Sweet Roses

We had a large group of lawyers take over the conference center last week, remember? Well, aparently they had roses at the final banquet they had this weekend. Beautiful apricot-orangey blossoms that developed dark red tips. A hybrid of between old fashioned and something else vaguely tea rose shaped petals. I couldn't really find a reference for it on the internet.

They had grapevines curled up in fishbowls with the stems twining out, was very gorgeous... they were simply letting the leftover blossoms get ruined by the water over the weekend. So I grabbed about three yesterday to take home and have a bunch of seven on my desk in a makeshift vase i.e. one plastic cup with the base of another punctured and cut in half to nest upside down. It holds the blossoms up without them falling over. A nice effect since the cup is clear. Very sweet and heady scent. I'll probably leave these here for color.

Anyway, updates in the News Blog and Book Blog. Entertainment Blog has a couple entries qued up for this week or the next.

I'm going to be here at work a lot, but also trying to finish up this work related project so I can make better forum graphics than what are currently in place. Then, I get to be creative again. New reel. Because I don't think we'll be able to move out of the apartment we are in currently. I guess I should hang some crap up on the walls so it doens't look as depressing. And a little more furniture. I don't know how long it will take to get a couch though. Maybe when I get next years tax return.

I like this little guy.
