The kitties demand equal time in the spotlight. They also demand unquestioning loyalty and a spearmint-scented litterbox, and fresh tuna chunks hand fed to them by servants wearing fuzzy velvet gloves. I think they'll settle for a comfy chair...

One political comment, for a change...
Republicans of the world, go find a sharp stick and poke yourself in the eye.
Drink your blood. Understand the taste. Get to know the sensation. Savor the intensity.
You assholes started a bullshit war, got a bunch of Americans killed, ran up a huge bill, and now you will sit there and vote against a plan to try to save this country from receding further into an unmistakable depression? For real?
My house has lost 10% of its' value in the past two years. My friends and family are getting laid off left and right. I work in the field of education, which I suppose is considered "safe", but my trade-off was lower wages and a mountain of school loans accrued over the years. So I'm only suffocating while watching people around me get their heads cut off. Yay.
Please, explain to me how your values coincide with decency, and kindness, and hope for a better world. Dazzle me with your logic. But understand that while you are talking in circles, I'll probably be off doing something constructive and useful for the world, trying to make it better, not whining about democrats and liberals and the loss of morals leading to some imagined, inexorable march into Hades.
And thanks for getting money for schools and civil services cut from the stimulus bill...fucktard republicans and spineless democrats, shame on you both. Karma, anyone?
Real life is lived by people in the real world...a world that politicians cannot see in the fog of their ambitions, a world that only seems real when you are close enough to it to actually feel the pain. |

Just an update to move the x-mas picture of the dog down a notch. Not that we shouldn't have the spirit of the season in our hearts all throughout the year.
The dogs paws are muddy now; this is the side effect of the snow melting and the yard being a bit of a swamp. Speaking of the yard, it looks like it has been beaten to death. Little patches of dead grass, the ground all lumpy, leftover leaves from the fall and, of course, half disintegrated piles of dog poop are the common features of the yard.
We had a tree planted out front at the end of autumn. Hopefully it survived the winter and comes out of hibernation this year. It is a Kentucky coffee tree. No, we won't actually get coffee out of it (mental image of a tap in a maple, syrup dripping onto pancakes...mmm, pancakes) but supposedly the seeds of the tree have a coffee scent.
And with the taste of warm weather come the thoughts of projects. The little sidewalk coming up to the front door, adjacent to the house, is starting to sink. That should probably be broken up and replaced. We may take out the pool and use the regained yard space as one of several gardens. I don't think I was in the pool mroe than twice last summer. What's the point? The jungle gym/playset/potential splinter factory may also be removed. Most of the shrubbery in the front is hideous, so that needs to be re-done. I stained the deck last fall, but nosted that some of that came up over winter, so that probably should be done again.
I'm seriously considering renting a little dumpster and just taking a few days off of work to get it all done. But that makes me want to demolish the bathroom as well, just to have all this big trash out at the same time. Anyway...it will probably be 20 below again next week, so this taste of spring is a bit of a tease, but I'll take it. There's only so many days below freezing that a person can take. |

On top of a ski hill, in the god-forsaken state of Utah. (Just kidding, Mormons, please don't kill me.)
