I love your dream of the garden. One of my favorite ideas comes from the "Sunset Western Garden Book" (by the publishers of Sunset Magazine). They will list things like "plants that have a delightful scent," "plants that bloom in the winter," "plants that attract butterflies," "plants that flourish in the bright sunlight," "plants that flourish in the shade," "plants that are good for rock gardens," "plants that are good for water gardens," and so on. There are so many wonderful landscaping ideas available. Also, I love the idea of companion planting, such as squash, corn, and beans ("the three sisters") planted together; each kind improves the growing environment for the two others, plus the corn stalks can be used as trellises for the climbing bean plants. That last idea is very "American", by the way, utilizing new world vegetables, as developed by the Indians.

hey! thank you for your gbook messages (the one you just left, & the one earlier re: communal living, which i sadly didn't reply to earlier--it's good to hear another proponent of it!). i went to a pretty conservative school, too, but even though i was in the (9-member) women's organization, somehow i didn't usually get a lot of crap (certainly never any race-based hate mail--YIKES!)--from anonymous people anyway. i did have people i knew tell me they thought my independent major (women's studies) shouldn't exist as a discipline & all that. & phew, so good to hear someone else who's frustrated w/liberals tired of being called on their own shit. i used to be a punk rock girl & some white folks used to do the whole "i understand the pain of racism because i have blue hair & i get harassed all the time!" thing. UGH!!

Honestly, I really don't watch television at all except for "Queer As Folk," which all by itself for half a year just isn't worth my $70 a month cable bill (still, I pay it...). But you've intrigued me with your "Alias" ideas, so I'm going to have to watch that show. Your ideas--HOT! Gautier or Versache models--HOT! Cast of "Momma Mia"--HOT! Czech spy (anything Czech)--HOT! Sex with Juliette Binoche--double HOT! And Hillary Swank--what else, but HOT!

i love alias tooooo. don't you think sydney should play a paris junkie and get caught and have to spend a couple episodes in french "become an assassin for us or die" school? and now that lena's escaped, that she should hide out in a ribald chocolaterie (with juliette binoche), also in france, where sydney could discover her when she escapes from "become an assassin for us or die" school?

I'm not envious of those people at all. (Besides, I can't even muster a yawn over Gwynneth Paltrow.) My uncle was a celebrity photographer (I don't mean paparazzi, but one that the stars begged to have), incredible photos of people like Audrey Hepburn, Cary Grant, Rock Hudson, Robert Stack, Sophia Loren, Ann-Margaret, etc., all of whom he was pals with. He was, really, a true artist, and much better than to just be part of that easy-money-making but shallow celebrity mill. He used to brag that not a month went by in the U.S. or Europe that didn't have a photo he took on the cover of at least one magazine. But so what? The guy was the most unhappy man I have ever known. He had tons of people who fed off him, but nobody outside his family ever truly loved him. He never married. As handsome and as talented as he was, he ended up being a mean, drunken, miserable human being who died too early.

The measures you have been writing about and illuminating us on sound like out and out Fascism to me. You know what, I've decided (oddly enough) that I don't even believe in terrorism any more. I think it's all a big ruse, like the "Jewish vermin invading our cities like rats" that was used in Germany to help get the Nazis in power. Yeah, sure, I know we had 9/11 and everything, but that took several decades to put together (and who knows who REALLY was behind it--some propped up skinny dummy with a beard and turban that is trotted out every year or so to make a speech in a language none of us understand?) and I doubt if something else like that is just around the corner. The government can demonize a certain kind of people for only just so long before sensible people begin to wonder just what's up, really. Obviously, by every move the government makes, as described by you, they don't care about PEOPLE at all. We're just pawns in their scheme of global domination--and such domination isn't to create a DEMOCRATIC government!
