Internet! Something amazing has happened. Something magical.
My garden has begun to produce food. From pebbles and dirt, we have created life!
And, you know, by life, I mostly mean beans. Interestingly, that picture above? I took that yesterday, utterly shocked at what I was seeing, because until about a minute and a half before I [...]
I’ve been so busy writing posts lately that I failed to post. Great job, self. That’s actually true, though–it’s not that I’ve got nothing to say, but rather that I’m in the middle of writing a bunch of ridiculously lengthy and involved posts about things like universal health care (for it), book piracy (for it, [...]
First, how is it that I’ve suddenly not posted anything in days and days? I feel like we’ve been both very busy and very tired lately, and apparently I’m right on both counts, since in my head, I’ve posted at least one entry that doesn’t actually exist.
Possibly also telling is the fact that Monday [...]
Today on my lunch break, I went to the mall.
This is not a journey that I undertake lightly. I hate malls. I hate how they smell, and I hate how they’re full of people, I hate how the lights are ugly and too bright, and the salesclerks are either invisible or breathing down your neck, [...]
First, the mystery berries have been identified! The brilliant crowd over at MetaFilter IDed them as mock strawberries. Nick and I tested that theory tonight by tasting them, and it seems that once again, the internets were right–pretty like wild berries, but no flavor whatsoever. I have to admit that I’m rather disappointed that they’re [...]
The internet, it seems, is in love with magic berries. As it turns out, so am I.
My idea of magic berries doesn’t quite mesh with the internet’s berries of magical sweetness.
We’ve been basically ignoring the lawn in the back of our house–first because it’s mostly weeds, and then because no one but us sees [...]
I’m sick, so bullet points, some of which will be expanded upon at a later date.
We saw Pixar’s Up on Monday, and it’s prompted me to get going on my long-threatened series of posts on why I don’t like Disney. So far, it’s looking like it’s going to be about seven posts, probably spread out [...]
Well, Internet, today I finally put my garden in. Apologies in advance for the weird photos–there was way too much light, and I compensated poorly.
A week or two back, I’d laid the groundwork for the garden, still believing that many, if not most, of my seedlings would be dead by the time that I [...]
