Monkey Monday: short attention span edition 2 April 2007 10:28 pm
Posted by Tracy in : Morning Glory,agriculture,books,garden,monkeys,sustainability,work , trackbackOof. I am maybe still a little tired after the big spring break ride to and from Corvallis and the gardening and then the working three days in a row. We had a super-busy Saturday at Morning Glory; Sunday (yesterday) was surprisingly mellow, and today was even more chill, which was good because as previously mentioned there’s me and there’s tired and the two are pretty synonymous at the moment. BUT!
Food Books!
I just finished The Perfectly Contented Meat-Eater’s Guide to Vegetarianism by Warren Reinhardt (subtitle: A book for those who really don’t want to be hassled about their diet). In one sitting, or more accurately, in one session of wandering around the house and eventually into the bathtub. For now I will limit my review to the observation that it was fun and easy to read, which is very different from the vaguely headache-inducing Living Among Meat Eaters by Carol J. Adams. My “to-read” pile currently also includes my friendly local public library’s copy of The Way We Eat by Peter Singer but I haven’t started that one yet as it frankly scares the hell out of me.
School!
Tomorrow afternoon I show up for the first day of Urban Farm at the UO and hope the prof is willing to let me in. My other possible class for this term is a Wednesday afternoon Planning, Public Policy, and Management seminar called Green Cities, which intrigues me because if I got one thing out of my sustainable agriculture class last term it is that urban farming is hot. Fingers crossed that I can weasel my way into one of those two.
Garden
I am happy to note that the weather will be warming up throughout the week, which only increases my determination to love my garden right, if only to keep up with the good work done at Allison’s place last week. And now I must sleep, if I can escape from under this purring cat.
