Oh, the monsoons -- what summer rains we've had! My backyard gage says 1 and 1/2 inches just today. The amaranth is going wild, lush pyramid-plants of green that rise from the once-dust-now-mud, seemingly overnight. The lightning too. We sit and watch the storms coming from miles and miles away, barbs of white flashing silently through the sky until, suddenly, its upon us.

he he. now how is it you're just now ordering seeds? isn't it a bit late for that stuff? i don't do the gardening around here - that's my fiance's hobby. i wish i did, but i just can't get past having to cut worms in half and disturbing all those creatures who love the dark so much. how sad is that? i have a brown thumb anyway.
the photo of the dandelions was only slightly photoshopped to enhance the contrast a tad. but just a tad. they really were glowing like that. i can't remember - i think it was a nearby parking lot light that was doing it.

Due to the fact that your comment jumped topics really qick, I went to the link and thought you were sending me to a sperm bank. I had forgotten about my comment. Thank you though. I'll look into it when I get my domestic wind back.
i'm living off beer for the summer.
just barely hungry until sunset, eating toast and tea, coffee and french fries. it sounds worse than it is: they're good fries - with tons of veganiase (of course), good toast , with butter and honey and maybe tahini. but compared to the winter, i eat like a bird and drag myself listlessly around like a slug until...

My Three Point Essay:

New website == wierd.
Not bad, but...
Unexpected change sucks more than change. The sun goes up, the sun goes down... well, it actually stays put, more or less, and I spin in cicles, but that's not the point.
The point is that I know what to expect, more or less out of this whole sun-earth-moon fiasco.

Yeah, I've found the new site design slitely unsettling, but I am sure in no time at all, I'll have forgotten how easy it was to have most everything one click away instead of two or three.
You aren't writing papers about Vim/Emacs or LaTex are you? How absurd would that be, huh.
What sort of router do you have that gave you such fits you had to resort to telneting into it to fix it?
I can do the math and I know enough about football to know the us hasn't got a chance in anything to win.
life, huh.

you know, i couldn't understand half of that entry because a lot of it was in a language i don't speak - namely one that has anything to do with computers. so i'll simply give you a nod on the "people being messy" part and the "unexpected change sucks more than change" part. that was insightful even in its obviousness.

I've been the floating, conversationally promiscuous lately.
It seems like everyone is in this mood lately, everyone's about to leave on a long trip or just passing throu, looking for trouble.
I spent the evening with a different someone that I really dig. I got her sick, I do believe, last weekend when we took fungi and made out,...

I'm a big dork, a Rob Brezny/Free Will Astrology fan, and generally bonkers for Truth and Beauty.
Below are links to satellite images of Earth's Water that I just picked out from maps.google.com. They're True in that they're real, and they're beautiful to me in the shapes, the almost anumate spirit visible within each, a vibrancy of transformation.
We're in the 6th (i think) global...

This computer smells funny.
Smell is my new answer to everything.
I swung on park swings with a beautiful girl last night, who had the sweetest septum piercing and extravagent pisces shoulderblade tatooes, with the best smelling (unshaven/dark haired) armpits that ive smelled in ages...
Sandy is my favorite smell, like a fossilized beach.

she's dangerous! look out, i tell you! that's how i used to nab them... by swinging on swings with my victims and wearing the night like a second skin until they were absolutely gone... that's when i POUNCED! and those furry armpits are a sure sign she's intense across the board
but good for you for appreciating the way things are supposed to be.

Dead pigeons under both bridges, the interstate bridges that share flotsam with their perpendicular cousin I-40, o transcontinental ribbon safely and conscientiously divided down the middle by a chest-high wall of concrete or a swale of grass, cutting so considerately through neighborhoods to separate poor from white, conveniently carrying any wandering plague to far corners (everywhere we want to be).

mm, i like. a good balance of beauty and unease. the only line i can't get to work starts with "After all..." just can't make it make sense in my head.
what was your classmate giving a presentation on... the originis of pot? and hostels, i swear you can learn more in one night in a hostel than... um... than elsewhere. ever see L'Auberge Espanole? not that it really applies, but it popped in my head.
and what are you studying in school anyway?

why thank you. he's a keeper.
thank you for clarifying for me. i really enjoyed the piece and i wanted to understand all of it. as much as i want to go live in the wilderness, there is so much strangled beauty in urban settings. at least, inspiration. of course, i would find plenty to write about in the woods, but it would eventually grow isolated and insulated.

I live in the most odd of places. Yesterday it was sunburn hot, and today the wind was gusting at 50mph, a great dust-storm obscuring the East Mountains, grit in teeth and eyes, bits and some larger pieces of trees hailing down, would need ski-goggles to ride a bike.
