It's simple. I slap 'em around a bit, torture 'em, make their lives hell...Sure, the nice guys'll run away,but every now and then you'll find a prince like Spike who gets off on it.

And none of us deserving the cruelty or the grace -- Leonard Cohen

Awesome, Amy!

Those are awesome, Amy! What adorable kids, too.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

ION, I am such a dork. I have nearly taught my dog Frankie the command "Relax." It goes Sit, Down, Relax (roll over on back).

That's wonderful! Tell me you use "Frankie Say" as the command for "Speak" (even if it's not true, I want to believe).

Walter refuses to roll over. My sister's dog, Gina, finally learned it and now it's her go to why-won't-you-give-me-a-treat-already move, so I was hoping having her stay with us for a week would help him get it, but no. I've tried the treat thing, he just swivels his head around until he can't any more and then looks at me like I'm crazy. And if I try pushing on him, he just jumps up and walks away, affronted.

Because books.

Only one of them is mine, but I love the other one, too. She's a doll.

And way to go with the not smoking, Jen! One day I'll ... think about it. For a minute.


JenP - Sep 05, 2011 8:58:15 am PDT #24214 of 30001

Oh, I hear you, believe me.

Only one of them is mine

And I even knew which one!

Love the tattoos! Awesome.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Erin's rates are up on her website: [link]

Man, one of my former trainees drunk dialed me last night, which I forgot about until I listened to his apologetic voicemail just now. He and his wife and baby are homeless right now. He's working and she's trying to collect unemployment, but it hasn't started yet. Even the shelters are overflowing, sadly but unsurprisingly.

Love the cold kiss tattoos!

Oh, smonster, that must be so hard to hear. I can't even imagine.

I'm trying to decide if wearing them to the signings I have to do is cool or totally uberdork.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I have nearly taught my dog Frankie the command "Relax." It goes Sit, Down, Relax (roll over on back).

That's brilliant!

He and his wife and baby are homeless right now. He's working and she's trying to collect unemployment, but it hasn't started yet. Even the shelters are overflowing, sadly but unsurprisingly.

Damn, this is heartbreaking.

I'm trying to decide if wearing them to the signings I have to do is cool or totally uberdork.

At this point, uberdorkiness becomes cool.

The flaming angels inspired people! Excellent! I paused for lunch, and now am reinvigorated to do yet more closet-purging. What stuff have you found in your closets that you're appalled you still have?

I have two pairs of Rocket Dog shoes that are so cute it hurts me that they're just a few centimeters too short for me to wear. Anyone want black canvas slip-ons with silver skulls on them, that are just a bit smaller than their alleged size 10?
