Yesterday was definitely action packed. My friend Wassy and I were left alone because my friend Jay went to a LAN party this weekend. I didn't attend because of my desktop computer situation. Namely the total lack of one. Anyway, it wouldn't have been very fun for me to fight with the MacBook all day (and night)

Anyway…the day started early. The plan was to go out to the Syracuse Zoo and pick up my drunken penguin wine holder for my bottle of penguin labeled wine, then wander the Carousel mall for a bit, then head back to her apartment for some music listening, apple crisp baking and general hang-outing. I picked her up at her place and we headed out to Syracuse for a stroll around the zoo.

I had thought that the fact it was a little chilly yesterday morning would prevent as many people from showing up at the zoo with their screaming little kids. Apparently I was wrong. Instead, we ran into an entire tour group of little hooligans and their support staff. Bah! We got some time at the penguin cove alone though, which was nice because it rarely happens.

I know I have like 800 pictures of these penguins up here, so I only posted one additional one. They were all sitting on their rock warming in the Sun. I guess it wasn't warm enough out for them to be swimming all over the place.

After we finished looping around and looking at all the animal type things the zoo had to offer, we hit the gift shop where I was able to purchase my drunken penguin wine holder (pictured to the left) which is absolutely awesome. I need to come up with a better location to put it though now. I'll come up with something.

After that, we went over to the mall to grab lunch and do some shopping. I got to play with the new iPods over at the Apple store for a bit, which was cool, especially the Touch. My friend finally purchased something at William-Sonoma after years of browsing around there. I figured I'd record the occasion here so there's some proof if somebody doesn't believe her when she says she did it.

We were also on the hunt for the Game Cube remake of Resident Evil that my friend thinks that she's going to make me play a lot of. Hah! Anyway, we went two the two Game Craze locations out there and came away empty handed, but hit the jackpot on our way back to her apartment at a local shop Game Nutz (located in the same parking lot as a NASCAR store, it seems. There appeared to be an event happening while we were there). 

After swinging by a few local stores to pick up some baking supplies for her (and some apple cider for me…yum) the music listening and baking portion of the day began. She made Apple Crisp with some almond type topping stuff. It was good. We also found some more music type stuff she liked.

All in all, a fun filled, although exhausting day.
