Korea house

Last night we went to dinner with (e:James) for his birthday. Matthew
and I ordered these potato based sugar drinks featured on the placemat.

They turned out to be personal sized bottles of vodka style alcohol
with a sweet aftertaste.

Shattered Glass

Sunday morning this kid was pacing back and forth near Linwood and
north freaking out in the phone. We couldn't figure out what happened
right away but slowly we overheard some details. He left stuff in his
car and someone stole the stuff. I though I heard him say a laptop,
which sucks, but seriously, who leaves electronics in their car, in a
city.

The thrift smashed the driver's window completely out to get to the
stuff.

Is showplace still open?

I wonder if showplace theatre on grant is still open. There was a for
lease sign on it when I drove by it on Sunday. I can't possibly count
the number of times I went to that place for music in my younger years
although I think the best time was 4/20/2002.

The plumber's house

The other night we visited a friend's friend for snacks and drinks.
The place was beautiful and had a giant inground swimming pool which
we got to swim around in. The swimming pool had a rock waterfall that
has hot water coming over it which was so freaking cool.

For snacks we had sushi and all kinds of cheese and olives. It was
the first time I ever had fish free sushi and it was blah. Not just
blah, but heavy. I really like the fish part. the thing about raw
fish is that it is light and compliments the other ingredients.
Cooked chicken in my opinion its too heavy.

Sadly, the only pic I managed to takeoff the evening was this one of
(e:terry) playing with his wind chime which was pretty awesome.

Basra Eating A Strawberry

The iphone does an amazing job with video. The quality is so much better in the orginal but its 40MB. Here is the 7MB compressed version.

Basra really likes strawberries. You could get him to follow you are the backyward all day if you had one on a string.

Pottery at Globe Market

Today while eating crabcakes at globe market, I spotted some nice looking pottery. Its all set up around these local art displays, so I assumed it was local art.

The one brown vase and the aorta one both struck my fancy and both were reasonably priced. The brown one was really heavy. Both had a tag on them for some artist/dealer on hertel.

They both look pretty orginal and I was all set on buying both or either.

That was until I flipped them over and saw they were from Vietnam and China.

Pear Leaf Blight, Fabrcea Maculata

Oh man, our pear trees which have like 1000+ pears are suffering from pear leaf blight

I think the wetness and windiness made it worse and we might lose the whole crop. It is probably too late to spray as the infection seems really severe.

I tried to trim back the highly affected areas and remove all the infected leaf bebris on the ground.

The last thursday in the square

Yesterday, I thought it was a good idea to whoop up for the last thursday in the square. I ended up hanging out with so many people. There was sameer, (e:Terry), (e:jim), and (e:heidi) at the square. Then we saw Casey down there. Afterward I saw (e:mike) and (e:libertad), (e:enknot), john and johnny and a whole bunch of random people I know from here or there.
