Hippy-dippyness, and GIP!

It's ridiculously difficult to get in touch with anyone who might have red wriggler worms to sell.

Eco-quartier is closed from Friday to Sunday, inclusively.

The other number I tried (I was told "worm swap" but it's somewhere else) said they wouldn't have worms until April.

Worm Swap didn't answer their phone.

Sustainable Concordia didn't answer their phone.

Pousse-menu answered, but only after I tried three times (every 15 minutes).


So I'm off to Pousse-menu later today. I'm going to take a shower, hie myself to Best Buy for a camera, and then to Pousse-menu for worms. I hope their worms aren't as stupidly expensive as the other stuff, because I am leery of the prices listed on their website. They're selling the whole worm-kit for over $70, whereas I paid $13 for my box. Yeah.

GIP for environmental stuff!

Okay, shower.

In happier news...

I got happy mail-ness yesterday!

joane and shenlo got me a studded leather belt for my birthday, complete with big rainbow belt buckle! Yay!

God, I miss line dancing. :)

Save the world, little buddies!

I am worm-and-camera-enabled! I am absurdly pleased.

The camera, a HP R817, is currently charging at home. Well, the batteries, anyway. I'm hoping it'll be fully charged by the time I get home. Then, depending on A) how tired I am, and B) how excited I am about all the shiny new things I have, I might settle my worms into their new home. If I do, and I can get my camera to work, I shall mercilessly document every excruciating detail of the process. You have been warned.

Pousse-menu was stupidly hard to find, but it turns out I knew the street they were on (though I'd forgotten I knew it). The owner is a *flake*. More so than the twee girl at the eco-quartier who told me the worms "hang out" at the bottom of the composter. Thank goodness his partner seems to have a modicum of business sense (he wasn't there, sadly), or else I suspect they'd be bankrupt.

So I currently have 3/4 lb of worms in a big plastic jug, and several lbs of dirt/compost. I need to buy a newspaper on the way home to line the composter, and I'm in business.

w00t! Worms will soon be eating my garbage!
