i took inspiration from my cousin Lawrence yesterday and decided to do something i had never done before: make my own jello. he told me that he had once made jello with root beer and that the carbonation had been retained so i got a bottle of sparkling red grape juice and tried my luck.



the result definitely looks very pretty and it tastes very nice but, unfortunately, it does not sparkle. this leads me to believe that soda carbonation does not equal sparkling beverage carbonation.

next step: grape soda.

found two dead wasps lodged underneath the rear windshield of my car today. i have no idea how long they’ve been there although it’s obviously been long enough for the sun to bleach the black from their tiny, brittle corpses.
