update in point form

I just came off a 6-day week and I'm exhausted. The new job is challenging and interesting. Holy crap is there a lot to keep track of.

I watched a group of south Asian men playing cricket in the parking lot next to the workplace this morning while I was buying my coffee. Including lots of loud, hand-waving, good-natured debate in their own language. This made me very happy.

The snail experiment took place last night, and was a success. Also fun. Thanks to 50_ft_queenie for the cooking assistance. (Damn, those little fuckers are hard to get out of the shell.) And as the_axel pointed out, this is the first meal we've had yet that included anything harvested from our vegetable garden.

There is a house that I walk past every morning on the way to the bus stop that is visibly tipping over. Yesterday the front wall actually separated from the roof and started sliding downward. I look forward to passing it every morning.

Tomorrow I start packing for the roadtrip.

What I'm listening to right this second: Family Force 5

fallingdown house: Photos?

actually address might be useful too - I'm sure my brother would like to take a million photos of it.

I'm very amused that the first edible crop from your vegetable garden is not something that could be eaten by vegetarians. More ironic than rain on yer wedding day.

I'm looking forward to seeing you in Tampa. :)

I very much enjoyed the snail experiment. And yeah, there was *no* way we were going to be able to prise the snails out of those wee little shells.
