HOWEVER, I am mentioning this because David Suchet played a bad guy! With long manlocks...and an eye patch. And I am sure that David Suchet is a fine actor and has done many fine and laudatory roles...but he will always be Poirot...and it was weird seeing Poirot be skeevy and eye patch-y.
And that's what I get for not checking the weather. I know better. I live in Ohio, and it is spring. It could rain eels and butterfingers and be par for the course.
Me: No, I couldn't make them love me so I gave up and moved on. Now I'm trying to get the girl in the kimono to dig me.
Friend: Huh, good luck with that.
Me: Yup, let's have pancakes.
I've been playing Hakuoki: Demon of the Fleeting Flower and have come to the realization that I am not the right sort of player for this game as I lack an intrinsic understanding of vampire samurai phsycology and am thus unable to get their attention and fill up my lurv meters. Cuz that's the point of the game, not saving the capital from the samurai vampires. So, idk. So I moved on to Persona 4, a game in which I ignore my friends to hang out with polygons.
Also flisties, anyone have an good recipes that use beans/quinoa/lentils (not neccessarily all of them!). Cleaned out the pantry and have lots legumes and whole grains that need to get use up.
It is probably too late to plant my sugar snap peas, but I will anyways. It's going to thunder storm on and off for the next three days here in NE Ohio, but then it looks like it will have a span of good, clear days, so that means time to till and turn up earth!
I have been babbling alot about gardening adn not so much about books, and I apologize for that.
So, here's a list of the holds that came in for me at the library:
Ghostly Matters: Haunting and the Sociological Imagination by Avery F. Gordon
Pox Americana: The Great Smallpox Epidemic of 1775-82 by Elizabeth A. Fenn
The Medieval Hero on Screen: Representations from Beowulf to Buffy edited by Marth W. Driver and Sid Ray (I've started this and find the essays to be either brilliant or sorta obvious)
Picturing Heaven in Early China by Lillian Lan-yin Tseng
I realize that I read a lot of non-fiction and never share what I am reading.
JUST FOUND OUT:...the landlord's stupid landscaping crew tore up our garden strip and freaking weedwacked my strawberry plants. I am so pissed. It also looks like they scraped up a bunch of the topsoil we paid for and stole soil that I've been developing tilth in for like two years. SOOOOOOOOOO EFFING ANGRY. I am sure that landlord didn't remember to tell them we were gardening (our landlord is forgetful and kinda manic, but a great landlord, he's not the problem, just the idiots he hires. I swear they are ripping him off.) but the trampling of my freshly tilled soil is so aggravating.
I thought it was pretty good, but am increasingly made uncomfortable my scenes in which women are grabbed/touched by men and then continue the threatening/invasive behavior even after they are asked to stop.
BUT, Ermine:
Kickass ladies in Victorian men's dress, why yes, I will take some of that:
I have heard good thins about Raintree Nursery and many of my small space gardening books mention them as a good source for hard to find plants, so we shall see how this goes!
