Love you and Higgy both.
Higgy Update...
The only change yesterday was that Higgy is now starting to be able to manage his new disability. He scooted himself into a semi sitting position. He got close to his food bowl so he could lean down to eat his kibble. He was hand fed and needed assistance with his bowl the day before yesterday....
I haven't seen Chuck yet so I am ignoring that whole paragraph except...I hope Kristin Kreuk is far less annoying in Chuck than she was in Smallville. I was so glad when she left that show!
And you were right there next to me...
And I said GO! If you're wondering if I want you to [I want you to] I want you to [I want you to]. Sorry about that. Had that song stuck in my head for a couple days now. On to Snippet Wednesday... Gift Less than a month until Katie's birthday. More precisely, only about two and a half weeks. I ...
Yay you for doing good things! I love stuff like this. :)
Doing good things...
One of my goals for this year was to volunteer more, and when Lily (rock star in her own right) sent me a message saying the Hypothermic Half needed volunteers I had to say yes. Well, I didn't have to, but it was one of my goals for 2010 was to get much more involved. Left to my own devices I...
Je ne suis pas lurker, just a bad commenter lately. But anyway...hi!
I'll show you mine...
Chris decreed... Aimee designed... and here it is. Delurk Day. Stop by say hello. ("Please don't go, I love so.") Thanks for reading.
Are you feeling any better? I hope so!
Hangin' by a throat lozenge...
We made it to the birthday dinner out with friends. We both looked at the menu wondering what the heck was going to taste good with raging inferno sore throats. I actually didn't care - when you can't taste anything, it's more about the calories for me. I flipped to the back of the menu, located...
OMG OMG, I made your list!
(heehee)
In the last 10 years...
I've seen this floating around other people's blogs. I started to write things down and wow, a lot has happened over the past 10 years. Decade Milestones - in the last 10 years, I... moved from the bay area (where I lived for 30 years) to Sacramento, CA got married to Ace went on an amazing Dis...
I do not see my name here, dammit. I am a milestone! ;)

Apropos of nothing but...I followed the yellow brick road to get here! Or should I sayyyy, the yellow brick post-it note. That was cute, Kevvy Kev!
And the pieces of my puzzle keep crumblin' away...
Considering how great my musical whorishness has become in the past couple of years, it should come as no surprise that I'm actually developing a list of albums whose releases I'm looking forward to this coming year. Of course, being the music industry, dates and whether or not they even come o...
I think it's funny that people got upset with Obama calling Kanye a jackass. I mean really, *I* think it's nice to have a president who is that open and honest. Besides, Kanye IS a jackass so it's not like he was lying!
He's the world's biggest...
Fasten your seat belt, if you can (more on that later), 'tis Snippet Wednesday! Disclaimer For any of you reading this or any of my posts in the Notes section of Facebook, you might have noticed how I talk about photo albums or videos that don't seem to be there. This is a quirk of the Notes app...
Good for you! I've spent too much time wondering why I am not as good or fast or healthy as others but every time I start comparing, I fall down even more.
I'm happy that you're just doing it to enjoy it and feel healthier because honestly, that is all that matters. :)
The birds will still be singing...
I have a confession to make, after a few months trying to transform into a runner, I crashed. I crashed hard. No, not a literal accident. Just the figurative "wall" that runners tend to hit. But it still hurt bad. There was a while there that I was doing pretty good. Constantly attempting to inc...
Oh man, I love commas. I'd probably go insane if I tried to type a whole blog entry without them. As you can see, I can't even leave a comment without them.
As far as new Fall TV goes, I've been doing the promos over at Snackie TeeVee and so far nothing has really caught my eye all that much. I'm probably going to watch Fast Forward, Community, The Vampire Diaries and Eastwick but the ones I am really exited about are V and the mid-season show Happy Town.
Walk away and taste the pain...
But don't come again some other day or you'll miss Snippet Wednesday! Office The big ol' honkin' special edition "Beet Box" set of season five of The Office came out yesterday at Best Buy and I gotta say there's one thing that pisses me off... the whole reason I got it was the T-shirt that was ...
I've had several situations in life just like the one you described above. Sadly, I too have just stopped talking to people because I was too cowardly to confront them. These days though, I wouldn't do that as uh, well...I am quite vocal when it comes to my thoughts.
I wish we all had the tools to be better communicators. Sometimes it boils down to another person having a terrible time in his or her life but we take their departure personally because they never let us in.
I hate it when that happens.
Where have all the good times gone...
Have you ever had a friend that suddenly, and perhaps even without explanation, ceases to be your friend? This happened to me back in high school. Shortly after I moved to Chicagoland, I met Pete (names have been changed). He and I, along with another guy I'll call John, were all really great ...
