Randomata for May 23rd, 2005

• Our Take Back The Backyard campaign has begun in earnest; we are covering the entire yard in cardboard and mulch to get a fresh start.
• Our gardening philosophy is 99% organic.  There is no getting around the fact that morning glory must be poisoned.
• Here's some E3/LA photos.
• Camille continues to be full of life, but it's clear she's getting tired.
• Unusual Cards are cool.
• My mother is now charmingly referring to the Internet as "Google."
• The appeal of my new Rat City Roller Girls t-shirt spanned my entire work day.  I received compliments on it this morning from my favorite barista and this evening from my favorite homeless guy who stakes out the parking lot.
• I suspect that this Memorial Day will mark the 11th year in a row I've failed to attend the Folk Life Festival. 
• Jessamyn documents extreme asshattery masquerading as erudition.
• Last night Dia made our favorite spring pasta.  Hooray for Fava Beans!
• According to Google The Internet RateMyProfessor.com my brother is an excellent professor who talks fast and rates a 3 on the "hotness" scale.  Way to go bro.
