Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

So, I could use some advice from those of you who know a bit about plants...

I'm looking for a houseplant to help oxygenate my really stuffy art studio. Here's what I'm looking for;

  • Low maintenance.
  • Doesn't grow too much. Not more than 2 feet tall is good.
  • Low to zero scent.
  • Doesn't attract spiders.
  • Doesn't require much light, because it really ain't going to get it.

This is probably a tall order, but don't ask, don't get, right?

Some big ol' fern?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

It's a great length for you, Dana. Even if blurry.

Nice! Cracks me up that both Dana and shrift are looking so serious and determined.

I wish I could do shrift's cut, but my hair is alternately too fluffy/flat and cranky wavy. Sometimes. PLus, can't carry it with my face.

I kill plants.

It's hard work taking a picture in a mirror!

Whoa!

Even better.

Cute cut! It's like leaving Houston made you even prettier.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Pretty is hard!

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Pretty is hard!

And, yet? Shrift and Dana seem to accomplish it!

"What would it take to get your daughter to stop tweeting about this?"

I kill plants.

This is me. Someone gave me bamboo (the kind that just grows in a vase with water and rocks and needs no interaction from a human being) and it died. Its not possible but it did.
