lisah, if you are around, where in the hell do we find out what our new trash days are with the once a week pickup? I'm not finding a sun article on it, and the city website is singularly unhelpful (I can't even find were it lists my normal trash days, and they don't have the new recycle pickups there yet either.)

I'm pretty sure it hasn't been announced yet. I bet they are still trying to figure it out. It doesn't go into play until mid-July though. I'm pretending it's not going to happen until then. Also, I need to get a new trashcan with a lid and hope this one's lid doesn't go AWOL like all my other trashcan lids have.

If you need to know your current trash/recycling schedule, you can download a pdf of the 2009 calendar here: [link]

Ginger, I'm so glad Mr. Peabody is doing well. There was a case here in the last couple of weeks of a dog who was deliberately burned and ended up dying from his injuries. They just arrested 17-year old twins for doing it. I can't really read too much about the case though because it makes me so sick. god, people sometimes.

Is this something that should go in Press?

For some reason, I thought it was this month. Shows how much I've been paying attention. That calendar is recycling only, fyi. I'm not too fussed, but then, I generate more recycling than trash, so...

BTW, if you get this chance, check out last night's Colbert Report. He's doing his show from the Persian Gulf in conjunction with the USO. I think he was trying just a bit too hard during his opening segment (probably nerves) the episode as a whole was pretty amazing.

oh weird, I never noticed. It says call 311 to find out your trash days. But you could just see what your neighbors do.

Colbert actually looks pretty good with a buzz cut. It should be funny watching it grow out. Obama: "No, my ears are just that big." Ha!

Echidnas are too cool. I'll be a long-beaked echidna in my next next life, please, after the one where I'm a pampered housecat.

Wilson the New Cat has come out of hiding and let me pet him. The two cats are hissing at each other through the door. It's progress.

Tino made me come in for an early meeting that had no relevance to my actual job duties. Fuck you, Tino.

And I just realized that I walked out of my apartment this morning without my workout clothes, but I suppose it's for the best because I don't trust myself to operate heavy machinery today.

I know what the trash days are now, I was just wondering what they will be. But since it isn't happening this week, I'm not gonna worry for now. It's just goofy that they have that calendar but don't mention regular trash days at all on it. Or anywhere fairly obvious (to me.)

It was a nice enough tribute to the old Bob Hope USO routines, but it was stale as a result. I liked the taped bit on his boot camp training.

Yeah, the golf club was a nice touch.
