In the likely event that you are not reading my typepad blog, I note that I have posted more about composting over here and that I eagerly solicit all advice.

The pointless forest has moved, like Birnam Wood up Dunsinane Hill, to Typepad. I've done this mainly because I'd like people to be able to comment without having to have a Vox account (though most likely everyone who is interested in doing so has...

In less than a week, Team Snarkfox will be in glorious London, England, with all that entails (acute childhood nostalgia, oddly flavored crisps, gawking at things in Liberty, visits to cousins, buckets of tea, the Tate Modern, hemorrhaging money)....

In which I talk a lot about rot.

In a shocking deviation from normal practice, I got something done around the house. Yesterday I put together something called a back porch compost tumbler, which is a sort of drum on wheels that you can dump your scraps into and whirl around, the...

I decided to make things a little more foresty, to go with the pointless forest of it all. I was going to draw a picture of the house belonging to a particular pine cone spirit (retired) that I make up stories about. It didn't come off, though, so...

Some bean salad is mushy*, weird, bland, and yucky, but not the bean salad we will be eating for dinner tonight**. It consists of: Vallarta beans (small, dense, rich) Chopped broccolini (steamed) Chopped butter lettuce Red onion Toasted pine nuts...

When I was five, I liked to put talcum powder on my hands before I went to bed (why, I have no idea). I also liked to get myself a glass of water. The trouble was that if I put the powder on first, I'd get it wet when I filled my water glass. If I...

"I still want a bronze cast of your nose." "Mm." "I've wanted one for YEARS now." "I know." "You would think someone would have believed me and made it happen. All I want is your nose, in a form I can carry in my pocket! Is that so strange?" ...

Today I went to the mall in an attempt to purchase a pair of linen trousers that did not make me look frumpy and saggy-bottomed. I did not succeed, but I did have the magnificent experience of being at the mall on the afternoon before prom. It to...
