My Garlic Plant!

Image
I have a need for green things in my apartment. So, i find seeds around the kitchen and put them in dirt! Here are two pics of days 2 and 4 of my garlic plant experiment. i took a little clove of garlic and well.. look! 2 Days: 4 Days: that's made me a little happier about my apartment. on other news... i may have to move. student loans started a few months ago and it's killing my budget. I've gotten rid of just about everything else, but it's not enough. so i may end up moving to queens because i value my privacy - aka living in my own apartment. sharing is a good way to keep the costs down, but there are certain things i like to do on my own and a way i like to feel comfortable. i still don't like sharing bathrooms... maybe it's a complex :P plus if i want to bake at 2:30am i'd like the choice. perhaps i'll go to queens. the hardest part is trying to figure out what to do in the meantime. to get back my security, i'll have to stay until m...

Last year was supposed to be the last year for Astroland Park. They are renovating Coney Island and wanted to tear this down. Not so! When I got off the train, the Cyclone was whirring, the Wonder Wheel was turning, and the smell of food drifted my way. Guess we're on for another year! One of the main reasons I wanted to come back to Coney Island was to touch another piece of history. The Parachute Ride, brought to the then Steeplechase Amusement park after ...

Cloverfield and a slight obsession (SPOILERS)

okay... so i went with my sister to watch cloverfield (about two weeks ago). i liked it... but had NO idea the type of advertising went into it. So, when realizing there was something in the end scene that i missed, i went to google to look for scenes posted somewhere. Apparently, there was such secrecy into releasing the movie in the first place, people have been keeping track online. One site was particularly helpful when it came to explaining everything (without spoilers). Cloverfield Clues I seriously stayed up 2 hours to read all that was tied into the movie. Forums, myspace pages for each character, the companies that were fake and some real that were all in on the "game", and the overlying story that explained bits and pieces of the monster and how it all came to be. The initial reading was eye opening and i felt a little sad that i wasn't able to participate in the "clues." My interest waned and i only checked the site a few times a week (instead o...
