. (Note to parents: To be fair, I made it TWO DAYS AGO! It's not my fault it's all gone, you had plenty of time to eat some!)
Finally, this brings about my question: Oh wait. I forgot to tell you about the fruit. I put RASPBERRIES into the jello. We didn't have any cherries, so i couldn't use those. Oh, and they were frozen raspberries. Okay so my question: Why is it that now, when I eat my CHERRY FLAVOURED, ARTIFICIALLY SWEETENED, RASPBERRY SPRINKLED JELLO, that the raspberries have gone from raspberry coloured to a sickly, faded pale ghost of a raspberry colour? It's like they were bleached! what happen?

Weather
Yesterday it was 7 degrees c, raining, and dark in Oakville/Burlington. Today it is -1 with light flurries. January's average high for Toronto is -2. Jan 1 this year was a Toronto record for warmest new years day at 12 degrees. But don't worry, fellow Canadian's, with Stephen Harper in charge, Canada is making great environmental changes, like cleaner oil sands.

A Letter on Tetanus
Dear Dr. von Behring,
Thank you for working toward and successfully discovering a vaccine for tetanus. I understand that you are long dead now, but you see, since your work, very little has been done to improve on your vaccine. Needles have gotten much smaller and cleaner, and they mix other vaccines in with the tetanus now, like for whooping cough. So I can't even imagine how painful the vaccination procedure would have been in your time, over 100 years ago, with those big huge glass syringes. But there is still a problem. I had my needle on monday, 2 1/2 days ago. My arm still hurts. Do you see the problem? Since your demise, no one has cared to improve the world of vaccines. Getting a needle is a little medieval. Hurting my arm for the greater good (stopping the spread of diseases through vaccination) is super uncool.
In a nutshell, sir, you have to come back. We need someone inventive and knowledgable to find a different way to administer the vaccine. Say, a patch, or pill, or strawberry flavoured chewing gum.
I hope life beyond the grave is restful, but surely a man of your intelligence must be bored of being dead for so long, and can see the urgent need we have of you; that is to save us from tetanus shots. It really is your responsibility, seeing as you made us get them in the first place. I sincerely hope this message resonates with you enough to assist in your return to life.
See you soon,
Jackie

Hugo, or I Don't Like 3D Films
Today I did not work. Isn't that lovely?
My bf came to see Hugo with me in the theatres, which made me very happy. I enjoyed it, but it is yet another movie that didn't have to be in 3D. I do not like 3D movies because they are pointless and make me dizzy when the camera pans. It was, however, the first 3D movie i have seen since my laser eye surgery. I have very little foresight, so before this, all the 3D movies involved me wearing the 3D glasses over my own pair of glasses, as I never thought to put in contact lenses before hand. In that respect, this viewing was much more comfortable; but still silly. I really hope this 3D thing is just a fad. I like 2D. People should not jump out of the screen because people do not jump out of real life. Plus, part of the point of motion pictures is to appreciate to artistry of the shot, which you are distracted from when a person is walking toward you out of the screen. Also, they only come out of the movie screen like they are shot in the movie, which is often only a head and torso shot. What, I ask, is the point of a head and torso floating out of the screen? Until they can holographically insert legs and have the actor walking ON HIS/HER LEGS through out of the movie and right past you through the theatre, let me enjoy my 2D!
Otherwise, the movie was fun, with a bit of history thrown in, some doggies, ben kingsley, sacha baron cohen, and clocks and trains. Some parts were a little slow, but I liked it overall.
