I have acquired a sparkling purple and silver water-filled hula hoop. I am hoping that hula hooping will keep me young and ward off any more white hairs (current count: 4) for at least the next 5 years. So far my record is 7 minutes and 52 seconds, while watching a segment of the Colbert Report.

This is what I have noticed so far: I can only really hula hoop counter-clockwise. Going clockwise is nearly impossible. I am wondering if this has something to do with handed-(footed-? hip-ed?)ness.

It rained this entire weekend. Yesterday I went to Gethsemane Gardens with McComas and Xixi and got five new succulents. Pictures coming soon. One of them is furry, but in a less velvety way than the one I managed to kill over the summer in Providence. I don’t think I will buy any more for awhile. I already had to move three plants to the kitchen.

Today I went to the Garfield Park Conservatory with Laura. I felt like I was in the middle of a jungle. I took this video on the way there.
