Lest anyone begin to wonder if I've died, I think its time for an update ( Read more... )

Lest cat owners feel left out by the growing number of dog sports, things like this come along. I'm not quite certain whether to be amused, impressed, or both. I've never known a single cat that would actually be /willing/ to do something on command (let along something like that!)... In any case, I think I've seen everything now =P ( Read more... )

The weather's been so nice here lately. *bliss* It was almost 60 degrees day before yesterday, then almost 70 yesterday... it was /so/ nice. I've spent an extra long time outside with the dogs. I really do like being outside... just a good deal more when its a lovely day. Its a bit humid so I'm having a few breathing issues, but there are certainly ( Read more... )

Hmm, I thought this article was really fascinating: Mathematical Mutts. Its one of those things that doesn't really surprise me (possibly because I've just grown accustomed to the idea of a thinking dog), but... its really not one of those things most people seem to expect out of animals. Then again, I've been fascinated by just about everything ( Read more... )

The weather service claims it /may/ snow on Friday. Not that it will snow, but that it 'may'. And this snowfall could vary from a few flakes to a snowfall significant enough to disturb day-to-day activity (now, in Oregon that's a half-inch ( Read more... )

2005 at last. First day of the new year and I'm not feeling particularly perky about it .. unsurprisingly. I can't say I'm sorry to be done with 2004 though, too many of us need a better year this year.  I'm not certain I have one specific resolution. A very general thing, though: I intend to be comfortable with myself this year, and keep doing the ( Read more... )

Christmas Eve, and I'm still not feeling particularly Christmasy. Its not like me, since I /love/ Christmas, but... it just seems to be the flavor of the year, this year. Usually I'm happily indulging in my favorite Christmas cd (complete with the obligatory track by my favorite boyband ;) Bah. I have decided to be the grinch this year ( Read more... )

I love my espresso machine. *glee* I had forgotten where it was for like... a year. But now I've found it, so more coffee for me! Someday, I may even steam the milk right. I'm craving Starbucks horribly though, bah. I reaalllyyy want an iced mocha (with an extra shot, of course *mmm*). Starbucks is about the only place I can tolerate their mochas ( Read more... )

Snagged from elrina. I've done this one before, but I'm bored enough to do it again ;)

Step 1: Get your playlist together, put it on random, and play
Step 2: Pick your favorite lines from the first 20 songs that play
Step 3: Post and let everyone you know guess what song the lines come from
Step 4: Cross out the songs when someone guesses correctly

Bah, I hate irony. Last night I planned out in-depth the jumping exercises I would do with Noelle today-- there were five or six, all designed to make her a better jumper. Unfortunately... my plans hinged on the forecast being correct when it predicted no rain. It hadn't rained for the past three days, and wasn't supposed to until Thursday. Right ( Read more... )
