compost

Something which seems neat to me is how I can dig a hole, dump in fruit and vegetable scraps, put the dirt on top and mix it up a little with the shovel, and come back in a couple of weeks, and the scraps will have disappeared/turned into dirt. And then I can do it all over again. Even watermelon rinds disappear, although I cut them into smaller pieces first.

One can read about composting, and about using special bins, and maintaining proper ratios of this and that, and about the temperature needed and all that, but Forestfen and I have never needed to concern ourselves with all that. Maybe it has something to do with the climate here, but we can just dig holes and bury our scraps, and they disappear. I suppose it is possible bugs and worms get the scraps instead of them composting, but I haven't noticed bugs and worms, so I tend to think it is bacterial action.

I've heard good reviews of "Revolutionary Girl Utena", so I want to get the DVDs from Netflix. But I'm confused as to how many disks there are, and the order of them.

"Revolutionary Girl Utena: The Black Rose Saga: Disk 1 thru 4" is unavailable.

Revolutionary Girl Utena (10 disk series, 1997): Vol 1 thru Vol 10.
Vol 1 is unavailable, but Vol 2 and 3 are available.

"Revolutionary Girl Utena: The Movie" is available.


Since Vol 1 is unavailable, is it better to start watching with Vol 2, or to watch the movie first?

My new camera has some neat effects you can use while shooting photos. Some image-editors probably have these too, but I hadn't used them before.

I made brownies, but they don't taste as good as usual. Not sure if I got the wrong flavor, or if my appetite is lacking. :(
