It’s a grass. It flowers infrequently, has been used for everything from flooring to bike frames, and you can’t kill it. It’s beautiful but resilient, tough and able to withstand extreme circumstances. My favorite cohort at work bought me a little bamboo plant and brought it in this morning. Of course, on the way into work, it toppled over, littering her passenger seat with shiny, wet rocks. But she was so proud, and I was so grumpy when I got in. She made me smile. The plant makes me smile. It’s the small things, grasses in colorful pots, and good intentions that really make things better.
I almost didn’t make it in to work today….moods. Gotta love them. But I changed my mind about smoking, and I will do the same with my moods. It’s the only thing I have to combat what’s going on right now.
- There is gelatin in fat free sour cream. Okay, so that wasn’t a happy thought really, but I figured it would be good to share that information, just in case you were curious.
- Hellboy comes out this weekend! Wh00t and shit. D and I are going to Cinetopia to see it. I can’t wait.
- Saturday is the Night Ride. I’m going to collect my pennies and try to get together costumes for the ride. We registered for it this weekend. It looks to be a crazy old time.
- On Sunday we are going to a crafts thingy up in the NW. I wanted to watch people blow glass.
- I’ve been playing COD4 between planning my novel and watching the Ghost in the Shell series. All of this is good stuff.
About
My husband is enamored with bamboo … and if I let him, we’d have a whole “bamboo” room … but still yes, very pretty and not even *I* of the black thumb have been able to kill it.
I wanted to plant some in the yard. But it’s impossible to keep tidy. It likes to take over. But it is awfully pretty.
If you haven’t killed bamboo yet, then you are ready for a spider plant.
They are hard to kill too.
That series is by far my fav…I am far from an anime connoisseur, but it’s the only one that is deep enough to not be brain candy and not too deep you want to pluck your brains out through your eyes, plus the main character is a bad ass chick…and it’s beautiful.
