I don't remember if I'd gotten around to mentioning that my mother-in-law frightens me. Though in a good way. This past Easter she didn't send us peeps. She sent us a happy green basket full of bulbs, all of which were in a state that made them look like somewhat sickly asparagus. (They'd been forced, and as such were a little wan.) ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
teinedreugan and I bought a pot for them, and I transferred the lot, and they've been happily sprouting in the mathom room since. Yesterday, one of the types revealed itself: tulips. For some reason, having tulips growing in the room upstairs dissonates my cognitive.
In other vegetative news, my lilac bush is covered in what look to be eventual flower spikes. This is tremendously, tremendously cool. I planted it last year, and it produced one flower spike. So I tinkered with the soil in the hopes that it would get happier and be more flowery, and wow, it looks like that and the year to get settled worked.
teinedreugan and I went out looking for the shop that we'd been told might exist and be able to sell me some clay loam. <Arlo Guthrie>We didn't find one.</Arlo> Then we went up to Lechmere to buy me shoes. Still haven't restored the style I really like, but the ones they had are better than the ugly blocky things I've got which are falling apart (hence the shoeing expotition). Then we went to the little Egypti-kitsch shop there, and afterwards to Borders, which is always dangerous. Did not buy some Aristotle for brooksmoses, mostly because they didn't have the text I wanted in the edition I wanted to get. (Dear, could confirm please which text you were looking for so I can look for it more coherently? Though I nearly got you the Metaphysics because it was there.) Got book on roles of women in ancient Egypt, fairly recent scholarship thus potentially acceptable. Saw very strange buildings being built on MIT campus. Must find pictures, show to keeps. Very conceptual.
Have to finish getting organised on the play by e-mail game I'm intending to run. I have frighteningly enthusiastic players. (oneironaut and annwyd particularly, but also lstone and erispope, and brooksmoses came over to the gamer side of the Force with 13K of character background.)
Gaming tomorrow, Semtek. Much pounding on things anticipated. Must remember to bring the Crüxshadows CD with Seraphs on.
Have vaguely sociopolitical thoughts about marriage, but they're not coming out coherently at the moment. Asterisk inserted.
teinedreugan just wandered in and said, "This cat brought to you by the letters L and J." This required explanation; apparently Lennon's lying in the usual contortionistic poses again.
No mood for scattered. No worries.
