Dishes, Hookahs, and T-Rexes

Tue March 6th: Somehow all my life I've escaped running a dishwasher. I've either lived at home, where I rinse and put dishes in the washer and my mom will usually start it up, at college where the dining hall dishes are done for you, or in apartments with broken washers where I would use disposable utensils and plates, rinsing and washing what ever nondisposables in the sink.

Well I taught myself how to use a dishwasher today. Apparently you get that dry soap and pour it into the largest cup that the dishwasher door has. Then you close the cup up (I think, at least thats what I did...) and lock the thing shut. Then hit the best sounding wash... like "hot heavy rinse" and press start. Dishes will be clean soon! (I'm still shakey on how much time it takes...)

Wed March 7th: I tried a Hookah this evening, which is essentially smoking flavored tabacco. The flavors aren't that strong, nor is the taste, and the only effect really is that the taco you eat that night will taste vaugely like strawberries and coconut. Yuck. It was kind of boring, actually, I wonder what everyone enjoyed so much about it.

Thur March 8th: Tyrannosaurus Rex had a lifespan of up to 28 years old. I have always wondered how long they lived. Every time I tried to ask a scientist I would never be able to phrase the question right. "How old were most T-Rexes when they died?" Often the answer was "65 Million Years Ago".
