C is for Crawford

I forgot...

...to post pix of my newest tattoo. It's on the back of my right arm, and it's BIG.

It's the Hand (or Eye) of Fatima.

I am a closet Hindi

I also just read The Satanic Verses. I liked it.

Yo Gabba Iggy

Firebombing HP

I just got my laptop back after being sent to HP for repair 3 weeks ago.
I went through the 5 stages of grief, and recovered.
I ranted to a few uncaring customer service representatives for various companies that I wanted to blame.
Then, I just let it go...
So, I am back!

Then and Now

Iggy quote:

Mommy, it's wet and juicy outside.

Sundays this summer

I'm fully addicted to PBS's series Mystery!
Miss Marple is fucking adorable.
Foyle is subtle, and old-but-still-crush-worthy.
The sets boggle my mind, wartime England, the costumes are brilliant.
Last night I saw a preview for the new Sherlock Holmes, played by Rupert Everett *swoon*.
He's totally flawed and addicted to opium, Watson helps him keep it together.

I'm jazzed, which makes me a nerd.

I used to hate mysteries, but now I eat them like brain candy.

My mom gets me tons of paperbacks from the airport, so I read a lot of them.

There are some bad ones, many mediocre ones, but the good ones are so much fun to read that I slog through the crappier stories, happily.

I did finally start and finish Heyday, and it was beautiful, an intercontinental, historical chase set in the 1840's.

I keep thinking about the characters, I couldn't wait to find out what was going to happen, but now that it's done, I miss them.

A Spike Lee Joint

I really enjoyed Inside Man, mostly because of this:

Too much blog, not enough Dobbs

Soul Kiss

Moody

wow

new Muppet movie

I call it the Nimoy...

Here is Iggy's latest Flow-Bee cut, that machine is awesome! No fuss, no mess. I didn't mean to make him quite so Romulan, though.

To Each Their Own...

I have been making a lot of cucumber and onions in vinegar, very summery, but no one likes it but me!

I love Fosse

oh yeah

Iggy went peepee on the big toilet yesterday for the very first time!

Gardening

I did a little gardening over the weekend, with copious help from my husband. My friend Joy gave me a bunch of lovely ceramic pots, so I had to fill them.
I didn't like the usual fare, so I got an assortment of delicate looking ground cover plants, some creeping thyme, wire vine, and a couple I can't remember.


I think it will look really nice when it fills in.





Also, Tom found this crazy caterpillar:
