living, playing, and dying daisies
1.19.2004
Been rather busy...
My gerbera daisy died. It had had a disease called powdery mildew for weeks if not months. It really looked like it was doing OK, it just had some fuzzy white stuff on it, kind of like bread mold. Everything I read said to spray the plant with a fungicide. So I did. “Spray every surface of the plant.” That's what I did. Within four days all the leaves wilted and the plant croaked. I killed my plant. I should have just left the mildew alone.
Found a new place to live. In less than a month I will finally have my own washer and dryer, dishwasher, frost-free refrigerator, and be able to walk into my bathroom in the middle of the night without apprehension of hearing the next-door neighbors getting it on like wildcats in heat. Gotta be grateful for that.
I just got Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic for PC. I was surprised and disappointed that KOTOR for PC doesn't support a game controller, especially since it's a console port. I think they did a good job with the keyboard/mouse interface, but it's still way more comfortable to game with a controller, in my opinion.
I'm feeling scatterbrained. Perhaps in a week or so I'll have something more pithy or profound to say.
