Day 6 – A photo of an animal you’d love to keep as a pet.
Well, as much as I love my little cat Winston, my choice for this category is obvious (at least, to me).
Yup, that's a baby three-toed sloth. Why, you ask, would I want a three-toed sloth as a pet? Because they are goddamn adorable. They always look like they are smiling. I assume they just want to chill all the time. They don't move fast, so it would be pretty hard for it to run away. They only poop like once a week, because of their very slow moving digestive systems! I just think they are so cute. This past summer, we went to the Baltimore Aquarium in the Inner Harbor with Zach's family, and the final exhibit is a quasi-rainforest type deal, and I literally gasped with joy when I noticed a SLOTH not ten feet from me, hanging out in a tree. I really love them.
Day 5 – A photo of yourself two years ago.
This is me at a Prop8 protest in Bidwell Park from fall/winter 2008. It was freezing and raining, but a lot of fun. Ah, the social activism of my youth.
Day 4 – Your favorite photograph of your best friend.
I don't think that I have just one best friend, but this blog is getting a little Zach-centric, so I will post a picture of my best girl friend. I've known Amber since I was in middle school, and I tell her everything. We live in different states now but we are still very close, and I always cherish the time I do get to spend with her in person.
I always loved this photo of us:
Day 3 – Your idea of the perfect first date.
Okay, I'm going to cheat a little on this one and describe one of the best dates Zach and I ever had. It would probably be an appropriate first date, I guess. It was fall of 2008, and we drove to Ellicottville (which is about an hour outside of Buffalo, NY). It is a ski town, and it has a bunch of little shops and restaurants and whatnot. It was a glorious fall day, sunny with just a touch of a nip in the air, and the leaves were midway through turning colorful. The first thing we did was to stop at a coffee shop and got snickerdoodle cappuccinos, with full-fat whipped cream and sugar and everything. Decadent. I think we also got some sort of cookie thing to go with them. The next thing we did was just walk around with all that sugar coursing through our veins, and proceeded to play in the leaves outside of some sort of building. We were 21 and 22 at the time, hahaha. The next thing we did was, upon it becoming evening, was to have dinner and drinks at the Ellicottville Brewing Company. I had a fish fry that was delicious and Zach had a steak that he said was disappointing. The best part was definitely the blueberry lager that I had. Yum. After that, we went over to a candy shop and got sponge candy, which is a Western NY thing. It's hard to describe, so I'll let wikipedia do the job. It is lovely.
That was basically the whole day, and I think it would be a nice first date for someone if it was a bit shortened. I'm not sure if you want to spend the entire full day with a new beau, but we had been together about a year at that point so it was fun for us.
Day 2 – A photo of something you ate today.
This is delicious butternut squash soup. I made it from scratch, from this recipe and it was so wonderful. It looks like weird, off-color baby food in this picture, but I promise it was amazing.
Day 1 – A photo of yourself and a description of how your day was.
Here's me, chilling out, maxing, relaxing all cool in my desk chair.
My day? Boring. It was the last day of Monday day classes, so I had Civ Pro II, Labor Law and Immigration Law. Came home, and made a truly delicious chicken and veggie stir fry to put over rice. I daresay it was my day's best accomplishment. After that I got going on outlining, which I am still doing (okay, I'm just taking a short break. jeez, cut me some slack, non-existent blog readers!). Time to get back to work. I've had four cups of tea in the last hour, womp womp.
Yup, gonna do this. Cool.
