I've been collecting plants the past few months. I don't get a lot of light in here so I have been trying to find ones that only need partial light to survive. I started with two bamboo bundles from Shoprite and went on to buy an aloe plant and a spathiphyllum (which is doing a lot better after a couple iffy weeks after I transferred it to a larger pot.) Just last week I purchased a dendrobium and a phalaenopsis orchid. These are right in the window and get most of the light that comes into that room, but I think I will have to invest in a decent growlight that I can leave on when I'm not here for the rest. This on top of my newfound interest in cooking, makes me fear I'm really turning into quite the faggy fag fag fag.
I read Porno a few weeks ago, which is Irvine Welsh's sequel to both Trainspotting and Glue. I loved that he decided to revisit his characters 10 years down the line. If you can accustom yourself to deciphering the scottish dialect written phonetically, particularly Spud and Begbie's, it is a great read. Each chapter is written in the first person by different characters in the story exactly like in Trainspotting. I did pick up Glue as well, but I haven't had a chance to read it.
Also on deck, I have a stack of Chuck Palahniuk books my friend lent to me, Band of Brothers by Ambrose, Kingdom of Fear by HST, and Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. I've never read Hitchhiker's and I figure I should if I ever decide to see the movie. Tim from BBC's The Office is in it, which is awesome.
