No More Lost

I just realized that there won't be any episode of Lost tomorrow. I just forgot that last week was the season finale. Oh well, there's nothing left to watch on t.v. until fall. Survivor just ended, so Thursdays are open.... what else is there anyways? I don't watch Heroes because I don't want to get hooked on another show like I did Lost.... oh I guess there's always Big Brother.... or I could take up reading.... hmmm.... too lazy.

Have you ever thought about having your own domain name for your blog or website?

Lotus Project Update

I received some more lotus seeds from Thailand last week. I decided to start another batch of seeds and test how they grow under slightly different growing conditions. Now that it is fall, they cannot go outside for sunlight, so I will set up a heated aquarium in a southern exposure. They will be able to receive direct sunlight during the day, but since the days are getting shorter, I will supplement their light with a 13W fluorescent light bulb. I will give them 6-7 hours of artificial light on top of the sunlight they will receive during the day.

I scarified all the seeds by opening up the blunt or dimpled end. There are four groups of seeds. The first group consists of 3 seeds from the same batch of seeds used in the previous "lotus projects".A second group consists of 4 seeds of Red lotus.
A third group consists of 3 seeds of Pink lotus (the third seed was added to the group one day later, and so is not pictured).And a fourth group consists of 3 seeds of White lotus (the third seed was added to the group one day later, and so is not pictured). The seeds were placed in 500ml water bottles with the tops cut off. These were floated in the heated aquarium and maintained at a temperature of 26-28C. Some of the seeds will serve as controls. They will be grown under the same conditions of the original "lotus projects", without exposure to sunlight.

Rustic Furniture

What do you think of when you hear the term rustic furniture? Hmm, I think of wood, and I think "homey" and comfortable, with images of big bulky furniture. Well, whatever your idea of rustic furniture, check out www.scenicfurniture.com. They certainly have opened my eyes to the possibilities of what "rustic furniture" could be.

Arrghh!

Holy crap Lost's season finale was awesome tonight! I was kind of a bit disappointed with Season 5, sort of.... parts of it seemed slow, but the plot is definitely starting to wind down. Or is it wind up? Anyway, it's starting to explain things. But man tonight's episode was another one of those classic cliffhangers we all love Lost for. Now is Season 6 going to be the final season, or is there going to be a Season 7? It seems like they're starting to explain things getting ready for an ending.... oh well, will have to wait another summer til the continuation.
