It's not a very photogenic household... that pile of stuff Herbert is sitting on is basically the same as the rest of the house right now. I don't have time to clean - finals week is killing me! Still, there's always time for random pictures! This as close as I could get to a picture of everyone: that's Elliot's tail, my foot, and Herbert's look of mingled horror and disgust is being directed towards Teen who is cavorting off-camera.

Thief!!!!

My poor Charlie-Brown's-Christmas looking lemon tree, which has enough of a complex sitting next to the neighbor's fat and glossy lime tree, has been vandalized. Somebody stole one of my beautiful lemons last night. This wouldn't be quite as much of a big deal if I hadn't only had two to begin with! Bitches.

I am working my way through season 2 of House this weekend. I keep waiting for Hugh Laurie to do something funny - everytime he goes googly-eyed I get all giggly. Robert Sean Leonard is a welcome bonus... Swing heil Peter! Swing heil!!!!! Maybe when I'm done with this I'll pull out Dead Poets Society just to top everything off. Between epispodes, I've been cooking. I got a new cookbook by Rick Bayless as an early christmas present and every recipe in there looks good... right now I'm making a variation on the slow-cooked chicken with tomatillos, potatoes, and jalapenos, all of which I picked up for super-cheap at the market this weekend. I filled up my whole backpack with produce! Unfortunately, I didn't bother to get any lemons...

I don't always see my mother in myself, but this picture reminds me of her. I wish I was more like her in a lot of ways... it's nice to be able to see the similarities sometimes.
