Has anyone been watching Greensburg on the Green Planet channel? Documentry on the town in Kansas that was leveled by F5 tornado, and is rebuilding green.
Spike's Bitches 44: It's about the rules having changed.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
I've watched it a few times -- I don't get that channel here, but my parents do, and I've watched it a few times when I was visiting them.
Oof!
Moving is crazy, you know? But kinda fun.
I keep telling myself.
It makes me wanna build a green home. Granted, I already wanted to do that, but it's neat to see some different construction methods/ideas. If only I had cash and land.
Are you at the new place now, Bev?
Hi, Bev!
Yeah, if I had the money, I think I'd use one of the zero/global warming polyurethanes along with grancrete (concrete created with magnesium based cement that has much lower GHC impact than Portland cement). You end up with a superinsulated super air tight house, that will use much less energy to operate but that also has low impact in creation - total plastic only slightly more than the plastic or fiberglass used in insulating a normal house, low impact cement has less impact than even sustainably harvested wood.
Moving is *awesome* because you are moving in the right direction. Um... Mine.
A green house would be great. I'm in an apartment now, and there's just about nothing that I can do, other than recycling, toward that sort of stuff.
I just ended up (rather randomly via last minute very nonspecific invite) at this movie at the Seattle Jewish Film Fest, and it was pretty darn good!
"Secrets is the story of a gifted and pious daughter of an Orthodox rabbi and her rebellious quest for individuality. Wary of marriage in an insular community, Naomi convinces her father to send her to an all-female Jewish seminary in Safed, an ancient center of Kabbalistic study, or mystical Judaism. There she befriends another free-spirited student, Michelle, and the two encounter a mysterious, ailing foreigner (the iconic French actress Fanny Ardant) with a disturbing past. Attempting to purge the woman's sins through kabbalistic rituals, Naomi and Michelle embark on a risky journey into forbidden realms."
The girl who played Naomi was *gorgeous* (she looked very Kate Winslet-y), and the girl who played Michelle totally reminded me of...someone...and I can't figure out who.
