Lazy lazy lazy afternoon

So I had the afternoon to clean up my garden a little and thought I'd introduce ya to my friend. These are the guys that make me smile every afternoon I drag my ass in from a long day at work. Besides, I'm a proud parent of plants. I have my Snap Dragons in yellow and red,





My Million Bells that are going a bit wild in the pot.



And my oldest friend, the fern I bought when I moved in here almost two years ago.



Let me tell ya, having a plant is like having a kid at times. I'm currently trying to bring one little guy back to life, suffering the loss of my Delphinium (although one is struggling back to life I think) and trying to keep the bugs from devouring everything. Gives me something to take care of really. Something to piddle around with but it becomes a bit of an obsession if you start into it. I prefer to use bugs like ladybugs, lacewings, praying mantis to keep the garden pest under control and that's kinda funny in itself. I'm afraid when I do get my mantis that they're going to be eating the ladybugs if I release them too soon. Garden warfare indeed!

So I did little yesterday other than going to the Metaphysical bookstore with my friends James and Jeffrey and today, I've been too lazy to care about anything really. Well, not true. I raked up the garden, cut stuff back a bit, fed and watered, and pissed the afternoon away here on the internet. Slowly I'll have this little site the way I want it, learn all the ins and outs. Just really wish that I had another day or two to just kick around. I'm not ready for Monday really.

My Mondays tend to start on Sunday night when I go in to do an inventory and make lists of what we need, or rather I need, to buy for the following day. Doesn't really take long but it's just the act of going in and doing this that bothers me to some degree. Means that I'm already at work, even when I'm off work and we're closed. Ah....to win the lottery and not have to work for a while.

Put a few links up for folks that I read. I have to warn ya that Not That Boy can have some interesting picts up on his site. He's a porn star in New York. Can't say I have met him, but he seems like a nice enough guy. Kinda fun to see what the life of a porn star is like ya know? The other sites are pretty much my friends. System Buster I don't actually know but I read his live journal. Again...seems like a nice enough guy and now I'm kinda hooked on his site for some reason. Go fig.

Ah the hour is drawin to a close here and still haven't gotten around to cleaning up here in the studio. Maybe I'll save that for tomorrow night after I get back from my trip back to the shop after work. Ya know, I spend WAY too much time at that damn shop, but I'd hate it if I weren't there as well I think. It's sort of like my own personal version of Cheers (which I actually didn't like when it was on). It's a bunch of folks that I know that all know me, bunch of regulars I see every morning of the week and share a couple of jokes with...or sneers at when they aren't looking (yeah I'm a stinker).

Perhaps I'll see if I can get more interesting life material going, but in the meantime, I have some cds to start creating, and there's always video games that need playing. After all, how can you resist being Bobby Drake the Iceman kicking The Toad's mutant butt? Gotta love a superhero.


And one day I'll figure out how these fonts and sizes work, I swear.

Thanks. It keeps me happy and busy at times. Probably post more picts as things start to really bloom.
