Pet peeve of the week: People who text while simultaneously boarding a train aimlessly, extremely slowly, and generally clueless– thus preventing everyone on the platform from getting on behind them.

I have a friend who dropped out of a full scholarship graduate program at Georgetown. I know it sounds stupid, but he quickly realized that it was not at all what he was sold and that he already knew as much as most of his professors. It was a computational cross-subject program where the folks didn’t know enough about programming. Not enough hands-on.

Rave: The weather. Need I say more?

Rant: Interns. Blocking the Metro exit, swarming the coffee shops, and yammering away on their phones. Color me annoyed.

Late-in-the-day-but-have-to-share-revel(!): My sister just got a job at a major PR firm only a few weeks after quitting another job she hated. So happy she’s finally happy!

Your rant should be a rave. Being sore is good, that means you put in work and your muscles are trying to repair/grow.

So what are the best flowers to plant now and how long will it take them to take hold and whatnot?

Thanks! Sounds nice. My rosemary does not bloom so I may have to get some.

I can get down with that. But the only thing is half the time, well at least some of the time, these “emergency” vehicles aren’t going anywhere. I can’t begin to tell you how many times I have seen their “power” be abused. They should get fines as well.

Maybe it wasn’t his wife or maybe it was, who knows. All I know is that what he did was just plain dumb.

It really is rosemary. I’ve seen it named “Arp Rosemary Lavender” but the lavender really is referring to the small blue flowers in the winter and kind of resembles lavender. Sometimes people throw the name around and it produces a lot of confusion. It is fragrant, as certain types of lavender are, too.
