On So Long, Winter (For Now)

whoops, my bad - reading without coffee.

do you know what kind of crocus you have? i have two types, one that blooms earlier (they're all done now), with small (and only purple) flowers, and what may be vernus, which are large and bloom in purple, yellow, white, and white with purple veins.

On So Long, Winter (For Now)

the flower in that first photo is an aconite, not a buttercup. same family, different genus. and your mystery bulbs are crocus.

On 'Clan Of The Cave Bear': Neanderthal Fan Fic

we read the sexy bits of "the mammoth hunters" to each other in summer camp the year the book came out. not bad for 9th graders in 1985.

i remember being kinda grossed out when i saw a photo of auel. that dumpy woman was writing that stuff? yeesh.

in other news, damn, i'm old.

On Goodbye Algebra!

the lyrics to every single Duran Duran song ever are permanently etched in my brain. i'm sure it's why I had such problems with the bar. "the rule against perpetuities? that's in charge of finding treasure in the dark, right?"

On Was the Met's McQueen Show Just Camp with Cruddy Techno?

The same criticism might said of his runway shows, but to my mind, those presentations are not really a showcase of the design so much as they are an effort to sell product on behalf of an army of talent

and the exhibit was not an effort to sell product? please.
