Just started watching American Beauty for the first time in my life (don’t worry, it’s paused). Apparently it’s supposed to be good, so we’ll see!
All that keeps coming to my mind is the image of Matty the Sloth:
Ok, so I know it’s not rose petals, but hey, I’m not gunna say no to this gorgeous little man.
On the topic of love and flowers, I really like this v. cute brooch from Etsy!
You are a sloth. You’ve climbed onto the wrong branch and have become prey! You are now at the bottom of the food chain. The only way to defend yourself is to throw faeces at the attackers! Download for iPhone and iPad.
I’ve been demonstrating and helping out with the undergrad practicals this semester. It’s only two weeks in and I’m exhausted! I haven’t done any of my own work and am definitely falling behind. Tonight I sat down (at 9:30pm) to do some marking, and realised I’d left everything at work. So that was useless. Feeling a bit run down! But just thinking of the (good) money that will come to me at the end of it. Short term pain, as they say. Might as well make me earn it!

Doza is all ready for Winter (only a couple months late, as a sloth should be) with his cute new green cardigan!
Watch this documentary by biologist Nick Baker on finding a wild three-toed pygmy sloth in the mangroves of Panama. Whilst two-toed and three-toed sloths are fairly abundant in the wild, pygmy sloths (about 40% the size of a normal three-toed sloth) are critically endangered. Only around 100 remain in the wild.
Skip to 39 minutes in for the finding of the pygmy sloth.
