gardening and gaucho

lkm went on a gardening spree this week. in clearing out a year's worth of weeds, she found that we had rosemary, lavender, and tyme plants in our front yard. she dried some out and used it for food. so with about 10 days left on our lease, we're just now settling into the place.

i bought a hammock in baja about 6 years ago and i've carried it from house to house with me in hopes of finding a good spot for it. its never been put up. i thought it would be when we moved into lundys lane. it sat on the "to do" list for the first month, then fell off our radar completely, eventually drowning alongside the note to paint over the pink cabinets. that never got done either... a fact that probably bothers lkm more than me (sometimes its good to be color blind). two days ago i finally put the hammock up. and its damn comfortable.

another thing i recently rediscovered is wednesday night at amnesia. met up with eb white, patrick, and ashley to see gaucho gypsy jazz band on wednesday. gaucho puts on a one-of-a-kind show, complete with fans in old tyme costumes dancing the lindy hop and jitterbug- a throw back to a time when no one looked like they knew how to dance. gaucho includes the infamous ralph carney who blows his top on a regular basis. the more i find out about this guy, the stranger he seems (proof: this 1983 B-52's show that he plays horn on).
