I didn't realize how boring my last post was until absolutely no one
commented on it. I'm pretty proud of that. Just some things…

I made a MySpace profile so add me if you love me. I'm completely internet over exposed.

Vegan in Black has awesome gothy vegan t-shirts! See?

Edited to add: This isn't me! It's from hillary's (vegan in black) site.

I love the old ladies at the Brooklyn Botanic Gardens, in their
extravagant sun hats and sunglasses, sneaking in their gardening gloves
and shears and snipping some flowers and herbs here and there for their
own gardens. Maybe sneak is the wrong word because they are
surprisingly indiscreet. I can’t wait to get old and get away with
everything.

I had a nice late day at the gardens, it’s not quite late enough for
migration so I set my sights on the things I usually ignore – turtles
and fishies. The occasional flower. I did see and hear a few warblers,
but hardly close enough to get any pictures. I did get a (blurry)
picture of this bunny, though!

Cardinal Flowers in the Native Flora area

Bunny guy again

Fishy in murky waters

I like this guy, he looks like he lives in a cave

This is kind of art

Sun bathing turtle

Roses (yawn)

Of course I had to end the journey by foolheartedly stepping in a nice sized (and very obvious) bog of mud (nice cankles)
 

The moment we've all been waiting for. Or rather, the moment we've all forgotten about.

First prize goes to ott, for the tofu container lanterns among other thing. Scroll down here to see all the other cool things s/he came up with including (but not limited to) an igloo.

Second prize goes to Go Garbanzo! For the tofumobile.

And third prize goes to dagda_samildanc for the tofu container picture frame. The pictures are gone now so you can’t see it but it was cool while it lasted.

Thank for playing kids!

So my publishers are really great and they are trying to get all sorts
of people to put “blurbs” on my book cover. You know like “Mollie
Katzen is going to piss herself when she sees these awesome recipes!
All other vegan cooks better back the hell up!” - Noam Chomsky. So
they come up with some names like Goldfinger and Sum 41 but I am
thinking more Bea Arthur and Corey Feldman because they are more punk.
Punk, to me, is not about spiky hair and catchy riffs, it's something
in the eyes - it's a person's “essence”. It's possible to write punk
music and wear punk clothes and also be punk of course but it isn't
always guaranteed. Bea Arthur screams punk to me. No, literally, she's
screaming at me right now. I don't think you need a visual aid but I
got conked over the head with Photoshop.

She recently wrote a piece about banning foie gras for the Star Tribune
but the article is gone because she is that much of a threat.

I'm miserably depressed but hopefully I will feel better soon and I'll tell you who won the Tofu Container Challenge and also that the book Vegan Freak is awesome.
