2. My glass frames should be changed by today (or tomorrow.)
3. There are Snapeas in my kitchen. They are peas in the pod turned crispy and chiplike. I confess that I am addicted terribly. If Whole Foods was farther away I might be better off. I'm in there once a week buying crispy chip pea things for snacking away on.
4. It is raining.
4.5. I got my bathtub fixed so that it holds water for baths. I've just been coping without it for the last four months but with Mum coming down in May I figured she might want a bath or two whilst here.
Now if I get the several plugins that don't work fixed and the vent in the bathroom to shut up I'll only need maintenance if something dies.
5. Incubus put out their new song "Adolescents" yesterday and their album's coming out in JULY, which is at least two months earlier than anyone expected it.
6. Incubus's new song is terrific.
7. Muse the Movie may be getting a release date NEXT WEEK. Cue tears of unbelievable joy. I spent a good half-hour looking for when I mentioned it the first time...FEBRUARY 2009. That's how long I've been waiting. Over two years. I have been patient. I have kept the faith. And I'm getting my Muse movie soon.
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
8. If that illegal rooster next door doesn't shut up soon it's going to lose more than just feathers. It's daylight and has been for hours, so shut up. They're not supposed to have a rooster in Durham city limits anyway but apparently residential laws are for other people to follow. I understand why they ban roosters in cities-they're potentially vicious, they're noisy, and their presence is not necessary for having egg-laying hens. It also curbs cockfighting, which is a horrible thing to do to a rooster.
PS: For those that question whether I'm right or wrong on this issue, THIS was copy and pasted from the Durham City webpage (and yes, I have the right Durham.)
Durham City Council adopted a Text Amendment to the Unified Development Ordinance that allows citizens throughout the City to keep a limited number of female chickens (no roosters) for personal use with a permit and subject to certain standards.
I sent an e-mail to Animal Control. Let them make of it what they will. I hate calling the authorities on people but the damn thing needs to stop crowing. Hopefully they take it to a farm and give it a good home that's out in the country.
Ta,
Bec
PS: By the by, Bill the ficus plant is thriving beautifully. I got him a new pot about a week and a half ago and since then he's been sprouting leaves left, right, and center. Seems like he's enjoying the five minutes of conversation I try to give him every day when I water him. If he keeps growing like this, he'll need a new pot again by September or I'll have to prune him down so that he doesn't get out of control. I need to be able to fit him in the car!
Here's a picture of him today.
Actually the reason I took pictures of him today was because Sara insisted that he was dead last night and that I was hiding the truth from everyone. That's why this photo has a date stamp (otherwise she'd say the pic was taken last week or something.)
Maybe next time she does this I could prop up the daily newspaper next to his pot to prove he's still alive. Sheesh. The only reason my last plant died was because SHE kicked it over. Without her feet to threaten him with harm to his foliage, Bill's been doing JUST fine.
