funny Paris Hilton slam v. McCain for his attack ad
John Stewart said that Paris Hilton's parents donated $4600 to McCain's campaign and were not pleased that he associated their daughter negatively with Obama in the "He's a world-wide celebrity,...but is he ready to lead?" ad.

work reward
I did good work today and thought I'd watch some hulu with dinner. I'd never heard of America's Got Talent (because no TV), but this was among the excerpts that served as a reward was: OMG-WTF!

Ochra Bread
Another newer than New South recipe from me--ochra bread. This weekend I donated a zucchini and other ingredients for mosno to make yummy zucchini bread. I adore zucchini bread and could consume my total daily vegetable intake that way if I though it was healthy.

scare-mongering as help
A few days ago my aunt forwarded another mass email I characterize as "spider danger." The first one she sent was an urban legend of some made-up form of spider from Asia that supposedly had killed a number of people in a restaurant chain by hiding under the toilet seats and biting them in the ass.

happy dog update
Today, after 3 days of syringe feeding, boodog ate wet food out of her bowl. Yay! She is hungry but seems to get dizzy if she lowers her neck to get something off the ground. Her water dish and food bowl are elevated, and I've been putting wet food and treats there. She also took her standard around-the-park walk today. It was probably a bit much ( Read more... )
