aven't been posting much lately but I am gummed up with litres of intransigent phlegm and am thusly curtailed. And it's just been a really uninspiring arse-end of winter/not-quite-spring general bullshitty phase complete with bad light. In better news, I had despaired at ever raising an Aloe thraskii past that weird wimpy juvenile stage, when all along I was doing just that in the form of this Nameless Tree Aloe #3, which has favoured us with its first flower (above) and finally ID'd itself. Boring winters always nudge me into hardcore plant acquisition and this one has landed us with a plethora of South American species; mucho Salvias, two Iochromas, Streptosolen >, some new Brugs, a couple of Cantuas; much excite to see how they perform in the burgeoning pot garden out front of the house. |
Hostile Witness Review Recommendations: Binged Mindhunter- did not love this second season. It felt sloppy and laboured and exposed a few thespianic limitations (STFU, Agent Babyvoice). Also, the subplot with the freaky kid felt tacky as fuck: just saying. Season two of Succession is far more pleasing to the point of actual deliciousness, what with all that nipple-tweaking McKay DNA. Tough out the fucking drip feed and try it.
