magidThose old greens seeds I put on dirt last week? There are now little green butterflies of seedlings in those planters! If I were a good gardener, I'd be thinking of how to thin them in another week or two, but I have little expectation of greens through the hot summer months, other than eventually bolting, so I might just be lazy and see what happens. (I have more containers, though not more dirt/compost, but I still have the intent to get some basil and some mint, even a hot pepper plant, if it's not too late).
Weird breakfast of solitude: toasted slice of six-grain-and-pumpkin-seed bread topped with garlic hummus and defrosted young peas.
I have now been to Backbar, which is a lovely space (props tofrobzwiththingz for the bar itself), though it would have been better with a congenial conversational partner; everyone else was there in groups. In honor of Camp Covered in Bees, I had a Beekeeper, which tasted rather like a a alcoholic mint lemonade with spicy high notes instead of mint. It was intense, and good. (And though I've been told their prices are in line with other upscale places, I'm still somewhat taken aback by the cost of one (expertly mixed) drink; thanks again to AaronF who unexpectedly comped me mine.)
Yesterday included time on swings and slides with my niece and nephew. It was weird weather for June, overcast and cooling over the afternoon rather than heating up. However, playground time is always good :-).
I've earned some tool trainings through working the front desk at Artisan's Asylum, but I'd rather not take a training until I have a project I'd use that tool on (if I don't use the tool soon after enough to get it into my head, I'm afraid it won't stick, and therefore will have been wasted). I wish I had some particular project requiring one of those tools calling out to me.
Thanks tocurrentlee for introducing me to this crash course on world history.
I think it wasruthling who posted a link to a list of "most powerful photos ever taken" (Warning: intense visuals). I preferred the ones where I could figure out a decent part of the plot from just the picture, without the caption below; some were moving more in context than in and of themselves, which seemed to me to not fit the description so well. Also, I was expecting some photos that didn't appear: the kiss when armistice was announced, the little girl running (My Lai, I think, but am not sure), and certainly something different than those women coming off the train for a liberation-from-camps sort of photo. Also maybe Jesse Owens in the 1936 (Berlin) Olympics. I'm sure there are others I'd've wanted in there if I took longer to think about it/research more; this list was off the top of my head.
