One handed cartwheels
Category: body
I can finally do a one handed cartwheel again. Next step: roundoff, back handspring.

Well done.

I am SO jealous. I can't do any of that. I don't have enough upper body strength yet and I guess skipping yoga for 3 weeks in a row is not particularly helping the cause...

Giant pumpkin aftermath
Category: nature
Nature really took care of that one. I hopebaby giant pumpkin plants start growing in the yard. It could say me some cash.

Basra's first day outside 2011
Category: pets
This was his first day outside. Its weird, this morning I brought him in grass and plants from outside to eat and he barely touched them but as soon as he got outside he chowed down for like 3 hours.

You can almost see him smiling...

stripping...
...wire is really time consuming. I think it is left best as a third world enterprise.

I had all this wire I ripped off the house after moving the server.

image

I spent several hours, got about 1/10th of the way through the wire pile and ended up with like 1lb of copper which is worth about $4.50 on the open market.

image

Luckily, Its projected to go up 2 cents over the next two months. In the meantime I am going to make myself the largest copper ball ever.

Deal!
paul - 07/02/11 01:52
I'll trade you for Indian food.
tinypliny - 07/02/11 00:32
Do you think I could buy a lb or 2 off you?
tinypliny - 04/09/11 23:21
You could melt it all into a copper bowl. I hear the copper bowls are the best for whipping cream and beating eggs (if you are using elbow grease and a hand whisk).
tinypliny - 04/09/11 23:19
Wait - why were you doing this? Why not just store them as they were in a coil?
heidi - 04/09/11 15:54
Thank you for not burning off the plastic.

Rice bowl and crunch bang
Category: food
(e:tinypliny) and I made yummy rice bowls and played with crunch bang Linux. She just left now after we talked about my work projects, genetics, the history of Hinduism, the war between China and India, ghandi, mother Theresa. Harold Krishna's, the Ainu people of Japan, Muslims, early American slave diets, Marco Polo and the server.

This is crunchbang linux, (e:tinypliny) loves it.

You are totally forgetting the whole relevance-of-dreams-and-serendipity in the chemistry of benzene, structure of stainless steel, nickel in dentures, cancer clusters, litigation culture in the US, radiation and cancer, chernobyl aftermath, Japan, planned parenthood, ridiculous military expenses and shady contracts, international and government-level conspiracy theories, satellite spying, search engines, the AOL interface, ad targeting in gmail, bridgestone commercials, more tablet choices, computing platforms and the "Sleepless Elite" - :::link::: of which I am SO not a part! :)

Thanks so much for literally chasing me down. I had SO MUCH fun and the food was super-delicious!

I hope you get some sleep! :)
