i grow a lot of it for salad. the flowers are yummy, too.

dropped the mac mini off at the new mac store downtown, and for C$50 they're gonna look at it tomorrow.

bought new flannel sheets and a microplush blanket for the paramour. oh, so soft! i wholeheartedly support the recent microfibre boom (at least until i find out how ecologically unsound its manufacture is, in case somebody wants to share their knowledge with me).

I always enjoy your photographs, but something about this one inspired me to say so. Wish I knew if the silvery-gray colors on my screen were true to the original.

yeah, it's hard to say, though i edit my images so they'll come down in gamma somewhere between windows and mac. what are you using? if windows, the real colour is a bit lighter, if mac, a bit darker.

they're a very light cream, shading into silver because of the rain drops, and the fine lines are a very dark burgundy.

I love arugula flowers. Good thing, because it always bolts like crazy.

yeah; the first year i grew it, i tried to keep on top of it. some days i only had flowers in my salad! but it outperformed me no problem. maybe next year i'll take the garden shears to it.

Have no mercy!

And Idunno about microfiber, but I know some of the polyester insulation in coats is made from recycled bottles. (As you re-recycle, you generally go from food-contact allowed to body contact allowed to things like carpet padding.) Depending on your point of view that might be good, or it might be evilly enabling.
