Jason and I did his taxes. He thinks the government sucks. Mostly, this is because he sold some of his mutual funds and reinvested the money in gold--like gold coins that are stashed away in our apartment. Of course, this money shows as income on his tax return. Yikes. For the record, government? There is absolutely no incentive to invest and ( Read more... )

I decided there must be something to sleeping in front of the patio door in the sun. Ferguson does it all the time, after all. So, after a shit day at work yesterday, I came home and curled up with a pillow and blanket in the floor where the sun shines in through the sliding glass door. I slept until 9:00pm. I'm sure Jason wondered what I was ( Read more... )

I haz birds! I put the feeder out yesterday evening, and when I came home for lunch today there were five very pretty little House Finches on it. They all were sporting a bit of red, so I can only assume they were all fellows ( Read more... )

I met Farmer Monte! I played it cool, but I was totally jazzed because he's like a celebrity to me.

Farmer Monte is the fellow who runs Los Poblanos Organics. He's an organic gardening guru. I get my weekly CSA produce boxes from Los Poblanos, and they are the best thing ever. Anyway, I switched the pick up location this week, and Farmer Monte ( Read more... )

I finally broke down and bought matinée tickets to Watchmen last night. I love movies, but I don't enjoy going to the movies. It's a cold day in hell (which happens approximately two times a year) when I actually enter a movie theater. The film was fantastic; I really enjoyed it. They followed the graphic novel closer than I thought they would ( Read more... )

I'm a huge fan of Greek yogurt. It's thicker and creamier than the yogurt we're accustomed to eating. I discovered it about a year ago, and I can no longer eat the little cups of Dannon or Yoplait. They taste like flavored water in comparison. The trick with Greek yogurt is to put a tablespoon of honey or agave nectar in each cup of yogurt and ( Read more... )

First, I'm totally write fic again. Totally. It's Nine/Rose. It's a bit rough going, but I'm getting there and even enjoying it. Now I just need to find a beta, which is rather daunting since I don't know anyone in the Nine/Rose sector of the Doctor Who fandom.

Los Poblanos Organics that I mentioned in this entry? Totally joined it. Yay! It ( Read more... )

OMG - I so want to join this CSA. Desperately. Twenty-eight bucks a week for a box of organic vegetables isn't much, right? You have to commit to at least four weeks, but everything looks so tasty, and I love fruits and veggies. Plus, they're going to be organic, locally-grown fruits and veggies. I've nearly talked myself into shelling out the ( Read more... )
