The green roof has approximately eight inches of soil and absorbs rainwater runoff. (via Peek Inside 8 Of The World’s Greenest Homes )
I love rooftop gardens!
Yesterday was the anniversary of my dad’s death. I can’t believe it’s been four years. It still feels so recent, yet I find myself struggling to remember the sound of his voice, or to immediately recall the details of his face. I think about him every minute of the day and I doubt that will ever change. I guess this is what it is to really, truly, hopelessly miss someone.

Waitomo Glowworm Caves are a famous tourist attraction because of the large population of fireflies that live in caves. Fireflies, or Arachnocampa luminosa - tiny bioluminescent creatures that produce blue and green light live exclusively in New Zealand.

Oh fuck
Okay, I’ve been here and it sure as heck doesn’t look this cool. Don’t get me wrong, for the sheer number of glow worms present it’s definitely rad, but it doesn’t glow fluorescent blue/green. In fact, vast tracts are just black nothingness where you can’t even see your own hands, let alone the cave walls, since any lights make the worms (worms, not fireflies) quit glowing. Sneaky photoshoppers.
This was a pretty good time waster. At least I got on the right continent every time!
I reeeeally want to get a massage this week because my shoulders are crazy tense from weeks spent hunched over desks but:
a) I’m poor because I impulsively spent loads of money on bikinis for reasons I can’t understand and
b) I’m so incredibly tired that I’ll fall asleep and I don’t want my massage therapist to have to try wake me up and deal with my sleepy wrath.
If there was ever a first world problem, this is it.
I got 27 out of 37. Harder than I thought it would be!
