Recently, Laura let me borrow the book Animal, Vegetable, Miracle and it has inspired me to try to grow some of my own food. Living in an apartment in a big city has made that a little difficult, so I picked this basil plant up at the farmers market yesterday as a way to get started. I guess it’s kind of cheating because it was already big and healthy to begin with but come on, it’s a start.

Oh, and any good basil recipes would be much appreciated.

Will Arnett was awesome on Parks and Rec this week.

No, badgers.

One of these days (tomorrow) I’ll learn how to use my new camera properly. Till then, here’s a pleasantly blurry photo of G snuggling with Tristan. She also snuggled a lot with Mary. A lot of belly rubs were cadged from both. Then Tristan wrestled with her vigorously, including with the giant prawn who has been mentioned here previously. G is now passed on on account of exertion.

Gemma is my new favorite thing about Chicago.

OMG.

I think that we’re all pretty interesting,

and that all of you are pretty interesting.

And I think that maybe there’s a show in there somewhere

which would be called A Chorus Line.

Just watched this movie for the third time. It’s worth watching just for the Paul audition. Go see it.

Neil Young - Don’t Cry No Tears

I’m going through a little Neil Young phase right now.

Enid: Oh my god, he just ordered a giant glass of milk.
Josh: That’s a vanilla milkshake.

My favorite movie. Laura and I always name our trivia teams “Wowsville” after this restaurant.
