Thanks to Patty, yes, I have seen SinFest over the last several days.

It's really the braces that kill me.

Meanwhile, Top 100 Hot Butches.

We're having a Pepper Frenzy. There are currently 4 peppers on one plant (soon to be as many as nine -- one bud broke off); and buds on the other two plants.

- The Czech bush tomato plant finally has two tiny tomatoes growing.

- Green zebras continue to grow.

- Flowers on other tomato plants, unsure if there are tomatos yet.

- Have noticed some small insects that seem to be breeding on some of the tomato plants -- little white things that then turn into little green things. Is this symbiosis or do I need to intervene? And if so, how? My instinct is to clean the leaves with rubbing alcohol, but I don't imagine that's good for the plants. Help!

- The basil is managing well and we've been eating a lot of it.

- The rosemary and lavender have both taken various hits from birds trying to take them for nest materials, but overall are doing well.

Still reading The Angel's Cut. More when I am done -- it's nice to be reading again. Wish I knew a little bit less about the period of this book, not that the author gets is wrong at all, but I'm doo aware of the non-fictional versions of some of her characters. Also, am now noticing some of the themes she insists on visiting over and over again, and I feel.... disturbed. But again, more later!

Oh yay, new Torchwood tie-in novels are in the mail to me!

We just bought ALL THE TICKETS EVER to the BAM Next Wave festival as well as to Street Car (Cate! Sydney people! yay!)

I can't wait for July. This month is Kicking My Ass.

When I've time, lots on Iran, journalism, Neda, etc. It may not be until July.

Need to go look over a pegging fic for someone.

Woah. Audition excitement. Neat.

Am caught up on True Blood.

Lovely. Crazy Fred Phelps & Co. are now targeting Jews.

Am totally wondering what America will think of the pretty awful Merlin. It's diverting enough, but I don't resonate with any of the characters, find the show utterly devoid of emotional logic and just keep watching for the "what the fuck?" factor. I get being amused by it, as I am and Patty and I have been watching it and are entertained, but I don't get the degree to which people are into it. Gay subtext does not automatically make a show worthy of our attention, fandom.

Oh my glamorous life!

Haha! I thought of you as well when I saw those Sinfest's.

Thanks for the Top Hot Butch Links, my GF and I are currently drooling over the pics together.

The Israeli Mainstream news are always on top of the Antisemitism stories, good to have a link in English, thanks.
