- Arlington and Somerville both have active and venerable garden clubs. Somerville, like Cambridge, has many wonderful examples of urban gardens. September in New England is awesome because the fruits of the season -- both the edible and non-edible styles -- are still resplendent and the days mild enough to enjoy them. September coasts on a gentle incline before autumn's gaudy last gasps.
- A new acronym I've been hearing a lot about: API. Like many acronyms, I have a notion of what it's about, but like AJAX I haven't worked with any directly. Here on teh Intarwebs, I feel safer admitting ignorance. Anyone worked with an API? Willing to share thoughts/experiences about same? You can pwn the n00b if you like ::offers ass in baboon-like submission::

viciouswishes is my new favorite flister. Wow, that sounds dirty :) I wouldn't go so far as to call us Intarweb friends (like jenunderscore_), since we haven't had any private conversations or declared undying affection for one another, but I like what I've read of her blog and admire and am challenged by her online frankness. It's rare to find someone who is more frank than I. Of course, I was cowed by the feedback I got during my annual review regarding my communication style. It's one thing to know that I can rub people the wrong way sometimes with my outspokenness. It's another to know that my ability to bring in the bank is contingent upon same. Oh well. Turn that one over to the Goddess. I found her via International Blog Against Racism Week; nex0s linked to one of her postings, and I found nex0s via la_directora, a friend I know from real life. Teh intarwebs are alive and well, connecting people tangentially for over ten years. Yayyyyy! - viciouswishes has a roundup of her cross-fandom favorite men and women here. I liked what she had to say about "The Accidental Hero:"
They might seem like bad boys, but they're just to weird/smart/emotionally damaged/loyal to be so. Jayne [Cobb, Firefly] has his hat that his mom knitted. Deadpool [X-Men] is crazy. Sheppard [Stargate Atlantis] likes ferris wheels. Ryan [Oz] is a horrible, yet wonderful, big brother. They also end up doing shit that makes them survive life when you think they should be dead/in jail/living on the streets and saves others. - I watched the first DVD of Stella last night, and the extra about the history of the show was very educational. I'm a fan of this quirky, bizarre, ironic, satirical sort of humor. The fact that the three creators met at NYU and created the act organically during an eight-year stint at Fez in New York City (I was guessing Brooklyn, but a Google search indicates it was on the Upper West Side) does not surprise me. It makes me homesick for the tri-state area. I know that one of the reasons I liked the Daily Show was because it was informed by the gritty, real quality of NYC. For various reasons, I've been feeling more and more of a pull toward New York. I'm not sure if I'd ever be able to sustainably live there, but my visits always make the fantasy seem workable. If Hartford was "practice" for living in Boston, perhaps Boston is "practice" for living in NYC. I don't know. I'm very comfortable in my one-town-over suburban hideaway right now. But I also know the Universe has a way of carrot-and-sticking me out of my comfort zone when it decides it's time. Right now, I'll keep concentrating on my eight-year-plan of paying down debt and building up a nest egg.
