christopher575Full list of May questions here.
11. When was the last time you took a photo?
Today! We went to the piercing shop and Ben added a chain connecting two of the piercings in my right ear, the image below is flipped. I usually share flipped photos of myself because I consider selfies to be like one's reflection.
That pair of piercings is called a faux snug, which I got because the anatomy of my ear doesn't support a real snug piercing. But that's fine! a faux snug is easier to heal than a real one. I suppose with the chain you don't really notice that it's a faux snug as much. Not that most people who see it would even realize it's a fake version of a single piercing.
Ben also did an incredible project connecting three piercings in Garrett's ear. I'll get a picture of it after it's settled in a bit.
12. It’s the International Day of Plant Health! Healthy plants mean a healthy planet! Have you ever planted something and watched it grow? Do you look after your houseplants or your garden plants diligently
I don't like gardening. Or really anything that requires being out in the sun for extended periods. I love houseplants, though! And our dining room is chock full of them. I especially love our wall-mounted planter but we also have some very tall plants on the buffet.
We also have a countertop hydroponic herb garden. Currently it's got two pods of basil and one of mint and they're growing so slow. Not sure if it's because I used regular seeds in empty pods this time as opposed to premade pods from the manufacturer. That herb garden has a flashing light that indicates when to add food, so it's pretty easy to be consistent. Everything else gets watered every Wednesday.
13. It’s Top Gun Day! Ever seen it (and/or the sequel)?
Yeah. Definitely not my kind of movie. And I ended up seeing the sequel twice because we watched it and then played it for Garrett's mom the last time we took a trip together.
14. Have you ever seen a ‘mockumentary’ film or TV show? The term was coined when the 1984 “This is Spinal Tap” film was released, and notable examples on TV include “The Office”.
I love a good mockumentary. One of my favorites that it seems like nobody has ever heard of is Lisa Picard is Famous, written and directed by Griffin Dunne. And I'm so glad to hear St. Denis Medical is moving to Netflix rather than being canceled.
15. Bees are responsible for pollinating many of the plants we eat (a current estimate is that they are responsible for every three bites of food we eat). Have you seen any bees this year?
Is that one of every three bites? Impressive! I saw a very big bumblebee because Tilly was chasing it around the yard. I really hope she doesn't catch one.
