The hills are alive...

with the sound of a delighted geeky heart. Yeah, yeah. I know. Bad blogger. Anyway, really quickly, here are some of the things lately that have made my geekdom explode all over the place.

1) Took Miss E in for her shots - and she had one needle. And one FREAKING AWESOME GIGANTIC HYPOSPRAY. Dude, I kid you not...it was the size of my arm. But it was still a FREAKING HYPOSPRAY. I think that the Dr. was saying that it's a CO2 fuelled injector, but I was too busy nodding and totally geeking out (in my head).

2) Dr. Horrible's Sing-a-long Blog. Go watch. Now.

3) Bento! Yeah, I'm late to the party. As usual. But since Mr. Munchkin is starting school in the fall, I'm going to have to start making him lunch. And if I must make lunches...damnit, they will be awesome.


If you're not familiar with the concept of Bento, it's basically the Japanese way of making wonderful lunches. You take a box, stuff it full of healthy, delicious food and make it attractive at the same time. Check out this site for a more informative perspective on the topic. Anyhoos - here we have (from left to right): egg shapers, sauce cups with lids, a fork, holding cups, salt/pepper holders, soy sauce mini bottles, and picks.

4) My garden. :D


That's the mountain of dirt, contained by a homegrown wall of rocks. Every single one of those rocks were found in the backyard and moved. Also, note the tri-wheel wheelbarrow. We wussed out and bought one that had much less chance of someone trying to ride in it and tipping it over. The wall's about 8 inches deep, and there is tomato, kohlrabi, lettuce, spinach, cucumbers, carrots, and more lettuce growing there. We'll have to see if anything actually comes up this year.

5) Paint! Oh, those crazy-makin' paint fumes. The other day, Miss E was lying on her tummy, looking up at us with big eyes. She then flipped herself onto her back. She then giggled and then flipped herself over onto her tummy again. We took one look at each other and decided to start babyproofing. But instead of babyproofing the entire house (*cough* mission impossible *cough*), we've given up our TV room and have made it into a playroom which will be gated off. So, the vile orange (which the previous owners painted) is gone gone gone. And the room is now a serene white with a hit of rasberry.

6) Oh, and a gratuitious yarn shot. These are the skeins of yarn from the last post, wound into a CPB.


Also, I've finished spinning up the Twilight fiber, just need to get some pics (my camera battery is dead).

7) They Might Be Giants' children's albums. I Am Not Your Broom, indeed.
