Can you see the fish she’s pointing at here?She also chases about a thousand sticks, swims and charms the boats full of rafters. It’s a fun outing for everyone involved.

I read on Squirrelly’s blog that he stole an idea from Odat’s blog. These bright folks took a test to see what book they are like. Squirrelly?? Watership Down. Odat?? Lolita.

“What are you doing?” D. asks looking over my shoulder at the computer screen.

“Why?”
“Because the guys on the radio said they were sexier than any other kind of underwear. I want to be sexy! Don’t you want me to be sexy??”

There’s [...]

My head is permanently stuck on a very stupid song.  (Rihanna &
Sean Paul Break it off - You Tube).  In an effort to relieve my own brain numb, I took a gander at the Denver Post.

I was driving home from the gym this morning and heard this song - It’s business time by Flight of the Conchords. I had to pull over I was laughing so hard. I showed the video to D. this morning and he laughed. (The song is funnier than the video.)

Our preliminary research shows that a diet of Twizzlers, the candy made by Satan, and Coffee, with a little soy milk for protein, will make a person quite irritable.
