Domestic bulletin - News from the soon-to-be-ex-dorm front:

My marshmallow plant is finally blooming!
The 3' plant / tree is finally giving v. v. pale pink flowers. Too bad they aren't edible like their namesake sweets. (What was that game called when you try to speak with a mouth stuffed full of marshmallows? Runny bunny??)




New kid on the block
Say hello to a new tenant at 488B. Faye, my bro's gf's hampster is staying with me for the week. All the fur ball does is sleep, eat and run on its treadmill. She's chunky for a hampster too. Sounds an aweful lot like me, except I don't even work out. Maybe I should have been incarnated as a furry pet. It would have been a cushy life.
