Life, Love, and the Pursuit of Nerdiness
No, not the movie. Me! I’ve been crazy about books lately and so I spent a good chunk of my day in my big chair, with my cats, in my PJs, reading! Later in the day I went to see 17 Again, which was great. Then I went back to reading!
The Alienist is great!
I dropped by Borders to check out books and buy another book light. While there I picked up Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. It’s getting a lot of hype and I can’t wait to dive in and experience a zombie-destroying Elizabeth Bennett!
Best. Book. Cover. Ever.
A fairly long time ago in a galaxy not at all far away I got engaged to be married. Getting engaged was fun and filled with promise. Some friends of ours held an engagement party for us and at said party my dear friends Amanda and Jeremy gave us a Bamboo plant. It’s the one and only gift that I remember getting from that event and the one that meant the most. Probably because Amanda told me that “it’s supposed to bring you good luck,” and I for one don’t want to mess with a force like bamboo.
So I nurtured that little plant as I planned my wedding, and it flourished after the big day had come and gone, and by the time we were moving apart and splitting up it was thriving.
September 2007
My bamboo plant was one of the first things I took to my new apartment. I swore to myself that it would live on even if my marriage did not! Well a year and a half later and an apartment that isn’t conducive to keeping items out of two little cats’ reach, my bamboo is….what’s the right word….ill, sparse, decrepit, desperate?
Sad Bamboo... 4/23/09
So now it’s been moved to my office, where it will live with the only other plant I’ve managed to pull back from the grave time and time again.
I call him "Spidey"
After a little trim and little verbal love (I’m not joking), I think it’s already looking better.
Feeling a bit better the next day.
I suppose you could call my bamboo a metaphor for my heart, but that’s much too serious for a Friday morning.

It's gonna thrive again!
One of my favorite things…
I got this logitech sounds system for Christmas. It is mobile and can run on a battery when unplugged. I love this thing. The sound is rather incredibly and I can take it to where ever I am in the house.
Playing one playlist after another.
