some flowers appeared in my yard. well, the dandelion showed up yesterday. these are different. they're very tiny... in a bed of tiny duck-foot shaped leaves growing on runnings, little rounded 1/2" clusters of white flowers growing on a 2-3" stem appeared. it smells vaguely like a cress, has a square stem... i have no clue what it is.

today, i have some grocery odds and ends shopping to do--hit the asian market, WF, IY... anyone want to join me?

i realized that, while it may seem that everyone knows everyone on LJ, that's not always the case.

So... I'm dreadfully sorry for not sharing GodHatesShrimp until now. I just sort of figured y'all knew about it. ;)

So, a couple years ago, I repeatedly giggled as I linked stories of snakeheads (the fish) found in Maryland gravel pits and rivers. I mostly linked to them to make explodingcat and dkchapman snort in consternation.

Well, now SciFi has a new series coming up... Snakehead Terror.

How odd. There's nothing to watch, so we have Beavs & Butthead on (M2)... every so often, a message starts scrolling across the bottom of the screen. before long, the bottom 1/3 of the screen gets blacked out. The first time, it blacked out fairly quickly, the second time, it blacked out after most of the message played. I can't figure out if the network is trying to spread a message that dish doesn't want, or if something else is going on.

Attention Echostar/Dish Network subscribers. You may soon LOSE channels such as: BET, MTV, VH1, Comedy Central, Nickelodeon, Nick at Nite, and many other channels like Nickolodeon and MTV. Call Dish network NOW at 1800 333 Dish and tell them you want these channels.

it reads something like that, anyway. quite odd. i guess it has something to do with the echostar/viacom carriage dispute?
