What? No pictures?

Jodiva’s recent entry on the camera Gestapo at Whole Foods reminded me of this time Plus One, my friend Ryan and I went to our favorite Mexican restaurant (which in the interests of protecting the innocent—us—shall remain nameless here). I, as is my habit, ordered an adult beverage, a blue sky lime margarita (and if [...]

Well, that’s what we’ve been trying to tell you

While I would more likely say that it was the homebuying and building experience that sucked rather than the home itself, I’m still not surprised that this Google search brings you here first. Caveat emptor, kids.

Gee, they got a band

And the band’s got an album:

Here are the rules (I don’t remember from whom I got this, but all the kids are doing it) to generate a fake band and its first album:
1. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random
The first article title on the page is the name of your band.
2. www.quotationspage.com/random.php3
The last four words of the very [...]

And yet, I don’t really believe in symbolism

Last night, we had a friend over to watch “Sex and the City” on DVD. (She and Plus One have never seen it, and I’m always willing to watch it again.) While we were pouring drinks and gathering snacks, Plus One looked toward the living room and said, “What’s on fire?” Out in the street, [...]

“Sleepaway”

When I got Boris, nearly fifteen years ago, he was thirteen weeks old. He belonged to a co-worker at the time, who had brought him back from his parents’ farm in Michigan and had bestowed on him the unfortunate name of Huckleberry. What he didn’t know at the time was that kittens will keep you [...]

Huckabee Huckabee Bo Buckabee Banana Fana Fo–well, you know….

David Smith of the Human Rights campaign told CNN Huckabee’s comments make clear the former Arkansas governor stance is “out of the mainstream of American thought.”
“I think he’s equating a loving marriage between two people of the same sex with some form of bestiality,” he said. ” I think that’s really out of the mainstream [...]

“More cat pictures”

I noticed I have a lot more photos of the dogs than I do of the cats, and in particular Boris, who spends most of his time down in the basement because he’s perpetually afraid of Anya. So this one is from the archives, circa 2004 in my old house. He’s a handsome boy, isn’t [...]

Prayer works

I prayed to Kylie, and now Boris is coming home. See, I’m not godless; my god is just blonder and more stylish than yours.
I kid. I don’t worship Kylie. (OK, I do, but not like that.) But there is good news about the kitty. The vet was planning to remove Boris’ catheter last night to [...]

Boris

…is not doing well, sadly. He was at the vet’s office overnight on Friday, getting IV fluids as his kidneys have started going wonky. (Natasha’s have been wonky for a while now, and she’s on special food and three different medications for that and her thyroid.) He came home on Saturday and seemed to be [...]

Here puppy, puppy

Yesterday morning, while I was upstairs in the office trying to clear off space on my hard drives (which could almost be a metaphysical statement about my life at the moment), Anya and Dakota started barking their heads off. This is not uncommon, since there are still several houses under construction in the neighborhood and [...]
