It was a rock lobster!

Tomorrow is the true due date for the lab. Last week was a warm up. I have the lab done and am currently proofreading it. I will not have gone through the lab per-se, but I've done all the steps I've written down at some point in time. Let's up they like it.

Also, this.

Yeah, that's going to kick some serious ass.

Back to proofreading. Oh, and writing a set of PowerPoint slides (they're "due" in the same way the lab was "due" last week).

I live a pretty avant-gard life.

I hate Microsoft Office

and it hates me. Labs are due in two days and fsckin' Word freezes every time I open it.

Yet another hobby: Gardening.

That's right. As if home brewing, steeping, infusing, curling, mixology, photography, etc. weren't enough.

What plants do I have so far?

  • Areca palm (small)
  • Areca palm (medium)
  • Peace Lily
  • Norfolk Pine
  • English Ivy
  • Rosemary
  • Christmas cactus (it's just a little baby)
What's on tap?
  • Pineapple
  • Meyer Lemon (germinating as I type)
  • Cinnamon basil
  • Lime Basil
  • Peppers
  • Meyer Lemons
  • Ruby Red Grapefruit
  • Mexican (key) lime
I'm waiting for about 20 Meyer Lemon seeds to germinate. After germinating I'll place them in water bottles filled with soil. Eventually they'll make their way into a large pot as "dwarf" Meyer Lemons live inside during late fall and winter and outside during late spring and summer. In three to five years I'll have the sweetest lemons ever (no really! Meyers are a cross between lemons and oranges).

I'll post progress as appropriate.

I expect I'll have extra lemon/lime/grapefruit trees so if you want your very own citrus tree drop me a commnet or email.

Sign me up!

At the caucus, someone thought we need a new state flag and thought the party should support this resolution. There was very little discussion and went to vote. I was the only dissenting vote. Idiotic. There's nothing wrong with the state flag. Personally, I think it's way better than South Dakota's.

Discuss in the comments.
