toastykittenI made Mark a profile on Facebook, and started adding his friends. Now he is adding people I've never heard of, and every time I ask him who someone is, he's all, "Oh, it's so-and-so from the kernel community".
I am really sad that Tastespotting, one of my favorite food websites/blog aggregators is gone due to legal issues. I've been trying to dig up dirt on what exactly happened, but no one else knows, either. If it's due to some copyright thing, well, wouldn't any of their sister sites - NOTCOT (graphic design) and NotCouture (fashion) be vulnerable, too?
My Myspace account got deleted without warning for "violation of terms of service", and "can not be restored". I hadn't even logged in for months! I filled out their little customer satisfaction survey and gave them a negative on everything.
I have one more dentist appointment to go. Damn cavities. All of my previous dentists were terrible and only exacerbated my bad teeth. People, do your research on dentists!
30 Days is back! I totally missed the first episode, which was Morgan Spurlock working in the coal mines. The last episode I watched, was Ray Crockett (retired NFL cornerback) living 30 days in a wheelchair and learning about spinal cord injuries. This one was a very good episode, and you could see Crockett learning, taking inspiration, and being genuinely thoughtful and caring about the people he met and talked to. Next week it's a hunter living with some animal rights activists, which should be fun.
We have figs now! Peaches are starting to come in and should be ready in a few days, our tomatoes are starting to ripen, and we have a ton of mint.
A sad tale to relate - there were a bird nesting with her chicks in our backyard. Her chicks were really loud and chirpy, and every time we heard them, we saw the mama bird fly out to get some food - worms, berries, etc. However, cats love our yard, too. The last time we saw them alive we saw some of them circling the mama bird's nesting area. We couldn't get at the nest either - it was hidden in one of our trees. The next day we saw one of the chicks on our backyard floor.
