I so miss msbelle's old profile pic from Worldcrossing...
Just called this specialty grower about some apple benchgrafts. Wanted his opinion about taste since these are varieties too rare for me to ever have gotten access to an apple to taste. Sad to hear his tales of how the gravenstein orchards have mostly been ripped up in Sebastopol or of how Albert Etter's plant breeding farm has become completely run down from neglect. I got some good advice and will hopefully have several rare tasty rare apple varieties to grow and try to keep dwarvish.
The winds will maintain a sustained speed of 35 to 40 mph, and may gust to 55 mph or more. They will be most severe north of Interstate 88, particularly along the Wisconsin border, Kleist said.
Well, joy. My commute is just gonna suck, isn't it? Wonder if my room will flood again tomorrow.
Yes! It always seemed to be saying "I am the NICEST!"
poquito is the cutest pig ever.
do people have recs on eyebrow pencils or fillers?
So, on my way out of work today, there was someone waiting for the elevator I was getting out of. I gave her the nod-and-smile I give people I recognize because we are coworkers, but don't really know. Yeah, no. She wouldn't recognize me, because she's the host of the local public-affairs show. Oh well -- I guess it's still better to be friendly than not.
I'm intrigued. Anybody ever made tomato jam?
I don't know from tomato but I am eating fig and garlic jam right now and it is awesome. Would probably be really good on a sandwich.
(I'm having it with Roaring Forties cheese - guess why? - and Bitch Bubbly. Then we're headed here [link] for dinner.)
Sounds like an excellent birthday, brenda!!
I prefer a mascara-ish gel (I use MAC's auburn shade) but mostly for shaping and control, no filling.
Smashbox has a good selections of colors, and people love it. It's a split, with powder on one side, and wax on the other.
I am going as Zombie Apocolypse Velma for Halloween, but am having trouble finding a red skirt in my size, and orange knee socks. I wish I could afford a large stuffed Scooby, because I would SO make Dan make a zombie hand to put in its mouth.

I am entirely unaffected by most sports, and liked the LotR movies and read the books (which dragged, even though I mostly enjoy baroque world-building and Very Large Books.)
