garden growing wild

GOOD NEWS GUYS!  i get to stay in my apartment.  came to an agreement with the landlord, very reasonable rent.  this is nice and relives a buncha stress for brian and i.  here's some more pics of the garden.  we have basil, tomato, catnip, oregano and strawberry plants.






in other news, i'm making great progress with my novel, three, and expect it to be completely done with my second and final round of edits by the close of the month.

other important things to do this month include: work, attend doctor's appointments as scheduled, read more literature and less trash, clean my room, attend kickboxing more often, wake up earlier and go to bed earlier and what else?  who knows.  it'll come to me.

tonight i'm having dinner with mir-mir at ATHNOS in manhattan.  It's restaurant week and it should be just lovely.  i'll let ya'll know what I think of it.

i really need to shower.  i should also do laundry but i'm not sure there is time.  i have an appointment at 5:45 near fordham plaza and i best get my things together and do my edits for the day.  i already did my exercise to the tune of 5k of running and 5k of biking.  the latter was much easierthan the former!!

Today's Dinosaur is: Quetzalcoatlus!

Quetzalcoatlus

 This dude is hugemongeous!  He's named after Quetzalcoatl, the feathered serpent god of the Aztecs.  Quetzalcoatlus is a total badass.  He's got a forty-foot wingspan: wings as big as those on the first plane brought up into the skies by the Wright Bros.  Extreme bad-assery.  And it doesn't stop there my friends, no.  He could take off from a standing position, stock still, leap into the air with a mega-push-up, like a vampire bat.  This becomes even more super impressive when you realize dude was as tall as a giraffe. so you see this giraffe guy walking around on all fours and then he squats and push ups and flaps away?  You would toally poop your pants in amazement.

Yeah.  Quetzalcoatlus is the coolest.

In other news I have a buncha stuff to do today so I better hop to it.  MORT IS DEAD (my crayfish.)  lahsanna (my turtle) ate him.  It is very sad.  Muy triste.  So obviously Lahsanna is hungry.  Prime directive for this afternoon: go to my bank and deposit rent check, go to other bank and pay rent.  Go to library and get new books (this might have to wait until tomorrow) and come home and get gorgeous.  My friend Ewaen and I are going to our friend Niyi's wedding, in Connecticut.  This will be my first African wedding and I am very excited to be going.  Niyi is Nigerian and his bride from the Ivory Coast.  Should be some awesome native clothes and foods and maybe dancing?  Neat!
