Art Crawl!!!

PixKristin - Chili was what I was thinking too. I'm going to have to wait to catch the next bus though. I'm picturing a late afternoon and evening of cookies in the oven, chili on the stove and a Librarian movie on the tube. (They're repeating the first two before they show the new one.)

Quick! Go say good bye to the puppies. Cuteoverload heard it from a dude, who heard it from another dude that three are going home today...the rest to follow shortly.

Sigh.

I really enjoyed them.

But wait, there's more. Another shiba inu puppy cam is up.

I think I'm going to have to agree with Delisted on this one...better not to get involved and end up missing even more puppies.

I'll just have to accept the SF Shiba Inu 6 as a perfect moment in time.

NPR told me this morning that the breeders are keeping one of the puppies (and so the camera will continue). Of course, it's not the same as having six puppies wild rumpus-ing for my entertainment.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Ack. Please lock your doors, y'all. I got mugged and almost raped when I left my door unlocked to go get a 2nd load of groceries out of my car -- the guy walked into my apartment and was waiting for me.

I am kinda of a freak about door locking now. Although I am happy I know how I would react in a violent situation.

Tip: never pull a knife on anyone as a threat. Just grab it and keep it close, and then just stick it in 'em. And run like hell.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Damn, Erin. That's really scary. And reinforces my policy of shutting a propped-open front door to my building if there's no one standing there.

So, I accidently find myself serving as Santa for a Disadvantaged Child (I asked for more info about the expectations, and got a kid's wish list). The list was "bettyboo pocketbook, scotter, hand bracelets." I assume she wants a Betty Boop pocketbook, which I can't find in a store, a scooter, and bracelets, right? So I just got a scooter (off-brand, so $25 instead of $35, and it was the last one on the shelf, because I guess that's how we roll in Queens -- there were stacks of Razor scooters), and some stretchy beaded bracelets. That'll do, right? I am paranoid about not doing enough or something. There is a Betty Boop purse on Amazon, which I might have time to get, so what do you all think?

Sounds about right, Jesse. Although I am surprised youngsters would know about Betty Boop.

Did she make a comeback?

Yeah, I don't know. The kid's 9, so I figured if she wanted it, they'd have it at target, but everything was High School Musical and Hannah Montana, with a touch of Hello Kitty. I figure a kid who's into Betty Boop would be Not Into those other things.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I think you can skip the pocketbook. A scooter is a kickass gift and the bracelets are gravy.

OK, that's what I thought, thanks. I think I'm usually cheap on presents for people I know, but it's because I'm no one's primary gift giver, if that makes sense. I started feeling bad about this little girl only getting this stuff from me!

Of course, I also started stressing out about whether I should also get a helmet....

This is why I'm not a good gift-giver!

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Hey, question for those who know more about these things than I do: Hilary Duff's new song, Reach Out, the one with the "Oh, just in case I neglected to mention it before: boobies!" video clip, is she ripping off Depeche Mode's Personal Jesus?
