viedma: I will rule the world! Emperor Cupcake! (At Least 3 Boxtops)
(shift key works only intermittently)

Today was my first day of vacation and it was so great! I pulled up all the rotten tomato plants, scattered corn gluten all over everything and mulched mulched mulched. And scattered newspapers and mulched some more, all the while listening to jimmy Carter's Our Endangered Values.

(for me, nonfiction takes less brain power to absorb, therefore I like to listen to it on audio and save the heavy lifting for fiction. fiction takes more imagination and I like to read it slowly. did i mention i miss when we used to have smart presidents?)

and i got rained on. i loved it. I missed the smell of mulch, love it, and worried a little that while I was digging it out of the free municipal pile that it was getting hot and...smoky? Good thing it rained today.

Next up on the audiobook list while i mulch, Barbara Ehrenreich's Bait and Switch. Easier to listen to than it was to read nickel and Dimed because I felt less sorry for the people involved. More than anything I want for people to wake up and say hey, it's not my fault that it sucks, so let's stop blaming ourselves and band together to change things. but instead they blame I-legal immigrants and welfare mothers. one of the few times I felt proud of my military unit was the time some dipstick came to talk to us about saving money and budgeting with such helpful things as eat nothing but popcorn for breakfast lunch and dinner! think of the money you'll save! we decided to eat her for breakfast instead. like i said, proud.

Because light travels slower in my world I still continue to enjoy Buffy. We're on to season 4. We love Xander and his sweet gay ways, we love Willow's outfits with their purty colors, and we loved Giles's sombrero ever so much, but we hate the 90s music. mommymommymommyitHUUUUUUUUUUUUUURTs.


spoilers for the last Lemony Snicket )

Vali made that knowledge all better by showing me THE CUTEST tHing In tHe WORLD. It is currently distracting me from the sheer ickiness Willow discovering Oz with gross girl werewolf.
