I was eating this giant grapefruit at work today, when I noticed it tasted awful. I got to the middle and found all these sprouted seeds. I planted one at home. Maybe we'll be growing grapefruits 10 years from now?

After Erica's show, I met up with Emily, Kevin, Catherine, Mike and a few other people at Essex for Kevin's birthday. Unfortunately they don't have a fryer, and we needed fried cheese so we went over to Providence for food. On the way home I walked past Essex again and saw Callie and her brother outside, so I hung out with them and got myself whooped at darts.

Catherine's rant about Essex, fried food and patriotism

I really like recording sounds lately. It's easier to capture than video and I think people don't change their behavior as much because there's no visual. Sometimes video is just superfluous especially when it's someone just talking in a dark bar.

Not the winners.

(e:czarkasm) had an hourlong show tonight at Nietzsche's. (e:Terry) and i got there a little late but she absolutely rocked it. For her closing mashup of Sweet Dreams, I heard the two guys next to us talking about how they excited they we're for it.

Now I'm on the way to Kevin's 22nd birthday at Essex.

After father's day at (e:paul)'s parents', I rode a mile over to my parent's house. Of course this meant a second dinner, plus desserts. My mom made falafels for me since they were eating burgers and sausages. For dessert, we had my dad's favorite, an orange cake with orange glaze on top. They needed to go to Anderson's after dinner also, since father's day means free ice cream for dads.

I continued the housework trend for the day by cleaning out my parent's gutters. Suprisingly they were clean. The gutter mesh they put over them really worked.

For father's day, I spent the first half up at Paul's parents house, also for Tony's birthday. It was an early dinner, so I got to eat amazing food, like the marinated artichokes, dandelion cakes, cheese potatoes, amd vegetables.




Feeding time




Afterwards I helped (e:paul) and (e:terry) remortar the chimney for a bit. So much of it crumbled away - Paul actually completely pulled out a brick entirely at one point. It wasn't the cleanest job but hopefully it'll hold up for a while.

For future reference, Quickrete mix used as mortar takes approximately a 4:1 ratio of water:mortar mix.
