Every garden should have a log or two, it says. And landscape fabric is, to paraphrase liberally, the ecological spawn of the Devil.

‪When someone asks if you know about —insert person or topic— and you answer, “I don’t think so.” But then they tell you and you do know but now you’re convinced they think you’re lying so you set out to show you knew and how well you knew it when probably they didn’t think anything of the sort but here you are 10,000 words later

And the winner of the Jury Selection Most Cringeworthy Statement award, the "That Didn't Come Out Right" award, and the "Let Me Start Over" award goes to this guy: "I'm not a big fan of child molestation or rape, but..."

‘’But if the trance theory is true, it shows that the evolutionary tendency to be tribal rests on an evolutionary taste for that which surpasses tribal experience – the transcendence that humans glimpsed in altered states of mind that enabled them to form tribes to start with.”

The biology exam that snuck up on me and I didn’t really study for went mm, okay, but I got the process of fermentation exactly backwards on my essay question. Ack! Five questions I might as well have answered blindfolded and probably a few more that seemed logical but *oops* not really! I might be able to pull off a “B”. Worst case scenario, “C”, and that’s not... wait, who am I kidding? 😭

But I had a super relaxing and wonderful weekend up to, oh, about 22:00 Monday, night before the exam.

Stuff from my pockets after yesterday’s short walk:

Lichen, from a twig fallen onto the road.

Douglas-fir tip, with needle damage. Will investigate.

Rusty-colored mushroom, from a large patch alongside the road.

Large mushroom being parasitized by another fungus. Some moss was pulled up along with the mushroom.

Oh, do I have a biology exam tomorrow? Yes? Ummmmm.... fuck?

I’m inventing a foolproof SYSTEM of organization with which I will finally be FUNCTIONAL. This is EFFORTLESS, getting everything done and on time and neatly recording what gets done and what needs to be done goes on LISTS and STICKY NOTES and I have my entire life laid out...

> We’ve done this before.

This time is different.

> Different how?

Just let me make the goddamn list.

> Sure. Put it on top of the pile on my desk.

Which pile?

> Exactly.
