Mussels

so i just had a strange urge to blog right now. i was looking at this food site just to find interesting ideas or cool pictures of food. then i saw some cooked mussels, usually i wouldn't care and just keep scrolling down. but now i kinda get a bit sick at looking at cooked mussels. why? because the lab i had this week we had to open up a mussel, killing it, and observe it's parts and what not. i dissected a mussel before in high school but that was preserved dead mussels. in lab this week i didn't even kill it. my partner did, i think because we watched it die and it took a really long time and it was moving and squirming. you could tell it was in pain and we couldn't kill it any faster. at the time i felt a little bad but there are more mussels in the sea. i just can't look at cooked mussels for a while now. or maybe cuz i ate a lot and my stomach is being sensitive. i don't know.
