Tom Scharpling’s rant on iPhones in August 2007. He used Basil as an example.

basil, we’ll miss you :( thank you for helping me get rid of all those pea shoots!

it’s (almost) summer in the garden now! here’s pictures from the first half of may!

2 perfectly ripe strawberries. i haven’t had any problems with snails or birds, and the berries are tiny but a million times sweeter than anything i get from the store

future black cherry tomatoes! they’re starting to get ripe!

MY FIRST EDAMAMES they were delicious

a beautiful head of what’s supposed to be purple cauliflower. it’s broccoli. it tastes just like broccoli, it looks more like broccoli than cauliflower - it’s broccoli.

that being said, i don’t think there’s anything wrong with being the kyle kinane reblog machine. here’s a picture i took of him at his set at bar of the gods, in portland OR

here’s a picture of the best fried chicken sandwich i’ve ever eaten.

I like cheap beer, tribute bands, and processed foods, and I’m not apologizing for it anymore. The simpleton revolution starts today!

kylekinane:

Mighty nice of Kyle Ryan and the good folks at the Onion to think I may have something interesting to say.

kyle might be my favorite standup comic in los angeles right now, and that is saying a fucking lot considering how many great comedians live in la. read this interview, buy his cd, watch the cartoon, go see his shows, and for the love of god don’t make a joke about how he looks like the fish sticks guy because i’m sure he’s heard every last fucking one of those

for the second year in a row, i found myself forced to hang out with some jerks who made me do horrible things like not sleep and eat unhealthy food and laugh at people FOR FUN, LIKE A TOTAL JERK WOULD DO

look at those fucking jerks

omg this lady has problems

oh no ITS COMING RIGHT FOR ME

(more pictures can be found on my flickr stream, which is in the same place it’s always been goddammit, and i will have garden updates sometime next week)

flowers were such an afterthought when i got my garden plot. all i wanted to plant was stuff to eat! i ended up getting some flower mixes to throw down on bare spots, so butterflies and bees would pollinate all the vegetables, and now i’m kind of wishing i had planted more.

this isn’t focused right, but it’s still neat looking

lavender picotee sweet pea (picotee means that a flower is 2 colors, look it up)

tiny little snapdragons (these are like, 4 inches tall)

a lil ladybug

the sun is a lens flare

“violet queen” cauliflower - april 1, 2010

in southern california, we’re lucky to have excellent weather that lets people garden year-round. where i live, in west hollywood, it’s almost a 365-day growing season. it’s rare that we have a killing frost, so cool-season vegetables like peas, lettuce, radishes, and the like can be grown from basically october to march/april. in all that time, what do i have to show for myself?

HELLA PEAS (for a 2x3 planting. i have a bag in the freezer that i’m going to weigh once the last plant gets ripped out)

SO MUCH LETTUCE OF ALL COLORS (if all = reddish brown to yellowy green)

PURPLE CARROTS AND SOME REGULAR CARROTS TOO

OH MY GOODNESS LOOK AT THE RAINBOW OF RADISHES

i hope to repeat this post in 6 months except with heirloom tomatoes, an embarrassment of basil, too much squash, and the like.
