Growing nice and fast, but the flower buds themselves look to be less than robust, due to GROSS NEGLIGENCE in replenishing its water supply in a timely manner. I give you a C.

Seaming is all done, with just a few loose ends to weave in. The stripes on the arms match up nicely with the stripes on the body. Nice work, with a suprising display of meticulousness. I like surprises. But wait, there is a snag smack dab front and center, due OBVIOUSLY to reckless use of the hanger while trying to set up photo shoot. Don't think I didn't notice. Because I did. It's RIGHT THERE. Hello, which is more important, getting the shot of subject or the subject itself? A little more consideration and respect next time. B+.

Thanksgiving dinner

You're giving your first Thanksgiving dinner, and instead of a turkey you decide on a "free range natural young capon." So it will be a humane and hormone-free Thanksgiving. How ecologically responsible or whatever. But what the hell is a capon?* In any case, I give you an A for preparedness.

Girl I know you haven't started. F-. It's so bad I might have to give you another. F- again!

*Capon: a castrated rooster
I'm a little behind on my bird lingo, but the weekend shopping at Whole Foods brought me to my very first encounter with a capon. KAY-pon. I was just looking for a plain ole chicken, a nice organic free-range chicken, but before me lay a vast sea of turkey, duck, goose, cornish hen, quail...and this capon.

WHERE'S the CHICKEN. I want CHICKEN.

According to the guy behind the meat counter, castrated roosters taste better than the lady hens' white meat, and are more tender and succulent. Oh REALLY? says I. Well, let me brine the bejeezus out of this mofo regardless, and then I'll get back to you. Not that I have any other option. Capon it is.

WHO would have guessed that genital mutilation had a place in the Whole Foods philosophy? I suppose I am just naive. I suppose there are worse things in the world. But like, if you were a chicken, would you rather be running all around in a field, but castrated, or caged with your nuts intact?
