Your rainbow is intensely shaded indigo, white, and yellow.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What is says about you: You are a contemplative person. You appreciate cities, technology, and other great things people have created. Friends count on you for being honest and insightful. You're good at getting people to like you.

Yeah, I am definitely a city girl at heart. I love nature, and want to preserve vast swathes of it, untouched by humans, both for the overall benefit of humanity, and for the benefit of the creatures living there. But I don't want to live in the wilderness. I have no desire to own a log cabin that is only accessible by helicopter. The wildest I could stand living is a nice little house on a nice little bit of land, within an easy drive to a proper city. Preferably not in bear habitat. Nature is beautiful and awe-inspiring, but it also has deer ticks and cougars and insufficient sanitation.

In short, I'd probably make a better Entwife than an Ent. ^_^

Also, posted for shinjuyuki's benefit, some of the most awesome TW crossovers ever. I'm getting seriously tempted to start renting the series, and I haven't even seen any of Ten yet. :D Leaping over to a spinoff series seems a bit premature.

Original post is a crossover of one sort. Comment at the top of the linked-to page is a mini fic with an even better crossover, based off of an image I'll post next. http://nancybrown.livejournal.com/47978.html?thread=706666#t706666

I am dead of lol. I needed it badly, as Mark decided to wake up screaming at "Oh God why can't we all sleep in now that it's summer break?!"-hundred hours, and has had spates of random inconsolability ever since. (Super Why seems to be keeping him amused at the moment, much as I normally hate that show.)

I need to find a good Colorado-based political blog

Not just so I can get a clear view of the candidates for the upcoming Senate race. but because I clearly have no idea about the local idiosyncracies, as this article shows: http://tpmdc.talkingpointsmemo.com/2010/05/romanoff-beats-bennet-at-colorado-dem-convention----but-the-primary-has-just-begun.php?ref=fpb

Caucuses *and* party conventions *and* primaries? o_O


Also, re: Rand Paul: This is why I am not and will never be a libertarian, small or capital L. :;rubs temples:: The unfettered free market creates all necessary civil rights, my ass. Unfettered businessmen were in power during slavery and Jim Crow. It's why the Civil Rights Act was necessary, dumb ass.

Also, also, con blogs who whine about how MSNBC and Rachel maddow wouldn't have asked such 'irrelevant' questions of a liberal candidate?

A) It's not irrelevant in light of what most libertarians believe. B) Fox News would ask all the irrelevant questions of a liberal candidate that your hypocritical hearts could desire.

I don't remember getting this much wind in Nebraska...

So this morning the wind gusts started making our rickety geriatric back fence sway in an alarming manner. Davner came home for lunch, and found that the gate had not merely blown open, but the fence was enough out of alignment that it would no longer latch. We took turns being on hold to Housing Maintenance.

While I was still listening to "If you call during peak hours such as lunch time or late evening, you may experience longer wait times...", a large chunk of fence blew down completely, smushing a cardboard transplant pot we were trying to grow beans in. (Fortunately, Rufus the preschool project bean plant and the rest of the gang were unharmed.)

Dav tried propping it back up with the bar from his weight set, but the gusts were more than the bar could stand. So now we can't let the boys play in the sandbox until it's fixed. Not that they seem to mind... They keep staring out at the collapsed fence in glee. Clearly this is the coolest thing EVER. ^_^

(no subject)

The Zodlings are both asleep. Possibly from the excitement of staring at our collapsed fence. ^_^;

I'm listening to 80's music and reading Phil Plait's Bad Astronomy (recently unearthed from my gargantuan bookmarks folders) while I wait to hear from Maintenance about the a/c. (Yeah, the fence isn't our only issue this week.)

I finally finished that long-running cross-stitch project last week. ::happy Kermit flail:: But upon closer inspection, the project I was going to start next turns out to be needlepoint, not cross-stitch. So I'm doing a little quick Wiki search on needlepoint. Looks remarkably like half-stitching in cross-stitch, only in a set pattern, and without using a hoop.

This just in: Guys from Maintenance just shoved down the other section of wobbly fence and drove away. The rest of the fence remains upright but is still swaying in the occasional gusts.
