New Scott Pilgrim trailer…you all know my love of Edgar Wright!

I walk to my bus stop very early in the morning and, so, on garbage day I get to see what everyone puts out before it is whisked away to garbage mountain. I find it kind of fascinating actually. You can learn a lot about your neighbours by what they throw out (yes, I am talking about you oh neighbour of mine with the two foot pile of pizza boxes every week…every week!).

Anyway, I have one neighbour who I have been ranting and raving about for the past year to anyone who will listen (my usual modus operandi). He puts out 6 or 7 full bags of garbage each week (!) and never a bit of recycling to be seen. None. I often can see cans, glass and cardboard in his bags of garbage and, yet, no recycling. And it makes me angry. Seriously angry. Let’s face it – it takes no time to recycle. None. There are just no more good excuses for failing to push your blue box out to your curb once a week.

So I’ve been thinking of maybe writing him an anonymous note asking if he please wouldn’t consider recycling for the good of the planet – well, this is the plan when I’m in a good mood. When I’m in a less good mood I have bandied around the idea of volunteering him as an oil boom to be used in the Gulf (he looks like he’d be incredibly absorbent). But, I think my prayers have been answered. For, as I cruised Mean Cards the other day, what did I chance across, but this inspired greeting. Clearly I am not the only one plotting against their non-green neighbour and Mean Cards has sensed our need.  So if you receive this card anonymously in the next few days – please don’t egg my house. And, if you do, for goodness sake at least recycle the egg cartons.

Anyone who knows me – knows my love of 70s television. So imagine my joy to find Confessions Of A Prairie Bitchin the list of new releases for the month of June! Oh how I used to hate that Nellie Oleson (although not as much as I hated Mary – remember Mary? Man she got annoying towards the end of that show). But, seriously,  a “tell all” with all the back scenes gossip from Little House?? Sign. Me. Up. Oh come on – you know you want a copy!!!
