Another Public Service AnnouncementAs you can probably tell, I've been doing a lot fo planting outside the Pentamerone lately - tis the season and all that. I'm going to be pretty much occupied with that for at least the next two weeks as I move plants out of the greenhouse and back to their appropriate locations and plant the annuals and I ( Read more... )

I had no idea how much crap I had in my apartment until I tried packing it up. Thank God I'm only going next door and not across town or anything. I don't think I was this much of a packrat when I was living upstate ( Read more... )

[Private to Aesopeans] [She didn't necessarily want Evan or Edwina to see it, but didn't think of that until it was too late]I don't have any nice clothes. At all. Everything I own that isn't jeans, overalls or flannel is some sort of pantsuit or pinstripe skirt or something that screams "I am a teacher with no fashion sense whatsoever!" What am I ( Read more... )

Attention Anyone Who Managed to Save A Rabbit from Being EatenI have created a temporary rabbit hutch in the spare room in my apartment, so feel free to bring any excess bunnies by. Actually, it's not so much a hutch as it is, I closed the door over and let them go. I plan to keep them here until I can find a shelter or some place to take them. ( Read more... )

Anyone know that bank that's a couple blocks from the Pen? Across from the Dry Cleaner's? Yeah, it's being held up right now. Evan and I are inside and apparently we're going to be held hostage. There are five guys with guns here and they just turned out most of the lights and have us sitting quietly in the corner while they crack the vault or ( Read more... )

Not that I mind, I mean it's a nice little pick-me-up in the middle of the day but that's really not the point and I should try to focus here.You people need hobbies. I recommend: knitting, power walking, racquet ball and (of course) gardening ( Read more... )

Public Service Announcement From Your Groundskeeper

Please avoid the stairs leading from the kitchen up to the second floor for at least a couple of hours, since Murdock has apparently spilled about a zillion marbles into the hall. In fact, it might be best to use caution on most of the second floor because the floors are all hardwood and the ( Read more... )

[Private and Attention to Noah]

Okay, so here's the deal. Bob's getting thrown out of the Pen for beating the shit out of that guy. Which, you know, I totally get it. But even though Bob wasn't the one who started the fight, nor was he the one who caused all the property damage (unless you count getting thrown through a window as being the ( Read more... )

Please watch your step in the lobby and out on the lawn as there may still be broken glass that I missed. But really, if you're walking around without shoes in this weather, you probably deserve to get glass in your foot. Also, there may still be pieces of terracotta on the stairs as a result of Samantha a petunia being murdered smashed.

Okay, I just figured I'd leave a note here because it has a chance of being noticed: I'm handling maintenance full time at the Pentamerone. That means that if something at the Pen needs to be fixed, tell me about it. Don't talk to Bob about it, he does not care. Don't talk to your Librarian about it, he or she does not care (especially if it's ( Read more... )
