30 days meme, catching up...
I’ve fallen behind with my 30 days meme, let me catch up.
Day 1 > Your favourite song
Day 2 > Your favourite movie
Day 3 > Your favourite television show
Day 4 > Your favourite book
Day 5 > Your favourite quote
Day 6 > Whatever tickles your fancy
Day 7 > A photo that makes you happy
Day 8 > A photo that makes you angry or sad
Day 9 > A photo you took
Not particularly pretty but I love it.
I love London, I can't wait to go back.
Day 10 > A photo of you taken over ten years ago
I don't have a scanner at home so I can't upload any embarrassing baby pictures (which mainly consist in a lump of baby fat - me- being smothered by some random dog).
Here's a picture of my workspace, instead. This is where I work all day and what a crappy laboratory bench looks like.
Excuse the poor quality (and the neon flash). It was taken to test my phone's camera; result: shitty camera.
Day 11 > A photo of you taken recently
I've got none. None that I want to show, that is, so I'll skip this one. Here's a picture of M.shadows, instead. He's definitively hotter than me (or anyone else on this planet) and there could never be enough arm-porn out there.
He's also got a perfect nose (and fingers, ears, lips, eyes, legs, ass, voice, nipples, big toes...), if I must say.
Day 12 > Whatever tickles your fancy
I'll go with a hobby of mine. Few people know that I actually have a good green thumb and that my apartment vaguely resembles an overcrowded green-house. I have a distinct preference for unusual plants and my last success was producing a little Ananas plant from a fruit I had bought (I realized that "Ananas" is not universal. It's a pineapple, btw). I also have an aloe , an agave, a few cactuses and a beautiful jade plant (not this one!)
The plants I cherish the most, however, are my carnivorous plants.
Right now, I only have a couple of crappy pics I took with my cell phone; one shows my Dionaea muscipula (Venus Flytrap) and the other a Drosera Hamiltonii with a beautiful curled flower stem. The flytrap should be a little redder but it spent the winter inside and it still needs some sun... I also have two types of Droseras (an Aliciae and a Capensis, a Pinguicula (which is putting out a flower!!!) and a couple of Sarracenias.) As soon as I can find one, I plan on adding a beautiful Nephentes to my collection.
They're pretty hard to grow, but amazing to look at.
Here's baby #1 (Drosera Hamiltonii):
It looks a little dry... It needs a few more weeks to put out all the glue after the winter. Baby Pinguicula on the right.
Here's baby #2 (Dionaea Muscipula classic):
The small blackened trap you see a little off center (left side) has caught a fly on the plant's first day out and it's digesting it. Hopefully it'll survive its catch and re-open! You can see a glimpse of one of the Sarracenias on the left and of the Drosera capensis on the right.
I shall take out my Canon and take some quality pics... We'll see, maybe this weekend!
