R. I. P. my green thumb.

The rosemary died. Jerry offered to bring me a few cuttings of rosemary and other plants from his home garden, in which case I will simply swoon with joy.

Over the summer I began to make ringtones for folks in my phone book who call me often, and I continued this project yesterday.

• J. Savagery--Elton John "The Bitch is Back." I won't explain this, because it isn't necessary.

• C. Frye--The Trashmen "Surfin' Bird."
  

• A. Stew.--The Beatles "Why Don't We Do It In the Road?" Because, why don't we do it in the pool?

• Brittany--M.I.A. "Boyz." One of Britters' favorite musical artists, and our favorite topic of conversation.

• My mother--The Beatles "Your Mother Should Know."

• Michael Dale Munday--"Pokemon Theme."

New ringtones:

• Kate--Pixies "Where Is My Mind?" I thought I would be clever if I used the ringtone she uses for ALL of us (she loves the song so much) for her ringtone on my phone. It was either Pixies or Pearl Jam "Even Flow," which is her ringback tone and the no. 2 reason why I call Kate.

• Mallandizzle--Katy Perry "I Kissed a Girl." Partly because I have a secret hope she'll call me sometime when her boyfriend's around (and gosh wouldn't that be funny) and partly because it's true, and partly also because it's the only song Jayme and I have ever discussed.

• Rich--Dragonforce "Through the Fire and the Flames." And, the least sensical of them all,

• David Loner--Notorious B.I.G. "Big Poppa."
