I need to stop reading macro communities over my wife's shoulder.

I finally got our potted plant garden potted today. We now have a vinca vine, an oregano, a mint, and a candy corn plant the blossoms of which really do look like candy corn as promised. My mom also gave us a potted tomato plant. I rarely eat tomatoes, but Mel likes them and they're fun to try and keep alive. I had been putting of planting the garden, but I really had a surprising amount of fun and by the end was actively wishing I had more plants. I haven't really done anything with horticultural since I was a child helping my dad in the garden. I didn't like it then. I am pleasantly surprised to find that I like it now.

I received an advertisement today via Careerbuilder saying that my old employers, Namco/Bandai are looking for a marketing director. Sounds sweet except I don't want to move to California.

It says the position is in Santa Clara, California. I hate Santa Clara. You know what I hate about it?

You guessed it. All the damn vampires.

Ooh, they're quite beautiful! They look like little flames! I'm actually secretly attempting to grow some Japanese melons and gourds from questionable packets of 7 year old seeds I found collecting dust in an Asian market. Amazingly enough some of the seeds have started to sprout with some encouragement... I can't wait to see what happens (although all the instructions are in Japanese). ^.^;

Well if seeds that are hundreds of years old can sprout surely seven year old ones can. And in any language!
