Dr Horrible's Sing Along Blog

This is absolutely wonderful. ESPECIALLY if you like Joss Whedon, or Nathan Fillion.

disillusioned sue

i have never been more astonished and horrified at finding out the true nature of some of  my friends by what they can say in one sentence or less. There is no reason to be so crude and cruel, even if you are disappointed. Gee, thanks Facebook, for causing me to lose a little hope in a few more people who are supposed to be the salt of the earth. 

That's what I call a true disappointment.

It'll all be over soon

I voted. Yay on me. If you did - Yay on you!

If you haven't voted yet-

Like my sister said - make sure you vote for someone, and not against someone.

There's no room for hate or disrespect in this or any election. Or at least there shouldn't be. 

a piece of glass to catch the sun

I bought some glass to catch the sun

All wrapped in plain white paper

I brought it home and set it up

between a plant and taper

I went to sleep where dreams of light

and colored glass did caper

But when I woke, I rose to find

my vision but a vapor.

The sun was laughing far behind

a cloud that stretched an acre. 

Savor your glee, my pane will shine

I tell the sun with candor.

A Visit to Pittsburgh. 

Today we went to a coffee shop that I wish was near us. This is only a picture of the counter, but it had 2 more large rooms that were decorated with old 50s chrome kitchen table, with hideous thrift store lamps - it was absolutely amazing! It's called The Beehive. So cool.

This is a picture of Grant and Elyse waiting for their beverages. Note the whimsical clouds painted onto the ceiling. 

We also saw this trash can covered with stickers. G and I have one of these type of trash cans, but its blue. Now we totally have to plaster it with stickers!

My Basil Plant 

It was seeds in August, it grew and I haven't killed it yet! 

I am not the best with plants. I've killed cacti. It takes a high level of disregard to accomplish that! Unlike puppies or kitties, plants to not cry when they are thirsty. so it becomes difficult to remember when they don't grab you attention.

For years, I have wanted to grow my own herbs. I realized that my track record was atrocious, and decided to work out a system. A self watering system, that is. I used the design from this Instructable (with a prettier V8 Fusion bottle), some basil seeds and viola! About once a week I refill the water in the bottom of the bottle. It's been growing really well. I decided it was old enough to start using the leaves. 

Since my initial experiment has worked out so well, I bout a few flowers at Produce Junction, and am attempting to do the same. The reservoirs are smaller, so I might have to refill them more often. That is where HassleMe comes into play.  It is a website that emails you to hassle you to do things. You tell it to hassle you approximately every (blank) days, and it will! I set mine for approximately 3 days. 

It's not so hard to remember, now that they live inside. But it will probably be harder in the summer.

I want one! Plus I learned how to embed videos into my blog!

Something wicked this way comes

Doug's Halloween party was fun for all! Here is a photo of the sign I painted for the party. Skeleton and coffin will have to be added next year.  

This is a photo of Doug modeling his Jack Sparrow wig after he finished it while hanging at my place. 

And here I am, rocking the Juno look!

Not a bad match.

Graining a Hardwood floor

This week I've been painting a hardwood floor. I thought I'd take pictures of the steps. Obviously these are from my camera, so the colors are off a bit.

This is one of the coolest things I've seen for a while.

Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday Daddy!

more pictures

If you're not sick of pictures of Talley's Folly stuff - there are are more of the professional pictures on the McCarter website here.

sneak peek it is

Well - this is a rough idea of what it's going to be. The graphic might be a bit different, and it will probably say "jasonnixon.net" instead of just his name. But the color scene is pretty much on target. 

This was the first one i suggested. I thought it was pretty. but a little girly I guess!

PICTURE!

This is the first of the real photos that McCarter has put up on their site of Talley's Folly! 

Isn't it pretty!?
