Failure to communicate

Sycorax Pine:  "Why are you so uncaring?"
D:  "I'm totally caring.  It's just that your problem's not that big of a deal."


Ladies and gentlemen: my relationship.

Just to be clear, my problem was a total lack of chocolate in the house.  I put it to you: what kind of a mind doesn't think that's a big deal?

The Living Ring

Oh, how I covet this.
Chia ring!

Why?  Why do I want it?  It promises to be nothing but heartbreak, given my Darwinian attitude to both plants and jewelry.  But something about it just cries out boho-Galadriel charm to me.

Even if I would have to spend the whole day obsessively extending my hand (see picture) while fending off potential ring-harmers with vicious stares.  (Not Galadrielesque, you say?  Did you see her thinking about taking the ring of power?)

If only I didn't have a mortgage, this is exactly the sort of investment I would make.  So it's lucky that I've sunk my worldly wealth into property, because I'm not sure a portfolio of living jewelry's going to support my retirement plans.
