I was grappling with some med side effects (that actually I might want to pick your brain about in return)
I love side effects!
...not really. But some are weirder than hell.
Relatedly, I'm editing an article about how a drug that's used primarily for nausea (it started as a drug for chemotherapy-related nausea) has been found to be beneficial in schizophrenia. I mean, what a huge difference in medical conditions, right? And one drug works for both! (Well, theoretically, in the schizophrenia; it's only recently been reported, so it's not an FDA-approved treatment or anything.) But still: drugs are neat.

That is the size of the weeds in my yard.
and I have just put up a very undignified picture of new cat Nathaniel on face book.

Those discoveries fascinate me. I always figure that must be how they come up with drugs like Latisse, the one advertised for eyelash growth.
In the vegetable vein, what's a good thing to do with kale? This should be pretty mild (mostly from my garden and picked small) - I'm thinking saute with garlic and olive oil? But I am open to suggestions.
I usually cook kale with some garlic and olive oil and a bit of vegetable broth to cook it down. Sometimes beans, too.
See, when my weeds get to be that size I pretend I meant to have them there. If I can look them up and call them by name, they're volunteers, not weeds.

I'm kinda curious myself. I got some with my first CSA box. Part of the reason I'm splitting a CSA share with amyth is so I'll try more and different local veggies. But now I'm confronted with various green things in my fridge and aside from the lettuce I'm somewhat at a loss.
I think I like -t's gardening method. Make friends and/or allies with indigenous plant life!

Monorail kitty!
at the tail end of mac's b'day party thingymabob. We were late for the intended movie, so we had to improvise and get tix to HtTYD in IMAX 3D instead of reg 3-D, then kill an hour. It took us a while to find a McDs, but once we did it was all smooth sailing. Only 2 of his friends were able to make it. Honestly am happy about that, 5 boys would have been tough to wrangle all by myself. We got ice cream afterwards and they are now playing until the parents show up.
