Oh, late to the game, but...

..."Gran Torino" is all kinds of awesome. I love those mean old faces only Clint Eastwood can make, and I love all that cussing he does. I laughed my ass off in places, and my eyes welled up a few times too...and I watched the credits all the way to the end, which I really never do. I wrote about this on Facebook, but I do really recommend this one ( Read more... )

Hey! sandor_baci August 15 2009, 17:18:13 UTC

Where's that blueberry progress report?

I've missed you.

Blueberries were off the chain this year. There were so many that I stopped picking, because my freezer is full. There are STILL more out there, I guess I should just go and pick some...soon. :) At least the birds are happy.

And I now have chickens to occupy my time...six of them. I'm currently getting 4 eggs a day, and much lols out of the whole thing.

I missed you too.

A clucky little harem.

Did you go for Rhode Island Red sex-linkeds, both meat and eggs, or those silly high-strung ovarian-overdrive egg-a-day Leghorns?

I like Barred Rocks. Ours never got too excited about anything, and they were dressy.

I have 4 ISA Brown and 2 Australorp hens. The ISA hens are sweet and friendly, while the Australorps, being a little younger and not laying yet, are shy and one is a little aggressive. I'm watching that bird, and it better not be a rooster, or away he goes. I pick them both up every day and hold them to my chest, put my hands on them and tell them they are MY birds, and they better watch their shit. Not literally, as they are all shit factories, but figuratively.

You sent me to Google for "ISA Brown" sandor_baci August 16 2009, 03:30:48 UTC

Turns out they're kinda sorta like what we kept when I was a pup. Er, make that "when I was an even younger pup".

We bought a hatching of Australorps once, or at least I think they were Australorps. Good birds but at one crucial point really, really tedious: My grandma was not about to eat EVEN ONE pinfeather. And those dark ones, against pale skin...

Big hug and nice to have news of you again. Don't go drifting away for so long the next time, 'k?
