His Name is Icarus Now

[jpegghost]

Hi, I'm alive. I just have finals. I've completed three finals of my six classes so far -- Got a 97 in sociology, a 94 in business law, and a 94 in mortuary administration. I wasn't too worried about them other than business law because I hate, and will rant about, how prohibitive the language is in it. Today in theory will be microbiology, anatomy, and embalming. It's hard to believe this semester has come to an end, it felt like a nonstop cortisol ride until the very end.

In other news, my basil in my aerogarden is dramatic. He's gotten so big that he steals all the other plant's water (to the point I must refill it daily) and takes up so much of the light that the other plants cannot get any adequate nutrition and the dumbass burns his leaves (hence his new name). FINE, I thought, I'll repot him. Naughty plants go in the shame jar.

He immediately reacted by doing this:



Little asshole. I gave him more water and more light, and after two hours it was like it had never happened.



LITTLE ASSHOLE. I was prepared to give him funeral rites and EVERYTHING.

The aerogarden mint, by the way, now that the basil is gone, is thriving. Alex wants it and has even named her Denjah -- He said it's the Korean equivalent of a white trash name. I love it.

The day before we went to our favorite local record shop, which has so far weathered the pandemic and had a soft opening that day. The record store only allowed in 6 people (including the employees) at a time, and masks were required, so we were happy to wait outside for a bit to get in. I got a Bunny Berrigan vinyl :^) The outside of the shop got a paint job, too!




Okay time to work on my microbiology study guide wehhhwhhhhhh

I feel like you're just primed to give funeral rites now. ANY EXCUSE WILL DO

Also congratulations on your super grades!

At any given moment, I will give funeral rites. I am TRAINED in this art. Like a snake waiting for a mouse to drop into it's cage, I'm looking for the right opportunity.

Thanks! I'm about to go do anatomy, which I'm absolutely not looking forward to as I'm in a severe brain fog from studying and work but. BUT! When it's over I can sleep without worrying about assignments!

Congrats on the exams!

Yes, my basil is also dramatic. My tomatoes are growing like weeds, though. We’ll see if they give me any juicy fruit.... (All the lettuces bolted and perished, alas.)

[jpegghost]

Thanks! I can't wait to be done with these classes.

Aw, your poor lettuce! I hope the tomatoes go well -- How do you keep your basil in line? Mine is always fussy about something.

[dark_phoenix54]

OMG a record store still exists! That makes me so happy, even though I'm a continent away from it. I haven't seen one in years!

[jpegghost]

It's a great one! I love going there, I'm happy it survived Covid.

Congrats on finishing up three of your finals (and kicking butt on them too)!

That basil is definitely dramatic, lol. I'd have been prepared to give last rights as well.

And yay for record shops that still exist. I love the art outside the shop.

[jpegghost]

Thanks!

The basil is so over the top lollll I'm sick of him already, but he gives me tasty leaves so ...?

[alee_grrl]

The tasty leaves are a good reason to keep him around, even if he is a complete drama llama and diva of a plant. lol

[jpegghost]

Like I said sis -- Naughty plants go in the shame jar, and he is condemned to it FOREVER.

So glad for you doing well in your classes! Good luck with the other three!

Dramatic basil is dramatic. LOL.

The name of our local record shop is Cheap Thrills. That always gives me a giggle. Glad your shop is still surviving!

[jpegghost]

Thanks! I hope it'll go okay!

I love Cheap Thrills, that's a great name. I hope they survived covid okay!

[amejisuto]

I don't go there, it's off my bus route, but I hope they survived okay too.
