Ok, garden update: we had to take out the radishes and carrots for failure to thrive. Replanted some carrots in the bigger space and finally caved and bought some blooming marigolds (harharhar) to combat all of the bugs that are eating the lettuce and spinach:

The zucchini is really happy.

The peas are also doing pretty well

Pole beans are making a comeback

We also found this white board to try to reflect some more sun onto our box, but I'm not sure it's gonna help much :/ Wah wah, lame spring/summer in PDX

M got a chia pet, though, and it's pretty sweet:

Monika and Ben came to visit and took me to the Timbers v Sounders game:

(the Sounders were wearing their ugliest of jersies to help combat green-green colorblindness)

This is what it looks like when the Sounders beat the Timbers in overtime+goal kicks:

My high school bf texted me this picture at 3am even though my phone is incapable of displaying pictures and initially doesn't tell me who the pictures are from

I still don't know what it means.

My Mom gave me this book a long time ago and I finally read it. The actual writing was kinda meh but Fred Rogers was some kind of superhuman.

This wasn't nearly as good as Hello Dolly, but it had its moments

June 5th, Saturday

My Tender Loving Empire Birthday Name didn't win me any raffle prizes, but I still think it was one of the best names of the night.

Also they had gluten free cake, which made me feel like they're really ready to accept me into their Empire. And Y La Bamba. And this song, which I lovelovelove (also this video is bizarro/funny):

June 4th, Friday

Either god has a sense of humor or I will never be cold in the afterlife.

(I made so many others of these)

June 3rd, Thursday

It's been a few days since I've discussed my love of MuShu

Olive doesn't understand what the big deal is

But there's just something about how all of her face is squished at the bottom of her tiny head

and her little button nose that looks like it's the same kind used for Sifl and Olly

and that this is how excited she gets about everything in life:

that makes me want to take her home really really badly.

June 2nd, Wednesday

The roses are blooming!!

Dunkie and I found this supercool variety:

I think it was called About Face, but I can't remember for sure

Dunks isn't that into the roses unless someone else has peed on them recently

June 1st, Tuesday

Sahar was here and she and M got me this rad sloth card that turned out to be made by the dude who worked at the Reed offices. I used to deliver his mail and he was always annoyed about it. Weird.

You can see/buy more of his stuff here

May 31st, Monday

I got taken out by some playing dogs in the yard last week, and the bruise has started to look like some kind of supernova or distant universe:

Also now there's a picture of my butt on the internet. We all knew it was only a matter of time.

Anyway somehow I managed not to post for all of June and miss a bunch of days. I blame work.
