it's honeybee time
over the course of the weekend i did many things, most of them today. the result is a clean house (as clean as it ever gets, anyway), and an ever more hospitable screen porch, and two reasonably respectable looking cars (from the outside, anyway).
i put up some little twee lights on the back porch, the kind of lights that are sort of inherently janky (a word that keeps repeating in my mind like a bad song) but i've installed them in a non-janky way so hopefully the jankiness and non-jankiness will cancel each other out.
this evening i watched who killed the electric car? (my personal favorite moment is the guy with the hummer who says the problem with the EV-1 is that no one is going to want a car that you can't pimp out and show off), and now i'm watching my Ultimate Nightmare Battle on Iron Chef America: Battle Chicken Egg. NYAAAGH!
i also decided to try margarine as a replacement for butter on toast and stuff. the result, because i have lame supermarket bread, is similar to moist paper. sigh. there really is no substitute for butter.

Have you tried Brummel & Brown? It's a spread that contains yogurt. We both like it pretty well.

I have never heard the word "janky" before. I think it's janky.

"janky" implies a certain tangible (and perhaps sticky) negativity to me, and from the photos your porch lights appear quite lovely.

why, thank you. actually, they look pretty nice, but i think the way i hung them has something to do with that.
anyway, i mean janky as in crappy-- see example #1 here:
