Identity Crisis

Today I ordered an herb/gardening catalogue online...I am worried that this may mean I am slipping more into my future "Ag-campus self" and that it will eventually pop my suburban wanna-be city girl outer bubble. I move back to Columbus in 10 days and I can honestly say that on the list of top five things I am most excited about, the Farmer's Market on Thursday's at the Wexner Center makes it on there.

List:

1. Friends
2. Exploring Columbus via the joys of having my car
3. Apartment (once I find a bed which I am currently not having any luck with. I'll be on an air mattress spilling my tea everywhere before bed as I slosh around on it trying to find an acceptable position).
4. School, classes, learning, etc.
5. Sunday morning meditations at Yoga on High
6. Wexner Center films
7. Seeing my daddy more :)
8. Farmer's Market

Okay that was eight, and in no particular order.

Anyway, like I was saying, I want to grow herbs in the spring for herbal tea which gives me plenty of time to read up on that stuff..that stuff that you do with dirt? And water? Oh god, I always kill plants. Side note, did you know you can grow potatos in buckets on your porch?

My roomate is going to kill me this Spring...

Flea Market Madness

My friend and I drove 40 minutes today to explore the joys of a flea market. It was...an experience; one that I would encourage everyone to have, but you must enter with an open mind.

We weren't there 1o minutes without one vendor mentioning that, "we weren't from around there were we", a monkey on a leash (this made me upset), as well as various stands advertising "boiled peanuts" (whatever those are) and funnel cakes. 50% of the vendors were creepy, and 50% were lovely.

I cautiously ventured into a booth with a women selling all of her mother's antique jewelry for only 3$ a piece! Naturally, I lost it, and fell victim to the low prices. I came away with 3 rings and a pair of earrings; now if that isn't recycling I don't know what is, and it's much cuter than hauling all my bottles to the recycling center :) My friend came away with 2 rings, and oodles of local produce and peach cider that we deemed acceptable.

Success.

Un

Deux

Trois

Oh the joys of what a full night at Godiva does to my face and mental health.

The pictures do no justice to the rings...the little turquoise one is a dove, the middle a silver diamond shaped cheese grater of sorts, and the first has all of these decorative speckles of golds and primary colors!

In other news..I hear an owl hooting...very cool. Now I will stop rambling.

Asleep On a Train

I know this isn't particularly "green-related" but that is clearly posing difficult for me, at least while I am still in Knoxville. Recently, I've been riding my bike a lot to Mum, an Icelandic band that I love because it has a certain quality that makes me feel like I'm floating. Here is a video of a song made by some talented girl on Youtube. I'm posting it solely because I did this in my kitchen this morning before transitioning into the ever popular dance sequence from Bande a parte by Jean-Luc Godard while making my tea. Might I also mention that this was before viewing said video which I'm pretty sure just makes me a lonely weirdo...enjoy.

ALSO:

August 29th at 9pm, Animal Planet is playing "The Cove", an academy award winning documentary. Watch, watch! Here is the description I've taken from Netflix:

Daring animal activists arrive with surveillance equipment at a scenic cove in Taijii, Japan, to capture footage of a secretive and heavily guarded operation run by the world's largest supplier of dolphins. As the group sets out to expose the horrifying truths behind the capture of dolphins for the lucrative tourist industry, they also uncover an environmental catastrophe. Louie Psihoyos directs this riveting, Oscar-winning documentary.

Long Time, No Post

I've taken a considerable hiatus from my first blog attempt (6 months to be exact...yikes! ). From now on I will be posting any and all "green" related topics floating around my brain--be it clothing, activities, food, products I'm buying (or lusting after), and tips for a successful low-impact and healthy life! Hopefully this blog will serve as a tool/information source for readers as well as a self-motivator for me!

Ciao for now,
