garden update

Beets!

Hops!

Peas on my genius trellis! (Twine and a curtain rod)

Spinach!

Jalapeno!

Kale!

Mustard greens!

Wear a damn helmet

Before I am chastised by the awesome hair set about my new Bike Helmet Evangelism, learn this: I was in a crash two weeks ago yesterday that woulda killed me had I not been wearing one. So wear a damn helmet. I've hashed and rehashed this story, so check it out elsewhere, please.

So the accident and the attendant Oxycodone haze explain the lack of posting, right? Yep. That and the garden taking over my whole life. Pictures at eleven.

Virus attack - don't click on links from me

Hi folks,

I got virused. Please don't click on any links from me for the time being.

Best,

Turbo!

Taken at a party with a phone. Quality pictures to come, eventually.

Enter Turbo

The Scene: A birthday party for a friend who answers to "Creepy"
The Time: About a beer into it
The Cast: Myself, my roommate, a couple buddies

Enter TURBO THE CAT, who looks like my mom's cat, if my mom's cat had been left outside for a couple months.

TURBO
Meooow!

ERICA
Well, hell-O! (Starts petting TURBO. TURBO immediately starts head-butting ERICA, and showing a desperate need for affection)

ROOMMATE
(coos at TURBO)

TURBO
(works her way onto our laps)

FRIEND WHOSE APARTMENT WE'RE AT
Take that cat! She's my neighbors, and he's going to abandon her. On account of his eviction and his laziness, you see.

ERICA AND ROOMMATE
Oh great heavens! We must adopt her!

TURBO (From ERICA'S arms)
purrrrr.

Once said friend confronts the cat's neglectful owner, Turbo is all ours. Turbo is a new name. Old Owner called her Macaroni. Unacceptable.

Also, I've been at work for more than 2.5 hours and just now noticed the box of doughnuts on my desk.
