HA. Bad beer is....well, just bad. Not hipster trendy, just gross.
On the theme of more shit with a side of shit and a second helping of shit.... Lori is out of town and left Kuma at our place. She won't be back for a week.
Kuma just bit our dog's face, down to the bone. Which means another added expense of dealing with the vet bills and I can't have Kuma here if he's going to start shit even though I know he's harmless with humans because I will have my mom, a nurse, and Grace here for the duration of Kuma's stay and I can't throw both dogs in the yard if I'm worrying about fighting.
ARGH. FUCK. THIS is something I Do Not Need.
Oh man, Kat. You really Do Not Need anything else.
I am predisposed to spicy, not sweet
Sara, have you ever smelled Stock (Matthiola incana)? OMG delicious cloves and pepper.
The heliotrope I ordered came in leggy from the nursery, and had to pinch it down and lost all the blooms. Got my first flower this week and the advertised vanilla baby-powder fragrance was no lie!
So lemme tell you about this art. It could have been good. But the main thing I dislike is that, where it's silhouette's in negative space on a white "canvas", what draws the eye are very large white rectangles. So maybe if you like Christo or Malevich, which I personally don't, it's instantly a turn-off. The silhouette's are of trees, kind of. But the artist doesn't get the inherent beauty in the silhouette of a tree form, or even the beauty of the architecture of a tree in winter, with it's branches laid bare. My director actually had to explain the horizontal lines of a Kousa or the vase shape of an Elm, or the broad sweep of our Sugar Maple. Our logo is our locally famous European Beech, and her interpretation of it was to badly wiggle out something that I think is supposed to be the first two feet of the trunk, and didn't bother with the other hundred fifty feet of massive branches and canopy. But she's all about the negative (in both senses), the politics ("missing trees"), and that feels too much like going to church and being reminded that I'm a sinner. That's not my bag when it comes to art. Especially not when I work at a place that preserves historic trees and is restoring the native hardwood forest.
Then there was the complete lack of skill and craftsmanship in cutting the silhouettes. Which I'm sure the artist had no hand in, besides maybe paying someone to do it for her (badly).
She didn't even paint it! I'm still trying to figure out what it is that she did do, besides some rough sketches before handing it off to the help.
erm, sorry, that was long and boring and ranty.
Hey look! [link] Screencaps of Misha Collins in Stonehenge Apocalypse!
Well yeah. And we are either stuck with Kuma for another week, or Lori wants me to take him to her place and just leave him in the yard with enough food and water to survive. Which I can't do because then it means I have to go back and forth because I just can't leave him there.
And did I mention? I have a sick kid, my mom is arriving tomorrow and I have to coordinate a hundred things already.
FUCK. Done.

What color is the sky in that world?
hivemind. how to get a disk manually out of a iBook drive? iBook not recognizing it and so eject is having no effect. I do not see a hole to use the magic paperclip to solve all mac problems.
Try rebooting it via the power button? That may trigger the tray to eject.
You can try holding down the mouse button while rebooting it.
Can y'all get Kuma boarded? Or get someone else (closer and with less obligations) to check in at Lori's on him?
