Sunday afternoon. So lazy. Nothing brilliant here. Coffee tastes like shit today. (It is shit, Austin. Oh, well, it’s not just me then… It’s a bit nutty.) It was in my thermos all night. Reheated, it tastes charred, scorched, burnt. It’s mostly hazelnut cream with a few Belgium chocolate beans dropped in. I ground it in the decaf grinder at the store in a mundane act of rebellion.
Maybe one of my plants will like it. They were watered for the first time in a solid month yesterday, maybe longer. I refused to water them until they showed some signs of needing it. It took a long fucking time and only the small ones showed some browning. I get the feeling it was just for my benefit and they are obtaining nourishment in some other more sinister way.
I have a thirty minute computational biology presentation tomorrow/today (Monday). I’ve decided to wing it. Presentations are more fun when there are long awkward pauses.

wow…. I want plants too.
this post was funny. dunno why. prolly because of the little acts of rebellion going on in your life.

Feed me, Seymor! Hehehe! Good luck on your presentation. I think I prefer long awkward pauses over babbling any day.

I have seen Spirited Away… I remember it being weird and dreamy and amazing. A fine film. I’ll have to check out some of your other recommendations, thanks!
As for houseplants, every plant does better with too little water rather than too much. I can’t keep a houseplant alive to save my life, partly from my own ineptitude, and partly because my fat cat thinks they’re food.

i once killed a cactus…. it took a lot of hard work. i refused to give it water (forgot actually) and then over watered it… repeat this 4 times and you will have one decayig from the inside out. eventually the top will fall into itself.

I think you’re the only person I know who is passive-aggressive towards plants. It’s okay, they deserve it. Plants are kind of smug because they can manufacture their own food. I say, nyah nyah, we’ve got independent locomotion- take that!
