Entry #35: Chickens at Sea

Right now I feel so dedicated to my Wise project. It's currently sunny, not a cloud in the sky, and warm out (rare weather for Ithaca) annnd I'm sitting in the library in the computer lab with a guy complaining how he has no love life, another screaming at a computer game, and 3 very studious silent kids. And all I want to do is go outside and lay in the sun.

But I'm here.

So this is my macroresearch for today! I tried to find something about raising chickens on a boat, and I actually found a girls Nature Diary online. She lives on a yacht called Yacht Mollymawk, and she tried to raise chickens on a boat...unsuccessfully. Her friend gave her live chicks, but two turned out to be roosters, which the family didn't want, and the other one was very agressive. It's a very interesting piece, sort of a story, and I enjoyed reading it.

There's the link to the website I found it on. Safe to say this method of chicken raising, although not as successful, is much easier to read about than yesterday.

On that note: Yesterday my dad and I went to Wegman's to get some chinese food for dinner...and I stood in front of the General Tso's chicken for a while and just stared. You guys probably don't know that I absolutely LOVE General Tso's chicken.....but I couldn't eat it. It's not that I didn't want it, because I wanted it trust me, I just couldn't do it. Its the first time in my life where I just could NOT eat something. Besides beets. I just really cannot eat beets either, but that's a different story. Anyways...I don't know how long it will be but I showed my dad the video and he said we should start getting free range chickens instead of the regular ones in the supermarket. So that's a nice change, but I just don't know when I'll be able to eat chicken again.

So I guess I'm vegetarian? Thanks for that video Mr. Reiff :(
