Sometimes I jot down notes about things to blog about so I don't forget them. Here's the current crop:
swapped curtainsfirst Arnold Palmer of the season.House debuggingBilly Mays?Gerard visit: Jumble Jong, Dr Horrible, Umbrellas, Star Trek, Train TownMaking ice cream, but ice cubes are taking longer than expected to freeze. Ice cream maker is tantalizingly visible, but inaccessible behind doors that are behind a stack of random stuff. Getting a lot of use out of the snow-cone machine. Time to buy some more syrup, in fact.Made a radio with Zack. Didn't work....At this point, I'm thinking meh. Too boring. I'll elaborate on a few things, though. When we heard Billy Mays had died, neither Ken nor I knew who that was. I was confusing him with Willie Mays, and Ken was thinking of Billy May. That tells you a bit about us, right there.
Jumble Jong is a really fun online game. It's part Mah Jong, part Scrimmage. Check it out, Mom! (I'm trying to get her to branch out from Free Cell.)
D. Gerard stayed over last weekend; we watched TOS (Spock's Brain, The Enterprise Incident) and Dr. Horrible. He recommends the film "
The Umbrellas of Cherbourg," which is strikingly gorgeous and also entirely musical. I'm surprised I'd never heard of it before. Someday I might work up the brain cells to watch it, but am currently very satisfied watching Avatar. Season 2 is really getting interesting!
Not much else going on. I moved my cactus (
night-blooming cereus) to a sunny part of the garden this summer, and in return it's putting out three flower buds, the most ever. I'm watching them like a hawk; they only bloom on ONE night, so if they look like they're going to pop I want to try to get out there and catch it.
Huh; I just read that cactus link all the way through. I haven't gotten any fruit yet! Usually the flowers just wilt and fall off. Maybe this time they'll develop further.

Your list is tantalizing. Cactus flowers are fun, aren't they? I know seeing the succulent flowers perks me up. Fortunately, they last longer than one night.
ooh, snow cones. I really should go ahead and get an ice shaver next time I see one at the goodwill. Or perhaps that one is still at the other thrift store. I think I'll be checking on Monday. I love cherry snow cones.
