Wow





These boxes appear to have been printed with some form of movable type!

Now used only on date stamps and letterpress wedding invitations. (Or can you think of anything else?)

Observed





Apartment-building cat wants to go out.

Why?





Why glue a flower onto a perfectly good cactus???

Abstract(ish) tattoo





More people should have these.

(I followed this girl around on the L platform until she stood still.)

Down the street



From the devil.

The problem with refusing plastic bags

You have no plastic bags.



What do you put your garbage in?

Our new solution: START COMPOSTING! "Trash" is dry so can go in paper bag; compost can go in reusable container (bag? bucket?) that we can empty at the park on Saturday when we go to the farmers market.

In the Canadas everyone composts . . . We're going to give it a go here.

(Once I figure out how to make decent yoghurt [not working!], we'll have the yoghurt-container problem licked. But there's still the juice-container dilemma!! We drink 4 or 5 plastic Red Jacket Orchards bottles a week. I AM NOT SURE WE CAN LIVE WITHOUT IT.)

Last night

Went for a run in the park with the Greg.

It smelled like exhaust, dirt was blowing everywhere, and there were dead-looking men lying on the path.



But—it was somehow still awesome!

(The best part was the "cool-down period" on the couch watching 24 and eating watermelon.)

Last-minute lunch



Two boiled aiggs, leftover rice that sat overnight on the counter, and half a concombre from the market.

Add hot sauce from desk drawer. Stir.

Put in mouth.
