Ru at the Movies: "Night at the Museum"
Dec. 30th, 2006 02:16 amVisiting relatives wanted to see a movie today, so we tagged along with them to go see "Night at the Museum" My short, overall reaction to it is that it was cute. It wasn't particularly deep, or necessarily historically accurate or whatnot, but it was cute and fluffy and not a bad way to spend a couple of hours.

On a different note, I think I'm becoming holidayed out. I'm really, desperately wishing for some real down time, but I doubt I'm going to get it, since I don't think relatives are going to be leaving until Jan. 2, which is when I go back to work. *sigh* Maybe I'll find some way to get away for a couple hours and use that Jingle Spells bath bomb hiding under my sink.

Avocadocumentary--Part 8
Dec. 30th, 2006 03:58 pmA couple of days ago, I had an Avobaby-related nightmare--I dreamt that somebody had cut off all of Avobaby's leaves, leaving nothing but a bare stick in a pot. It was very sad, and I'm glad it was only a dream. No beheading of Avobaby allowed! ;_;
Anyway, things have been pretty quiet on the Avobaby front, so only one picture this time around. So instead, I took a snapshot of my other plant project, whom I have affectionately named Potatobob. Also, cookies!
( Pictures ahoy! )
On a different, sadder note, I discovered today that my ornamental sweet potato has an awful, awful case of spider mites. I'm inclined to think that it may be terminal, because it's looking pretty bad, and treating it would be very difficult, particularly since there are plants on the windowsill (including Avobaby) over the treatment area--i.e., the sink, and I don't want them to catch them as well. It's currently sitting in the garage right now as I debate whether or not it would be worth it to undertake the challenge of treating it. The other thing that bothers me is that it had been sitting in a group of other plants, so I'm concerned that the others might have caught them. I've spread the ones that were closest to it out, and I'm gonna have to watch them for several days to see if they develop signs of infestation as well. I should really pay more attention to that voice in the back of my head that looks at a plant and goes, "Hm. It may just be me, but that plant doesn't look right."
But in the meantime, *sadface*.
