In Which I Finally Get Some Culture
Jun. 2nd, 2017 12:44 pmI'm making a short video of my garden efforts this weekend and I'm considering getting a little fancy and using iMovie to edit it a bit. I kinda want to do something above a Facebook live stream but not stupidly elaborate. The garden looks great except one tomato that seems to have brown spots all over the leaves and isn't thriving - I've never seen this issue before so I'm going to hit GardenWeb after dinner. It's supposed to be very rainy this weekend, but I'm not holding my breath.
Today's mail is bringing me a new kombucha scoby! Last year I got really into fermenting and brewing, but I let a couple of batches of 'booch slide and the scobys died. Which reminds me, my kimchi is almost gone, so I should dump the old stuff and make a fresh batch. I also have a ton of spicy pickled turnips to eat. Anyway. I went ahead and made the tea and rinsed my brewing jars in anticipation of the mail delivery. If she comes at her normal Friday time, the tea will have cooled enough that I can go ahead and pop the scoby in. If I remember correctly it takes about seven days for the basic brew, then I used to flavor for three days in swing-top bottles. That builds up fizz and makes it taste good.
On the whole things are going well, and my medication is built up to the point that I'm only slightly thinking, when is the other shoe going to drop? Fox has the rest of the materials to finish the deck - quite literally. He even bought the sheet metal for the roof. I still haven't heard from the doctors or anything, but I suppose that's better than them calling up and asking, "Uh, can you come in like, right now?"
I don't even know why I'm bothering in some ways, it looks like the whole planet is going to hell, and taking all of us with it. Excuse the short political rant, but I seriously don't want to hear anything about abortions now, because it looks to me like humanity's death warrant has just been signed in the name of unfettered profit for big business. Honestly, why am I watching my health anymore? Why shouldn't I just go buy myself a couple of cases of wine and spend what little life we all have left shitfaced? We're at the point where nothing will save us, and we have these smug assholes saying shit like, yeah, Jesus told us to be stewards of the land, but that doesn't mean I have to care about climate change. Because Jesus was always pulling sarcastic jokes like that, right? That Jesus, what a kidder. Ha ha.
Okay, I'm done for right now.
Oh, and the North Atlantic hurricane season started and there's no one in charge of NOAA. Hmm.
Anyway, if the video comes out all right I'll probably post it. Why not, right?
