Communicating while half asleep is always fun.
Michael lives close enough to the water to hear the train that goes by the Quay blow its whistle occasionally. It chose to do this at whatthefuck o'clock this morning. It woke me up and it went on, and on, and on... and on some more. I thought "he can't possibly be sleeping" and so I said, "do you hear this?" and he's like "mmm, train" and I said, "yes, but it's been going for like ten minutes. What's it doing?" and he responds "it has to blow its whistle" and I reply "yes, but why it is blowing it so much?" to which I think he said "mmm, it's the train".
The other thing that is currently ongoing which is really bizarre and makes no sense is my plant situation. See, I will be gone for two weeks. A week and I wouldn't worry about it, but two weeks? I think those bedraggled plants that I bought in April to spruce up my balcony (which I was sure I would have killed by late May but it wouldn't have mattered because my condo was totally going to have sold by then) are not going to last two weeks in the blazing sun (it was 27 degrees at 4 o'clock today) for two weeks sans water.
And I've been wondering what to do with them.
I should have dropped them off with my mom over the weekend, but we were on bikes so that would've been more than a little awkward.
I should have asked C to babysit them for two weeks when I saw him Saturday night. He probably would've said no, but alternatively he might have said yes but that in return I would have to do something untoward like handle a firearm or try and parallel park his Dodge Ram.
Working out in the gym today my downstairs neighbour came in. He is always exceptionally nice and pleasant to me (and might I add that his gym etiquette is 100% which is a big deal for me) and I almost asked him if he would do it (I still might, I can hear him on the deck with a buddy right now drinking beer so he'd likely be easier to coerce right now).
I even thought about bringing them with me for a little road trip, but I don't think I can take them across the border.
Speaking of the border: holy shit this whole thing with North Korea and the US is making me really nervous. Hans, you're breaking my balls here! That is one unpredictable and scary country that has the bomb.
Yeah - back to the plants. So basically I am just going to fill them with water and leave them in my kitchen sink. They'll get some sunlight and hopefully they're not rife with bugs and won't suck up the water too fast.
I mean, they cost me like $25 or something. I don't know why this is getting my knickers in a twist.
Fck, I'm weird.
Fingers crossed no one gets nuked on my vacation! At least not Seattle and Portland. Pick a red state. Would anyone miss Utah?
You're breaking my balls Hans!

You need some plant nannys. Google plant nanny. It's a good way to make use of empty bottles too. The plants in the sink trick will work fine. You may want to leave the kitchen light on too. Artificial light is better than no light at all.
Back about 20 years ago we had a neighbor who was in the military... some kind of high up secret stuff. He would ship out to South Korea all the time. This was during the time the Desert Storm shit broke out. He told us we shouldn't be alarmed about the Middle East, that wasn't where the major problem was. North Korea is what we should worry about. It's just boys with toys.... deadly toys, and who's got the biggest toy? Jerks!
