well.... my compost bucket stinks. i don't know what happened, but what was once a lovely bucket of properly-heated, well-mixed, sponge-like material became a goopy dripping mess overnight and BOY did it stink. ew ew ew. but, no compost shall be thrown away! i cleaned up the leakage and added some more carbon material (i.e. broccoli stalks and leaves gathered from the alley) and will now hope for the best. perhaps i will come by some red worms and make a proper urban compost bin under my sink, letting the wrigglers do all the work of de-stinkifying my waste. worms anyone? check these guys out, they're making a killing from worms: http://www.terracycle.net/
in other news- i saw "breach" last, which reaffirmed my theory that chris cooper has the capacity to be infinitely creepy in the role of uber-patriotic american. unfortunately, the sound system at the theater was seriously fucked, which made it almost impossible for me to concentrate for about five minutes before using all the willpower i possess to turn off the static sensory repector in my brain. i went out to the tell the manager and apparently i was the second person to do so, the first having already cause the poor fellow to start sweating excessively. before opening my mouth there was a moment in which i considered, 'maybe i should spare this guy the heart attack he seems prepared to have." never! i require retribution for the suffering of my poor little ears. this came in the form of two free passes. aw ya.

Never pass up an opportunity to make the movie you just paid $8 to see watchable — or at lease get free passes.
I sent a gifty-gift home for you with pops, but apparently you haven't crossed paths in several days. Make a special trip to the soft loft for your souvineer from TJefferson's hometown!
Sorry to hear about the bucket. Not sure broccoli is going to sweeten the pot, however.
I am posting again, although with nothing new to say, just to show my love for Shleydom.
Awww...that's sweet. I too love Shleydom, but have been perplexed by what comment I want to make about the stinking compost. As I don't know what was in it to begin with my best guess is that some potato skins got in there? That is the one thing that I find gets really stinky in a funky stew like that.
And your Righteous Indignation was well aimed at the theatre management. It was only right that they comped you two tickets. I complained when we went to see Walk the Line because the speakers were turned up so loud when the movie started it was seriously hurting my ears. The slack-jawed attendant I reported the problem to evidently took my concern seriously enough to report it to someone who knew where the volume knob was. But yer seester is right...for $8 a ticket you need to hear no static!
here in waste-producing colorado we pay $9 for a movie ticket, which means i DEFINATELY shouldn't hear no static!
... i like the 'choose your identity' option on blogger posts- i think i'll be eleanor roosevelt. though she NEVER would've used a double negative in a sentence. ain't no way!
(indeed, i think it was the potatoes i threw in the bin that produced such awfulness)
Shleydom was all the talk at my book club tonight! Yes, the Shley is now well known in West KY. The book we were discussing was "fast food nation" and I told the other ladies at the club all about your interest in the 100 mile challenge (which some of them had heard of) and some of the things you had observed in working on the farm, and where you work now, and how you often use the word "disconnect" to describe today's food consumer. That book will really wake you up and literally make you sick about corporate agriculture and fast food in general.
Anyway, if you ever want to come sign autographs I think you already have a fan club here.
BOTH of you blogmistresses have a fan club in Springfield, Mo.
