- If I was your girlfriend, would you let me dress you—I mean help you pick out your clothes—before we go out?
- Love is forever—that's all your life. Love is heaven sent. It's glamorous
- You may be an embarrassment, but I love the way your clothes were never in style
- I still feel the chill as I reveal my shame to you. I wear it like a tattoo
- You give us a tantrum and a know-it-all grin, just when we need one, when the evening's thin
- I'm not asking much of you—just sing, little darling, sing with me
- Come on, honey—let's go make some noise

My Mutant Flower
Here's one last shot of my favorite flower. It looks exactly the same on the other side.
A Spectral Flower
I was tending to the garden this weekend when I spotted a flower in one of the lamb's ear plants. I barely touched it with the clippers, just to get a better look, and it broke off (and quickly withered away). It already looked magical, with its translucency and black lines, and the sudden death only added to the effect. Later, Adam suggested it might have been a mushroom rather than part of the lamb's ear plant. I can't find anything online either way.

My Mutant Flower
I've been spending quite a bit of time tending to the garden this summer—I've enjoyed it more than I would've expected, although I shouldn't be surprised because at some point it's not unlike editing. Also, it gives me a reason to be outside. I could do without having to mass-murder Japanese beetles, though; if we ever buy a house, we'll skip the roses.
Mushrooms (including stinkhorns!) haven't been the only strange news around our place. My favorite flower is a mutant, two purple daisies (or daisy-like flowers—I'm not good with the flower names yet) that are conjoined. I noticed it before it was a just a bud, and last weekend the petals really began growing. Adam hates it, but I think it's makes all the other daisies look dull.

I'm just saying...
- Who put Wilco on my iTunes?
- Shops should put out the Mother's Day cards and the Father's Day cards at the same time.
- There are times when screw-top wine is a godsend.
- I never feel quite so boring as when someone asks me how my dog is
- Why doesn't Hershey make full-size Krackel bars when they're the ones most people go for in the Hershey Miniature packages?
- Facebook (the idea): 10. Facebook (the execution): 4. Facebook (my interest in the people who run it): 0.
- I spent most of "The Descendants" asking, "Why would he do that?"
- Please don't use the phrase "secret sauce" to refer to anything other than an actual sauce.
- I would like Mazzy Star to do an album of Cole Porter ballads.
- "The Hunger Games" freaks me out.
- The word "wifey" makes everyone look bad.
- I think kidney beans might be underrated. I'm as surprised as you are.
