A goat and a slinky

The Blogger profile asks you a random question. I tried to answer in my profile, the point of the darn thing, but it was too long. It's a blog post instead, now.

"You're trapped in a well with a goat and a slinky. Describe how you will escape."

Goats will eat anything (or so cartoons have told me). I get the goat to bite the slinky in half, put the two halves together to make a whole, put the hole in the wall of the well and tunnel upwards, with the goat eating the dirt as we climb. After our escape, the goat and I become celebrities as well as bosom buddies, until we have an epic falling out over the issue of an interview the goat has done with the New York Post on the subject of our Miracle Tunnel Escape, in which the goat takes full credit for my escape plan. We are eventually reconciled in a surprisingly touching, often-played-in-reruns episode of the Daily Show. Our relationship is stronger than ever, and I will be named godmother to the goat's first and fourth kids.

All the things...

One of my goals for this (school) year was to cook/food prep more. I haven't gotten off to a very good start, but yesterday I made lunch - sauteed broccoli & cauliflower with truffle oil & dried rosemary, with a handful of cherry tomatoes & some almonds - and this morning I made a smoothie out of kale, a Shingo pear, half an avocado, some almond milk & the spiciest fresh ginger I've ever eaten. And both were delicious. Too delicious to wait and take pictures. Oops.

Other life things right now include that I took the GRE this afternoon and while I won't get my real scores back for a while, because I took the revised one, the estimate given based on the old paper-based version was 700-800 verbal and 530-630 math, which I'm okay with because hey, I really legit didn't study so I can't really expect better. Do hope my essays were decent.

Now I need to focus on all the things, allllll the things, and fit into that choosing what grad programs to apply for, and getting letters of rec, and and and and and.
