who does he think he is? james bond?

there was a bug in my lettuce today. i'm experimenting with growing my own vegetables and i picked some lettuce to put in a salad, and as i was washing it, and i looked down, and there was a huge creepy bug crawling all over me! i'm not even afraid of bugs! but it was so long and skinny and it had pincers and i did something i have honestly never done before in response to a bug: i screamed.

my garden is pretty pathetic. it's not very big, and i can't see it from the house, only if i go out behind the garage, so it gets pretty neglected. however, i love it. i like growing my own lettuce and spinach, even though the spinach all died last week and the lettuce is plagued by creepy bugs, and the peas are soooo delicious, and there are teensy green leaves popping up where carrots and green onions are going to sprout someday. mostly i'm excited about the tomatoes that should be coming any day this week. we bought a grape tomato plant because those are my favorite, and there are billions of tiny green tomato babies appearing all over it. i planned two dinners i was going to make this week around the tomatoes that i'm so excited for...but i think i've been too ambitious, because they are definitely not yet for eating, and i had to go to the store to buy a sad inorganic plastic carton to use in my salad tonight. what a sad, tragic life i have.

in non-garden-related news, what is up with j tim's new video? when i heard the song i was like, hmm, doesn't sound like justin to me, i don't love it, but it sounds like it would be soooo hot at the club. it's got "dance beat" written all over it. but there's no dancing in the video! who does he think he is? james bond? and i don't even understand what's going on anyway.
