Daisies

This is Victoria's hand. That is not Victoria's disco ball.

Lurid

Too many years of CSI.

The More the Merrier

On the seventh floor of a certain residence hall, Bats and I can often be found painting our nails and marathoning TV shows instead of actually doing homework. Last weekend was no different.

Joined by our friend Victoria, we embarked on a night full of the Teen Wolf and every nail polish that Vic and Bats had on hand. Which is a lot. As a result, we all have nails full of polka dots. Some of us more so than others because people who wear top coats under nail polish are silly. *coughBatscough*

Greens, Blues, and Pinks + a sticker of a storm cloud = April

No Spoilers

I went to a free screening of the Avengers movie tonight, and won a shirt! The shirt was too big, so (as per Victoria's suggestion) I'm turning it into a pillow.

Soon.

Re: Reason #2345 To Love The UW

Here's my picture of my Avengers screening ticket. OH, RIGHT. I DIDN'T GET ONE.

Reason #2345 To Love The UW

There were people giving out free tickets to a pre-screening of the Avengers in Red Square today...if you managed to answer two Avengers trivia questions correctly in a row. 

I got one. 

HOORAAAAAAAHH (this is my Hulked out scream of victory)

World Book Night 2012

Yesterday was World Book Night 2012, "an annual celebration designed to spread the love of reading and books."

I stood out in Red Square and handed out free copies of Markus Zusak's The Book Thief to other students passing by. It took around an hour and a half to distribute all 20 copies, which wasn't bad at all. I thought I'd be there for hours! Most of the people who took a book were pretty happy that it was free...except for this one man, who seemed particularly suspicious about the fact that I didn't want anything for the book, haha. It was a great experience, and I'm looking forward to doing it again next year.

All That Jazz

We went with our friend Victoria to Tula's Restaurant & Jazz Club last night. Unfortunately, I only managed to get a couple pictures of that day, since it was too dark inside. Maybe some other time.

Before leaving: a flower in a waterfall. How poetic.

College Life

"That's our motto!" "What's a motto?" "Nothing, what's a-motto with you?"

Pulp [Non]Fiction

"Mmm. Goddamn, Jimmie. This is some serious gourmet shit."

Pops

Somebody gave me this adorable homemade cake pop today.

Crepes on the Ave

Crepe Paris: Strawberries, bananas, nutella, chocolate syrup, and whipped cream. Lots of it.

Guilty Pleasures at Pike Place

Chocolate cream hazelnut piroshky and macaroons

We went to Pike Place again for piroshkies and little pieces of heaven, also known as macaroons. They also happen to be kinda pricey at $1.50 each, so buying an entire box isn't exactly the best thing to do on a college student's budget. Making them would be cheaper, but neither of us have a kitchen, so that's that. Someday!

Clockwise from top left: chocolate, hazelnut, lemon, and pistachio.
