Bits and Bobs, not Pieces and Larries.
If anyone ever complains to me about their computer crashing from this point on, I shall laugh in their face. I have crashed my computer somewhere between fifty and fiftymillion times to-day. Each time was because I had the audacity to think that my Brand New Computer should be able to multitask- excepting once when the power went out and the computer shut itself down, which it wasn't supposed to do! That's why I have that big battery surge protector thing. WMM is for crap.
I planted a few herbs, but like my mother I am feeling very ignorant of the horticulture here. In other words, I dunno wha's gon' grow and what ain't. There are a bunch of old terra cotta pots, which I love, under our deck that I used for potting. I tried to be safe so I planted two Oreganos, three parsley, a cherry tomato, and ... I think that's it. After reading a bit more I think I'm going to try Rosemary(which I miss from our sprawling bushes of it in Cali) and Basil. Lavender would be nice but I don't know what its chances are.
I saw the Aviator last night and would anyone mind telling me why it won ... anything? It was good, and LeoDC was good although maybe a little miscast, but it wasn't remarkable. The best part of the entire thing was Cate B.'s portrayal of the Great Kate, despite looking very little like her. I didn't like her at first, but I think it was mostly just the hair because later on I liked her quite well indeed. I think Leo still looks too much like a baby boy to play a character that ages through the movie. Not a very believable forty-year-old. The cinematography was nice in a few places though. Anyway I was a bit let down. -- G 'Bye, Sonya -- . ( 30.5.05 ) .
