the weather is starting to get nice here in houston, so i spent the last couple of weekends working on our patio. i planted herbs and strawberries and got a new palm tree (named mo) and a hibiscus. the herbs have started to poke through in the last week or so and now they're growing really quickly! i'm excited for them to get big enough for me to actually use. i'm going to take more pics this weekend of the strawberries and herbs. they've grown quite a bit in a week. i have a couple of panoramas but my stitching program was having issues so some of the lines aren't quite right. also, not shown is a small grill, which i use frequently, and a small table. oh, and a windchime with a hummingbird on it, a tribute to my awesome grandma.



strawberries!


herbs! this is thyme! when they get bigger, they'll come out of their tiny pots and go into a long rectangular pot, at which point i can replant the tiny pots with more seeds. fun!

in our living room over our couch we have a picture wall with a dozen 8x10 pictures. previously, they had been all in color, but we decided to get a new set of different pictures printed in black and white. they look so much better! the color ones were nice but all of them in black and white makes them seem more like a set. below are the ones hanging on my wall, as well as two in a double frame on another wall in the living room.

em bought me a new desk! she put it together for me so it was all set when i came home from lpsc! it's so fancy!







eventually i'll get a new lamp or two, and the floor lamp will be moved elsewhere.

today, three days shy of one month since hurricane ike hit, they started cleaning up the branches and other debris that block half of my street. which means we'll soon get to use both lanes! excitement.

i've been busy lately. moved to houston with emily. it's going well. apartment is slowly getting unpacked. pictures of the bathroom and kitchen. we got nice furniture from christi and johnny, such as the fabulous futon below.

there are several pictures, so here's a cut )

i've been going to rice and getting things going for the last week or so. my advisor is awesome and private school is so much better than anywhere else i've been. i'll be taking trace elements/isotope geochemistry and global tectonics, along with some research credits, when school starts.

i am working on an abstract because i'm going to present my thesis research at lpi's workshop on water in planetary basalts in november. exciting. abstract is due tuesday. it's difficult picking and choosing what to take out of an 80-page thesis to put into a 2-page extended abstract. yay condensing!

emily, christi, and johnny are all getting scuba certified over labor day, which means i get to get wet, too. i'm so excited. i haven't been diving since cozumel in may 2005. waaaay too long. i've been doing a lot of website work for my old dive instructor, ek, which has been nice, since i've had the time to put into it that i want to so it all looks decent.

i'm getting together with my college roommate, lisa, this weekend. turns out she lives all of 15 minutes away. it'll be nice to be able to see her more often.

that's pretty much everything, i think. things are going well. very much looking forward to school starting.
