Elephants on parade!

No, I'm not talking about the seriously obese tourists flooding the streets in Time Square.
The Circus is in town!

No, seriously.

And I just heard from a co-worker about this (here is another one). How cool is that?! Unfortunately, the elephants walked through mid-town Manhattan last night, but you can bet I will be there to see it next year. She said it was one of the most amazing things she's ever seen- and rightfully so! Elephants on the streets? Even that is enough to make New Yorkers stop and take a look.

And speaking of animals, I need to find a new favorite (the panda will always be near and dear to my heart, but it's time to pick out my own favorite not just because it's my sorority mascot). I'm leaning towards the elephant (mainly because I have a memory like one. j/k. . . no seriously) but I have been noticing a large jump in the popularity of the owl (I've had 3 people ask me to make one) although, I don't want to jump on the bandwagon. I've always said in my next lifetime I want to come back as a Beta fish (I like the idea of not being able to share my tank with anyone and I'd be reallyyyy purty) but I don't know if I'd say fish are my favorite. It's a lot to think about.

What's your favorite animal?
