Wash: Well, I wash my hands of it. It's a hopeless case. I'll read a nice poem at the funeral. Something with imagery. Zoe: You could lock the door and keep the power-hungry maniac at bay. Wash: Oh, no, I'm starting to like this poetry idea now. Here lies my beloved Zoe, my autumn flower, somewhat less attractive now she's all corpsified and gross...

Art Crawl!!!

I discovered that The WB has some stuff On Demand including Jack & Bobby. The first three episodes are up: I watched the first one and cried all the way through it. I think I may wait a bit before watching (rewatching) the next two.

“Not dead yet!”

We had a black lab as a kid, and my parents had read/decided that a good way to train her (aka stop the destruction) was to tie whatever she destroyed around her neck (it was the early 70s--don't ask).

I won't ask. I'll just envision and snicker quietly. Thing is, my chocolate Lab was neither a digger nor chewer at all. And while we had an interesting nine or so months with Jasmine and breaking her of the chewing habit (let's just say most of my Oriental rugs are missing fringe), she's more or less quit with the chewing. The digging's been more hit or miss and I think what happened with the sprinkler was that she dug, found it, and went "TREASURE? FOR ME?"

She's a Lab.

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

We have been to karate and returned. The I had a substantially long call with time warner support to get a tech out to check my modem and connections. While on the phone I:

Washed a sink of dishes
Filled the dishwasher
Put away dried dishes(from earlier this week)
Took out the trash and recyclying
Cleaned off the kitchen table and counters
Filled out my dept of transportation travel diary
And emptied my travel bag from today

Mac watched tv - there may be a mini lecture today about helping out around the house. Maybe. Maybe I'll just drink this beer and get a few dozen more chores done though.

On tap:

Laundy, litter boxes, hanging up clothes, vacuuming, christmas cards (I did get 6 n the mail today woo!)

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Curse of the fish that time forgot: Believed to be extinct for 65million years - it returned with chilling consequences

Wow, I didn't know that so many divers had died in search of the elusive coelacanth....

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Fuck you, Ken Starr and the Mormans horse you rode in on.

Yeah, that really pissed me off. If people knew that Prop 8 would lead to existing marriages being nullified, it wouldn't have passed.

Really? You think so? I don't.

ION, a cool new alternative-fashion blog with the NSFW name: stylecunt

So far, the pictures are at least SFW. Lots of awesome boots too.

Well, if, say, 2% of the people who voted for Prop 8 had voted differently, it would not have passed. I think that would have happened if people knew that marriages would be annulled.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Fuck. Matilda had her last circus class today, and finished off an otherwise lovely session by bouncing off the tumble track (basically a long trampoline for tumbling runs) and whacking her head against the wall. Hard.

Now she's got a goose egg on her forehead that's literally as big as a chicken's egg. It looks horrible and application of ice is wails and wails and fighting and upset.

Woe and stress and horrible looking bruises before birthday parties.
