hmm. puzzling over potting soil questions, what i should use to re-pot my pothos (aka marble queen, aka scindapsus) and the new one, a cute little philodendron. my houseplant book says to add peat and sharp sand to regular potting soil. i wanted to transplant them today, but i'm now feeling cautious, wondering whether i should add all this stuff to the soil i have, which is worm castings, 2-2-2. what does that mean???

time to do some research...

here's a site with re-potting tips i found useful (alas, no soil advice though...gotta look into it more):

other than that, life is good. i'm in a slightly manic phase today, buzzing around my apartment doing various shit, writing here and there, reading this and that. worrying about some stuff (money, the perpetual woe of the graduate student), feeling good about other stuff (the boy, {g}).

talked to my sister earlier. turns out she has promised her kids (they are: 16--niece; and almost 15--nephew) to send them out to visit me if they get good grades in school this year. niece would come during her spring break, nephew for a week in the summer. i'm seriously excited about this, and i will never forgive my sister if the kids get bad grades and she doesn't let them come see me anyway! lol--i'm a softie though, i guess. also got to talk to them. my niece was somewhat unconversant, but my nephew talked to me for a bit. he's a cool kid. i'm going to burn him a copy of the gits cd (frenching the bully)--he and i have very similar taste in music, which is hilarious. my niece and i, however, do not see eye to eye when it comes to music--the kid likes mainstream country (gag!). but she's still cool, lol. she's the coxswain on her school's crew team, a true badass. i miss them a lot--and my other sister's kids too (they are younger, i want to say 7 and 10 going on 8 and 11). i'll have to talk to that sister about sending me her kids sometime. one at a time, though, please!

that's it for today.
