elbalesI'm ridiculously behind on updates. So, randomly:
1. Teaching summer school. Last week was 2 of 6. It's going amazingly well and my students are both awesome and happy.
2. Saw Star Trek a few weeks ago. It was a giant steaming plate of meh with a large dollop of lamesauce and a generous side of crunchy-fried plot holes.
3. Summer fruit season. Mmmmm, fruit. Ooh, and there's the microwave announcing that my apricot crisp is done. It's better in the oven, but it's way too damn hot for that. Also there's corn cooling on the stove and my fridge is fully of excellent produce. I loves me some farmer's market.
4. Speaking of the oven, we've been baking bread pretty regularly. Niiiiice.
5. Hardi and I celebrated our twelfth anniversary last weekend. It was lovely. ♥
6. I've been reading a ton of good books lately. *is happy*
7. My container garden is flourishing. Some good lengths of chicken wire wrapped around the benches where the pots are sitting are keeping the cats out, so stuff is finally getting the chance to grow undisturbed. My first johnny-jump-ups and nasturtiums are blooming. Squee.
8. The cats are very well. Such a relief after the last few years of Locke's and Kiri's lives.
9. I haz an iPhone.
10. My arms are much of the suckage. :/
How's by you?

short answer: doing what i can with what i've got
Date: 2009-06-28 06:45 am (UTC)2. did you at least enjoy all the kirk-punching? i thought it was fan service.
3. year-round farmar is proof that we are peculiarly blessed.
4. i salute you. baking bread is admirable.
5. mazel tov.
6. another proof of being favored.
7. my container garden has succumbed. i got sick in june, and it never really recovered. also, much thwartage around wood chippers.
8. four cats, distinct personalities. the halloweens took a very long time to come in for the night. but we got to sit out on the deck in the cool calling them, so it's all good.
9. yay you.
10. suckage can be minimized with surprisingly little regular exercise. i'm a witness.
no subject
Date: 2009-06-28 08:44 am (UTC)re: 2. Actually, the most entertaining thing about the film are the gargantuan fanwars it caused in a chronically warridden community. (I grabbed some e-popcorn and went to watch that instead.)
re: 3-4. Yum! :)
re: 5-8. Congratulations!
re: 9. Really? I'm more tempted to wait and get the Samsung smartphone that is scheduled later this year; probably when my mobile contract expires early next year.
re: 10. :(
Hows by you? Things you talked about: above (number). Other stuff:
a) I recommend Yanoman puzzles. The smoothest, well printed puzzles I've come across. I'm currently spending my non-existent free time with 3000 pieces of yellow flower field in front of the Fujiyama. It's a good way for a visually oriented person like me to drag my thoughts out of work for a few minutes.
b) Tried the pineapple cake recipe with dark cherries (for lack of pineapples). Edible, but the purplish cake looks strange and it's too sweet for my taste, though granny loved it.
c) it's going to be too damn hot next week. I'm sick of summer.
d) read "Fables", the comic up to no. 51. Highly entertaining & funny. Wish, I could tell you why I enjoyed it so much, but that would be a serious spoiler. Will do, if you say it's ok, though. :)
e) there's another "fanwar" waging. This time about how to warn for trigger content in stories. Argumentation a lot like "R-F". *sigh*
f) hope to find more time to write.
:)
