new router conquers staggering heat

yep, i’ve been away because it was just too hot to be in the room with the internet access, and the router was dying a slow death, and…so…things were just inconvenient. here i am, though, in an air conditioned room with a laptop, babble-ready.

what’s been occupying my thoughts (the ones not devoted to feeling hot and cranky) this evening is my relative level of sappiness. i have always been susceptible to sad moments in books, tv, you name it. in the past few days, though, i’ve gotten weapy eyes during an episode of jericho (we’ve been watching the series on netflix, like it a lot) one of battlestar galactica, and a chapter in closing time (which i am reading alongside of a collection of stories, though i am usually a monogamous reader)

right. anyway, i seem to be extra sappy lately. eh, i’m done thinking about that.

now i’m thinking about how many extra pots and bags of dirt i need to resettle all of the sprouts i’ve gotten from my seeds. the green beans and zucchini are exploding, and nearly every seed planted came up. the onions are about 3″ tall and arranged nicely in bunches, so they stay put. the carrots appear to be duds! disappointing. but meanwhile, i need to give the green guys some room to spread out or they will begin fighting. much like the murdering fish (who fought despite a complete plethora of territorial space and food) the greenies are unaware that they do not need to compete. i will care for them all.

i am interrupted by some gentle squeaking by salad. oh! have i written here that we adopted a new bird? more to come…
