This is a conversation about a foot-long pen with a zebra-shaped head whose name is Charlie.

Tue, 02 Mar 2010 17:10:36 -0600

Me: That's a very nice pen you have there.
Jersey Mike's guy 1: This is Charlie and he's a zebra.
Me: And where did Charlie come from?
Jersey Mike's guy 1: Charlie came from a man who sells pens, who sometimes buys sub sandwiches here.
Me: I think I'll use Charlie to sign my receipt... except Charlie doesn't seem to work very well.
Jersey Mike's guy 2: That's because Charlie only works on bags.
Jersey Mike's guy 1: Charlie was born in a bag, you see, so he only writes on bags.
Me: Oh.

And if your strife strikes at your sleep
Remember spring swaps snow for leaves
You’ll be happy and wholesome again
When the city clears and sun ascends

February’s 365. I’ve been really bad about uploading this month, but I did keep taking pictures. New Month Resolution: Get back on top of this project.

Today is February 21st and these are the things I'm thankful for:

Sun, 21 Feb 2010 12:06:00 -0600

-Surprise 65-degree days in February

-Bright sun that makes my terrariums green

-Whole Foods hot breakfast bar

-Blueberry juice

-People who make incredible music

-Cozy new bed, which I will not be sitting in (much) today

-All of these people I know

ETA: Also incredibly thankful I backed up my old photos before my Macbook was stolen last year. Finally getting around to importing them and realizing how much I would’ve lost.

Art Project of the Day: “Pothole Gardens” — Graphic Design student Pete Dungey installed a number of guerrilla gardens in potholes around Brighton as part of “[a]n ongoing series of public installations highlighting the problem of surface imperfections on Britain’s roads.”

This looks like a wonderful thing to do with potholes, of which Nashville now has plenty.

Today is February 14th and these are the things that happened:

Sun, 14 Feb 2010 23:01:00 -0600

- Made my first open-air terrarium with some sort of succulent plant. Wanted a burrito plant but Home Depot didn’t have any that looked good.

- Realized how much I like this song, which is the first Gaga song I’ve actually liked (minus the Christmas song which does not count).

- My baby Fit hit 10,000 miles.

- Did not pry the light bulbs open because it’s a difficult thing to do. Will try again tomorrow.

- Melted the remaining wax out of two Yankee candle jars. Rediscovered that Goo Gone is magic.

- Sent telepathic bad vibes to the neighbor’s yappy chihuahua while I was digging up some moss in the backyard.

- Enjoyed the silence.

44/365. I made some more terrariums today. They’re starting to take over my room, just the way I like it.

43/365. Inside Cumberland Caverns. This formation kind of looks like a shark’s mouth. I also experienced complete darkness for the first time in my life. I like this cave.

(This is the end of the blog vomit, I promise. I was behind.)

41/365. Finally finished the bed transformation. My bed is my new favorite thing besides my car. The only problem is that it is now 290320913029132 times harder to scrape myself out of bed in the morning.

40/365. Morgan and Marion and I had our fourth (I think?) annual Christymas celebration, this time by ichat. It actually worked out pretty well and I got some hilarious presents including these two things and a Oscar Wilde shot glass. And yes, I am aware that this is a screen shot, but it turned out better than the actual photos.

39/365. My bed was a labor of love. I spent about five hours buiding the nightstands and bolting them onto the headboard. Bedding still on the way.

38/365. Morgan and I are on this podcast called Cinegeek sometimes, and we were among several guests on their celebratory 100th episode. It’s pretty much a riot. As soon as I left this, I got caught in a freak snowstorm and it took me about 45 minutes to get home from Madison.

Imam of Al Farooq Mosque in Nashville, TN Thanks Community for Response to Vandalism

From TIRRC:

Following an act of vandalism at Al-Farooq mosque in South Nashville on Wednesday, Feb. 10th, the Muslim community joined allies from throughout the city to reject intolerance and reaffirm our collective spirit as a Welcoming City in two events the following weekend. Leaders from throughout Nashville also drew attention to human consequences of irresponsible journalism, directing particular focus to the sensationalist New Channel 5 report Inside Islamville, which aired earlier this week.

The Scene reports:

Vandals spray-painted insults on a mosque overnight and left a threatening letter to Nashville’s Muslims. Islamic leaders blame Channel 5’s sensationalized two-night report on a crackpot organization’s unfounded accusations against a Middle Tennessee Muslim community.

The mosque is Al-Farooq Mosque on Nolensville Road, which primarily serves members of the Somali community. Vandals spray-painted “Muslims Go Home” and a Crusaders’ cross on the walls, says Salaad Nur, a mosque spokesman. He says the mosque has contacted the police and the FBI.

“They also left a letter at the youth center that says Muslims are friends of satan and we are here to destroy the United States and to destroy Israel and things of that nature,” he says. “We’re a little bit shaken up. I hope this is just a scare and things don’t get any worse than this.”
