Summer is still glorious. As it happens, I am a terrible plant caretaker and periodically forget to water my bonsai sprouts for days at a time. Two of the three have survived, surprisingly. I’d like to have a plant in college. I could name it Jefferson and we could share a mute camaraderie until I start withholding water out of spite.

I think everyone should see Howl’s Moving Castle, which I liked better than Spirited Away.
