Urban Roots

Has anyone been to Urban Roots - 428 Rhode Island? it's like a co-op for plants.

Also (not at Urban Roots), found this crazy cool watermelon 'Moon and Stars' - this is what it actually looks like:

PinPals

I started a blog about a technical topic, and I tried googling the name of it to check my search rankings. That lead me to a site for finding gay prison pen pals (I swear accidentally!).

But the site is full of homo-erotic imagery and is sort of bizarre, especially this page: in which a gay man with a nipple ring is in prison reading the Turner Diaries.

Now, I am not sure if you are familiar with the Turner Diaries, but it is basically a white power manifesto.

Something strange is happening here.

Unpacking

The only part of the house that's done... the rest is still a mess.

Moving all our stuff makes me realize how cheap (e:james) and I are. We got all our furniture at thrift stores or used. It doesn't look too bad... a little threadbare maybe, but we spent less on all of our furniture in the whole house then some people spend on a couch.

It does take a while to look around and find just the right things though, so that you don't look too much like poor college kid ;)

Before

(e:james) and my new place on Ashland near Potomac.

The 'after' pictures will be up sometime this weekend - these pictures are before we started painting or anything.

Hope moving all the stuff goes well!

metalpeter writes at 05:54:42 05/23/07 - Comment #18759: Granted i can't tell how those white walls look but other then those the place looks great. I have to disagree on the carpet though. Yeah wood floors (if they are in great shape) assuming that is what is under the carpet is great. But soft rugs (assuming again in good shape) are better. Yes they are hard to clean. But in winter they are warmer. Also if they are soft people can lay on them and be comfy and not cold. But that is just my preferance. Rugs are also a good way to help protect the floors. Some home owners will belive it or not tear up the rugs and switch them after every long term tenent.

Jenks: hello!
Felly: Thanks :)
Museumchick: Fireplace doesn't work - we'll put candles in it or something
JSL: yeah, we don't have to replaster - you should have just moved instead of remodeling :)

fellyconnelly writes at 02:29:40 05/23/07 - Comment #18744: i have two words for you. the first one is 'congrats' and the second is 'jealous'.

jenks writes at 02:23:13 05/23/07 - Comment #18743: we are so neighbors! (I'm on claremont and bird).

Looks like a great place.

james writes at 02:10:02 05/23/07 - Comment #18742: Before the couple we rent from bought the house it was owned by an ancient Italian grandmother who was seemingly blind and into LSD. Note the pasely wall paper in the entry room. The back stare well looks like Charlie Brown's shirt mutated in a Burrough's novel.

Wallpaper aside the place is awesome.

museumchick writes at 01:55:46 05/23/07 - Comment #18737: The panelling of the house looks nice. Plus, it's great you'll have a fireplace.

joshua writes at 01:09:02 05/23/07 - Comment #18732: A nice spot. =P

jsl writes at 12:59:14 05/23/07 - Comment #18729: Looks great! Seems from the pictures that it will require less work than my house which I just blogged about on this site! If you need a sledgehammer, though, let me know. ;)

Years in the making.

The photo group that I moderate on Flickr has 326 members, although of course only about two dozen regularly contribute photos and discussion.

Why oh why is there always a couple people who so have to dominate everything and always make trouble? Why does everything always have to be about them and their position and just ME ME ME. How can someone constantly manage to be at the root of all the trouble in a group, and still have so many arguments about how it's not possibly about them, and how they're just a good person that somehow always gets conspired against?

Do you hear that Mister Anderson?

And so: I got out my ban-hammer today. Ka-smash.

That is the sound of inevitability.

Felt sort of good. But my stomach is in knots because it's going to be a shitty week full of emails back and forth and fall out.

Ugh. [s]326[/s] 325
