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!!

http://amzn.com/w/1JJ5698F1LCQMi'm pretty darn well and i hope you can say the same.  i woke up very hungover this morning but no matter, some water, ibuprofen and a pop tart and i was right as rain.  it was a strawberry frosted pop tart and it was delicious.  my favorite flavor is frosted brown sugar cinnamon.   i don't eat poptarts very often because they helped make me fat back when i was fat.

  my roomate, brian, is back in town as he found some freelance work.  this is good.  i like not having a roomate, but i like not having to pay the rent by myself much better.

my strawberries never came up.  boo-urns buzzy seeds, boo-urns.the rest of plants are well though, even with the loss of a tomato plant, but i put in two so that's ok.

i re-dyed my hair tonight and i think it looks mighty fine.  i am tired!  i didn't get home from work until 9:30 tonight.  emily's car got towed so vladimir had to go get her and i had to stay with the girls. we watched My Neighbor Totoro and they absolutely loved it.  I love them.  We went rollerskating today.  They skated.  I watched.  i really wanted to skate but i don't have skates yet.





do you have some extra money?  please buy me these roller skates or something else from my amazon gift list

ok i have to get ready for work.  here's some pictures from yesterday

evening greetings my dears.  you find me at an old haunt, the new school building over on 12th street.  i come here every thursday for my writing group and tonight i decided to stay on, after stopping at Murray's Bagels for a hot chocolate.  I highly recommend their bagels, but I do caution that the coffee is a much better choice than the hot chocolate, which is way too sweet.

i'm in some sort of waiting room on the third floor on the 11th street side of the new school building.  between the two sides there is a bridged walkway over the courtyard and tonight there seems to be some sort of lovely sound/art installation.  spent a few lovely moments in that diversion.  there are pieces of paper there and paintbrushes and jars of water.  i dipped the paintbrushes in the water and then drew on the paper, and then my drawings evaporated.
I like this waiting room. it is very quiet here.  ut-oh my cell phone made the sad bledoop sound that means low battery.  woops.

i'm working on my book.  i don't think the title will be staying the same.  it is called Three.  but i am not sure what it will be called ultimately.

i get to hand out with my friend dann tonight, which is very cool.  he's a smart fellow and i enjoy his company.  strong wit and very upbeat personality.

my firescape/window garden is growing strong with healthy and happy basil, tomato, and golden oregano plants.  the strawberries have yet to sprout and that's troublesome.  The kit I bought only came with ten seeds.   When I set out little seed pots of anything to germinate I like to fill up at least half a tray, lots more plants then ten because how likely is it that ten seeds are all going to come to fruition?  I think that was mad cheap of the buzzy seeds kit people


ok what just happened to my html to make this part in italics!  how annoying.  i really should learn how to script better instead of being lazy and relying on all this intuitive easy-pie blogging software because when it messes up I don't know how to fix it.


ok maybe I figured it out now... ha. whatever.
alright almost time to get back to work.  but first some pictures.
