Look what I did...


I have been gardening a little this year and this is my first harvest. While I was raised gardening every year. I have little experience in planning a garden, my main set of skills was following directions in planting, weeding and harvesting. so I am trying to figure out how to space things and when to harvest them etc.

This year I planted 2 tomato plants, a red and green bell pepper, a zucchini and half a dozen each green bean and snow pea plants. As seen above I have snow peas and lettuce. I planted a second round of lettuce tonight to work on replacing the one I harvested. I think I harvested it a little latter than I should have so I will pick it earlier next time. I moved the Zucchini plant to its own container because it was overwhelming the space it was in we'll see if it kills it. Fingers crossed. In the process of moving it I found the foot long zucchini hidden in the leaves. I don't think you are supposed to let it get that big either so I am not sure it it is still edible. Anyway I am learning a lot so hopefully next year will go better.

With My Freaze Ray I Will Stop The World

Well the Emmy nominations were announced today and I was supper exited at one of the nominees. About 6 months ago my friend introduced me to this:



As stated on wikipedia: "it is a 43-minute musical film, initially produced exclusively for Internet distribution in 2008. It tells the story of Dr. Horrible, an aspiring supervillain; Captain Hammer, his nemesis; and Penny, their mutual love interest.

The movie was penned during the WGA writers' strike. The idea was to create something small and inexpensive, yet professionally done, in a way that would circumvent the issues that were being protested during the strike."

I could not have said it better my self. I thought it was very hilarious when I first saw it and I was supper exited today to see that it has been nominated for an Emmy. That's right EMMY!

Its category is:

Outstanding Special Class - Short-format Live-Action Entertainment Programs

and the nominees are:

30 Rock's Kenneth the Web Page

Battlestar Galactica: The Face Of The Enemy

Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog •

I read today also that Niel Patrick Harris Dr. Horrible himself is going to host the Emmy's and that he might even reprise his role as part of the shows entertainment. All this boils down to I AM WATCHING THE EMMY'S THIS YEAR.

Amen.
