Top 5s

Inspired by Jeff's skilled list-making, here are some of my top 5s on this frigid, clear Saturday morning (sorry, California central valley citrus growers. It's a bad morning to be one of you.)

Top 5 of Bunny Ownership:

1. Easy to litter-box train, easy to clean up after.
2. Bunny sprints around the apartment: adorable.
3. Bunnies have personalities. Bunnies are smarter than you think (those two count as one.)
4. Softest...animal...ever.
5. Fun to sit on the couch and watch movies with.

Top 5 Ongoing Difficulties I Face:

1. The language issue.
2. Metabolism slowing down, recovery time for hangovers slowing down even more.
3. Compulsion to try to be friends with everyone I meet.
4. Hate flying, don't want to have to travel for scholarship, totally have to eventually.
5. I'm constantly horny (sorry, overshare.)

Top 5 Academic Words (or Phrases) I Like to Use in Context:

1. Discursive.
2. Ontological.
3. Heuristic.
4. Logics.
5. Unmitigated Horseshit.

Top 5 Favorite Places in Santa Cruz:

1. The wooded paths of UCSC.
2. Steamer Lane and the lighthouse field overlooking it (surfers + otters.)
3. The Poet + Patriot (Harp + Guinness.)
4. My apartment: it's not tiny, it's CONCISE!
5. The Bunker.

I feel like the wind sort of left my blogging sails over winter break. I'm going to try to get rev things back up again and re-deliver the blog-cargo. I will deliver more mixed metaphors than a steam train to the top of the line!
