RiffTrax revisited

RiffTrax, featuring Mike Nelson's wiggly head

I’ll let you know how it is.

Oh, the site now says his next is going to be The Fifth Element.

Tomatoes, water, and Scribs

We picked our first cherry tomatoes yesterday. They were like tomato candy. And they were probably just a touch underripe, even; can’t wait for the full ones. Looking at all the growing buds, I may have to upgrade my yield estimate; 17,000 seems a little under.

Also, I vanquished my water problem…the basement sink wasn’t draining, and the kitchen sink drains down the same pipe so it wasn’t either, and our washer drains into the basement sink, so basically half the house facilities were down. Bought me a $30 drain router and spent about 5 disgusting hours draining and taking apart pipes, but I got lucky. The clog was apparently somewhere I was able to reach it. Yay me, since it probably would’ve cost at least $90 for a plumber to walk in the front door. But Christ that was disgusting. Not toilet-drain-problem disgusting, but pretty disgusting.

With that taken care of, combined with the fact that the head of my current freelance project is on vacation for a week, I got some breathing room to get some Scribs done. since I’m in the middle of this clipart-themed arc, it takes a fair amount of scanning and image editing, and I haven’t had the solid time to devote to it.

Oh, and the WoW playing, that got in the way, too.
