Oh, my God, I can't believe it
I've never been this far away from home
Oh My God
Originally by Kaiser Chiefs, done best by Mark Ronson with Lily AllenMy ex has pretty good taste in music. In particular, if there was a good new song by any even vaguely mainstream band she almost certainly heard about it before I did. To name just one example, she ( Read more... )

First off, I'll be working at The Cheese Shop on Saturday from 9 to 4. Come by and say hi!

Two weekends ago Tulip & I were in Chicago to watch tigerlily_blue run the Chicago Marathon We stayed with Wayne & Jen again. Wayne was also running the marathon, so both he and Rachel were being careful about what they ate on Saturday, but Jen was under no such ( Read more... )

A very small dog followed Hamlet & Tulip and I home on our walk tonight. He's got a collar, but no tags. I'm pretty sure he's still a puppy. Right now he's camped out in Hamlet's crate with a bowl of water, a chew toy and some snacks. He's probably exhausted since he followed us for 12 blocks; once he got in our yard he was easily lured with treats ( Read more... )

Some of you may recall when my friend herpdaddy came over and took photos of Tulip for us. I got him to do an encore earlier this week, just in time for the third anniversary of Tulip coming to live with us.

You can view the highlights on Facebook. I hope FB one day decides to let you embed photos in posts, but for now I'm too lazy to sign up for another ( Read more... )

Tulip caught a bird tonight on our walk. Well, maybe caught isn't the right word. We were walking alone when I saw what appeared to be a dead bird on the grass by the sidewalk. I quickly moved to rein in Tulip before she could nab it, but she managed to stretch out and pick it up, at which point it stopped playing dead and started struggling madly ( Read more... )

So we've had Hamlet for about nearly four weeks now and things are slowly starting to fall into a routine. During the first week we were concerned because Tulip seemed very uninterested in him and mostly ignored him. Then we realized that it was because she was in ridiculous amounts of pain. She had broken one of her dewclaws in such a way that it ( Read more... )

Well, Tulip got all messed up.

I came home at 1:30pm yesterday to drive xhollydayx to a doctor's appointment. I went to let the dog out first, but I didn't have a good enough grip on her collar. She broke free and took off running before I could get her on the lead, presumably after a squirrel or something. Initial attempts to call her back were ( Read more... )

The Fuzzy Overlord came to live with us just over a year ago. In celebration of her one-year anniversary as my favorite dog in the whole world, we got my friend and coworker herpdaddy to come over and some photos. Tim spends a nice chunk of his disposable income on camera gadgets, and his photos show that he's definitely getting his money worth, as ( Read more... )

and I'm used to ridiculously cold temperatures. Temperatures that never got above freezing December through February were practically the norm, and we usually had a week or two where it never got above 0 degrees F. Fortunately, it was only a two block walk to school ( Read more... )
