This is me, in Manga

Do you like this? Should I use it?

Does it look like me?



Made from Face Your Manga.

Hunter Parrish (Silas Botwin) on Broadway!?

From the Weeds Facebook fan page:
"Want more of Weeds hottie Hunter Parrish? Then check him out in Broadway’s groundbreaking hit musical Spring Awakening, beginning August 18th. Parrish will play the central role of Melchoir, a brilliant young radical and it is rumored that he will be showing off some of his 'assets'."

Weeds - Season 4 - Episode 10: The Love Circle Overlap

Ok, is it just me, or did the last two episodes start getting heavier and heavier??

Has Nancy found her new Juda?
Will Rad's Mom break Silas' heart?
Is Shane going to snap?

Is Nancy getting soft? She had some gangster in her, but she's all but totally lost it. Now that trafficking involves more than just some illicit substances, it's all too much for her. I guess she's always had a moral code, but she's definitely being pushed way far outside her comfort zone (so much so that she's physically pained by migraines?).

"F*ck you Juda!" was particularly hard to hear (a little harder than seeing the engagement and wedding rings come off).

On a lighter note... Favorite quote of the show:
"Hey, on TV -- they don't handcuff people for their interventions." -Celia Hodes


AND NOW... scenes from next week's episode:


Mary Louise Parker should win an Emmy just for this one...




I'm going to write you up on ChowHound!

A manhole cover for your front door!?!

Check it out! You can get a doormat that looks like a manhole cover. Thanks @navit for the tip!!





...I think I'd prefer to have "Water" instead of "Sewer" but it's still just as cool.

What I'm reading...

Book recommendation: The Left Hand of Darkness - Ursula K. Le Guin

Disclaimer: Sci-Fi geeks only

Why I liked it: a journey about friendship, love, and betrayal in a crazy world where there are no men or women, only humans.

(Weird? Read it.)

Bike sharing now available in DC

I've been watching these little bike rental kiosks pop up in a few places around the city.

I'm really excited that this is finally happening in DC.
