Green People, Green Plants...

Wonderful Husband has taken to using the exercycle in the evenings for a half hour, biking whilst rewatching Marmalade Boy. Listening to it from the other room has served to remind me of my aversion to soap operas! :) We did go out to the cheapie theater yesterday, though, and saw Planet 51. Which was actually much better than I was expecting, and I don't understand how Fantastic Mr. Fox has something like a 97% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes and Planet 51 has 23%. I mean, it's no Wall-E, but it's certainly better than that rating would indicate! (Whereas Fantastic Mr. Fox... well, let's just say that Wonderful Husband and I missed out on whatever it was that everyone else sees in it.)

My seed order has been finalized and ordered and I indulged and included a heat mat to help with seed germination. I also spent quite a bit of today in the garden and, well, I hadn't realized just how big the leeks in my main patch had gotten! It takes two hands to get around some of them. The vine-fresh snow peas are also currently quite sweet and yummy. Gardening is odd in that whenever I start to get disenchanted with it, something happens to remind me how much I love it. Tons of bees hanging around the monster borage plant, and the first blossom on the johnny-jump-up I started from seed some months back. Was mused to note a bean plant poking its head up from where I grew those last year; currently that spot is full of spinach seedlings that one of the feral cats has already taken a lounge on. Le'sigh.

Back to banging my head against chapter 3 of the next Simulacra fic. At least I have a purring cat lap warmer....
