A Spooktacular Friday Fiver

Ah, the most wonderful time of the year!

1. What's your favorite candy:
For being a future dentist, I have a riduculous sweet tooth. There isn't much candy that I don't like but my favorites are limited because I prefer chocolate and I don't eat gelatin which is not vegetarian-friendly. That being said, my favorites are Reese's Peanut Butter cups, Sour Patch Kids, Rolos, Sour Punch Straws, Peanut M&M's, and Heath Bars.

2. What's the best scary movie?
Scary scary movies give me nightmares so I avoid them like the plague. Josh, Holly, and I saw Monster House at the dollar theater the other night because it's Halloween-themed and got great reviews. It was hysterical and just scary enough. I highly recommend it.

3. Do you like to be alone at home?
No way, Jose. I still run up the stairs from the basement really fast even if I'm not home alone.

4. Pumpkin pie: eat it or throw it?
Definitely eat it though I will admit to having unfairly judged this harvest-themed dessert until I went to college. Having an all-you-can-eat dessert buffet every night in the cafeteria changes your mind about a lot of foods.

5. The most distasteful Halloween costume you can think of:
My sister and I are total Halloween snobs and can't stand the whole "sexy (enter any cuddly animal or occupation here)" costumes that everybody wears, like "sexy kitty" or "sexy carpenter." We joked that one year we're going to make "sexy _____" costumes from the most neutral items possible; she will be "sexy carrot" and I will be "sexy robot." As far as distasteful, I saw a guy wearing a white turtleneck with an attached stuffed tiger to his neck with blood spilling out the year that Roy of Siegfried and Roy was attacked.

Halloween party pictures to come soon. Don't forget to fall back an hour tonight! :)

A Bos-TON of fun!

It's been quite the hiatus on the ol' weblog lately but I'm definitely back in action now after a restful fall break. Josh and I had this past Monday and Tuesday off as a much-needed reprieve from D2 year and we spent a few days of our holiday in Ann Arbor and the rest in Boston. We had a great time in Beantown (my third trip there since last August!) and got to meet up with my sister, try on some great wigs, see the incredible and humbling Body Worlds exhibit, and go whale watching. It was great to get away from school and Ann Arbor for a few days and what better welcome home gift is there than a shortened week? :)

At any rate, I'm trying to keep my chin up for the rest of the semester as fall break marked the half-way point. Thankfully I've got Halloween and Thanksgiving to look forward to and tonight I'm going to make a construction paper chain for our class marking the days left until our conglomerate medical science course, IMS, is over. My quality of life will get a little better with every tiny rip of that chain...yahoo!

I've posted a handful of pictures below from a recent tailgate, a night out on the town, and our trip to the Commonwealth. Enjoy and happy hump day!

Josh and Scott at the D2 food tent; lets just say that I spend a lot of time around this table at the tailgates


Lookin' tough in Rick's leather football helmet


Me, Melissa, Stacy, and Katrina at the Jug after a looooong week


At least we know now that she'll look great when she's 80


I must admit to being tickled by this purple bob wig


Hey, hey, he's a monkey...


Ridin' the T with TKP


We explored this ridiculously expensive light fixture store in Back Bay...and made sure to touch nothing in the process


A gorgeous autumn day at Fanueil Market


I very seriously considered purchasing this hat


This guy's fluke doesn't seem so big...until you look at the size of the people on the boat!


A fluke and a dorsal fin!