You started high school the year I graduated. Yikes.
Then we go back to school, yeah...
I don't know what made me realize this, but while working out at the gym tonight, I realized something relatively significant about today... Aside from it being the start of Katie's student teaching, today also marks the 20th anniversary of me starting high school back in 1989. Holy shit. I thin...
Le swoon....Eddie Vedder.
The damage done
I looked up at Jewels and said "I love this band." She laughed.This happens a lot.At any given point, during a Pearl Jam concert one will turn to the other and say this. Eddie Vedder was explaining that Ted Leo forgot his passport, so that instead of Ted Leo and the Pharmacist. We were getting...
Adam. Sorry, he pays me. ;)
The Summer Serenade Contest is Here
You've been waiting all summer long and now it's time. We have two wonderful guys who entered the contest and one of them is going to win a gift certificate for $65 to spend how they choose. Our first entry is from the always controversial but non-stop teddy bear, Adam of Avitable.com. If you c...
Oooh great picture!!! I love reflection pictures and can never get them quite right.
Wordless Wednesday: Flutterby Reflection
I don't think the CIA would publicly admit to anything, true or false. MmmmmHmmmmm.
And the spies hide out in every corner...
Oh, the PR person for the CIA is gooooood. Like real good. Like deceptively, manipulatively, strike-and-retreat-under-cover-of-night good. I saw a headline on my Yahoo homepage this morning that read "CIA was a long way from Jason Bourne" and just had to read it. I am always curious how similar...
One of the best pick-me ups in the world is flirting with random men at random places so yay for you!
In line at the supermarket...
My system for insuring that The Boys get fed something quasi-healthy a few nights a week isn't entirely scientific. It's bbq season so we do basically forms of meat and veggies. I will stand in the grocery store and do the planning there. The Boys are fussy. It's simple meat, veggies and some fo...
Okay wait, what?!?! How did I miss the first part of this? Yanno, maybe less "taking days off from the internets" is in order!
I smoke two joints in the afternoon...
I'm fearing the fact that only three out of 15 of you guessed correctly in my Two Truths and a Lie challenge on Saturday is indicative that I'm more full of shit than I previously thought. So congrats to Becky, Tori, and Stacey for correctly guessing that #2 is the lie. Here are the backstories,...
Since everyone else has already talked about Star Trek, I will say this...don't apologize for talking about religion on YOUR OWN BLOG, mister! It's your pad and we're just visiting. ;)
Ahem...of course this has nothing to do with the fact that I will be talking about it myself later on. ;)
Can't you smell that smell...
I am making a concerted effort to ensure that this blog is more environmentally friendly. To that end, this Snippet Wednesday is 100% compostable and can be used as a very potent fertilizer (read: kapgar.com is more full of shit than ever). Mac I can't wait... less than a week... however, after ...
Every time I watch Chuck, I think of how Dave stopped watching cause he was whiny. I want to run and tell him how much of a fucking rock star badass Chuck has beome! Cause really? Not only is he now the spy supreme but wham, bam...take that bitch!
Oh-oh-oh-oh-operator...
"Mom, do you ever get that, er, not-so-fresh feeling?" "Yes dear. Every Snippet Wednesday." Swing I'm up at bat. The guy in front of me in the lineup just belted an in-the-park homerun. I have to keep up the momentum. If I strike out, the side is retired. I hate being the one to end an inning. I...
Thank you, Kevvy Kev. Me loved you long time too. ;)
Zo-om-bie, zo-om-bie, zo-om-bie-ee-ee...
I was talking to a neighbor of mine recently and she related a story that happened to her a few weeks back. She was at an extended family wedding reception with her longtime boyfriend when a table of 20-something guys called her over. They were mostly friends of her daughter and were pretty toa...
Jinkies! Sorry you had such a frustrating technology day. You are far more calm about it than I would have been!
I'm about to detonate and demonstrate...
Why does the news of my day always have to play out like a Clint Eastwood movie? Specifically The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. The Good: An Apple Store is moving in literally about four blocks from where I work. Okay so this is good news for my Mac Whoredom while spelling disastrous news for my ...
Yay, you launched the new site! Okay, you could have done this eons ago but I'm on vacay so I just now saw it.
Love it!
I am the hunter...
I am the Great White Mouse Hunter. I have skills that far supercede any mere mortal when it comes to the trapping and elimination of small furry rodents. I am the Great White Mouse Hunter. When most people fail to capture their disease-laden adversaries, I succeed. I am the Great White Mouse...
