Also, I'm going to love Hulu for ever and ever - they just added full episodes of "The Colbert Report" and "The Daily Show" to their site. :-D (I know they're on the Comedy Central site but I really hated their format.)

Show us the loveliest flower in your garden.

This is one of the rhododendrons in our front yard. It's always a guessing game as to whether or not our rhodies are going to bloom each year since we don't take care of them. Our whole street looks nice right now as all the houses combined have almost every color rhodie imaginable: red, pink (various shades), purple (dark, medium, and light), white, and gold (bright orangish-yellow).

Edited to add: This is what that rhododendron plant looked like 1 month and 10 days ago:

Gotta love that Seattle weather.

Also, I left for school for 8 hours, came back and my Vox theme with the chicks was gone. :-( What happened? It was cute.

Show us what you're working on right now.

Current Project 01

The infamous unit plan. And why is it that every time I have to work on one of these 10 page monstrosities, the weather all of a sudden gets really warm and sunny? It happened right about this time two years ago when I wrote my first one and it's doing it again ~~now~~ starting tomorrow. Although (hopefully) this time I won't be forced to strip down to boxers and a tank top to try and stay cool or deal with my computer continually overheating.

In honor of Earth Day, show us something (literally or figuratively) green.

This is the stem of one of our daffodils that's failed to bloom the past couple years in the snow that we had last Friday.

What? It's (partially) green. :-)

Happy St. Patrick's Day! I'm wearing my one green (school-appropriate) dress shirt. I hope you all have a great St. Patty's Day, drink lots of stuff (green beer or otherwise), and don't get pinched.

Vox Hunt: I Saw the Sign

nobody@vox.com(iRead) — Fri, 14 Mar 2008 09:06:11 -0700

Show us a sign.

Traffic

I wish I could say I took this picture but I did see a similar sign the last time I was in England. I think they need to have these in the US.

On a semi-related note: are the damn Culture, Entertainment, Music, etc. QotD's ever going to change again? 'Cause it's been the current ones for almost a week now.
