What I did with my Friday morning

I unfucked part of the front lawn! Then I figured out how to use tumblr so I could post about it. Now you too may enjoy the before and after photos, since I'm sure everyone else is enthralled by yardwork.

Afterward I ate a pummelo, and now I'm making $40 a pound chai. If this chai doesn't turn me into a guild navigator, I want my money back.

The End.

P.S. Pretty soon you'll get before and after photos of my shrub-removal project. Won't that be thrilling!

Apparently it won't let me look at that tumblr page unless I make an account. Tumblr continues to baffle and befuddle me; I think this means I deserve a cane and a lawn, now.

Does this work? http://stillsostrange.tumblr.com/

Yes! Huh. Odd.

Linking specific posts on tumblr still escapes me.

That corner is thoroughly unfucked!

Would you like a ridiculous Herm?

I do love yard work. ;) looks great! And thank you for linking that Unfuck your habitat site, it's inspiring! I'll have to do a before and after of the rose bush of doom that's taken over one of my flowerbeds...

I am really curious about the $40/pound chai. I'm assuming it is some kind of fabulous mixture, not a concentrate?

(I have some rather-a-lot-less-than $40/pound chai around here somewhere, and an embarrassing recollection of that time I tried to make homemade chai and it ate holes in the pot I was simmering it in...)

It's a loose mix, yes. And definitely better than most teabag chais I've found, but still not as good as what I'd get at any Indian restaurant around here. Someday I'll figure out the trick of making my own.
