Also…

Tomorrow is the first of May. There is no need for temperatures to be this cold. Freeze warnings that cause me to have to cover my plants are simply unacceptable. Please do something about this, ASAP.

Why Funeral Homes But Not Nursing Homes

To answer the question that wasn’t quite asked… (more…)

Really Good Stuff

Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter. YUM! Best on whole wheat toast or toasted English muffins.

Rhododendrons and More

Got some gardening in this morning, including giving the front and side areas a good watering. Which is why it’s pouring down rain right now. Regardless, I got some more flower pr0n. I can’t seem to get a good picture of the white bleeding heart, and several other pictures turned out spectacularly crappy, but I got a [...]

I LOVE Surprises!

And I got a good one today… Potato Flour from Anne! Now I can try Jim’s pizza crust recipe and see if it compares to the one I’ve been using. Hopefully next weekend. (Michael’s in Canton OH today, and then tomorrow we’ll be in MD for the viewing.) I’ll try to remember to take pictures–and hope [...]

Ew! Plant Sex!

Came home today to find the remains of a plant orgy all over the front yard. There’s been pollen all over the car every morning for the past week. But you know what? These are things I can most definitely live with. Also, two new flower pr0n pictures. The camera ate the bleeding heart pictures, and it [...]

Enemies? You? No! How Could It Be?

I’ve been a bit ranty recently, so this is to make up for it.

Thanks a Lot Garrison

A year ago when the university selected a new President, a lot of people–including a number of faculty and staff–voiced concern about Mike Garrison. They worried about cronyism and his links to state politicians and his links to the Board of Governors who selected him. Unfortunately, a year after his selection, he has placed WVU in [...]

WV Politics – Not for Sale

For the first time since I’ve been voting in the primaries, WV is going to have a say in the presidential primaries. This means that for the first time in years, lots people are going to actually be voting in the state and local primaries. Which is why I would like to point out that Chief [...]

Speaking of Things that Amuse Me…

I got a stats widget for Word Press, and it shows all kinds of stuff, like daily visitors, top posts, and, of course, search terms. First of all, I find it disconcerting that people are searching for me. Second of all, it says something about Morgantown unfortunately, that people need to search out slumlords (answer for [...]

Random Bits

Elephant cam! This is the best thing I’ve seen all day. Elephants are the coolest animals ever. Users rebel against Windows Vista. Well, duh. Vista sucks, that’s why. Here’s the petition. Think Geek office products. I particularly like the paper e-mail, mostly because I think there’s a memo pad floating around here somewhere. And not [...]

Small Steps

I’ve finally been able to get up early to spend time writing first thing in the morning. I think the new alarm clock helps–the gradual light wakes me up gently, which is really nice. Yesterday I didn’t even try to work on my story. This morning I got a couple paragraphs written. Not fantastic, but it’s [...]

Context Is Everything

There are lots of things one sees around here that make sense in context, where students are studying health care. But can you imagine going to English class, and having an entire box of disposable vinyl gloves sticking out of your backpack?

Random Latin

Some more phrases from my Latin calendar: Dummodo sit dives, barbarus ipse placet So long as he is rich, even a barbarian is pleasing Edo ergo sum I eat, therefore I exist Est ars etiam male decendi There’s an art even to speaking evil Eventus stultorum magister The result is the instructor of fools Felix qui nihil debet Happy is he who owes nothing Esto quod [...]

Last But Not Least

Lasts aren’t something people think about a lot. First are always important: first steps, first kiss, first job, all those momentous occasions we prepare for and remember, hopefully fondly. But lasts often pass by without knowledge, and when you go back to think about it later, you’re often not sure when the last was, you just know [...]
