Frizbutt, originally uploaded by Meetzorp. I was looking through the pictures I have on my harddrive, looking for some ones I took at the West Side Community Garden last summer, and I came across this completely ridiculous shot of Minnie sitting in a Frisbee. It is exactly the size of her tush: no larger, no […]

I just started running a bath a few minutes ago (our bath fills fairly slowly) and that foolish Griswald leaped into the bottom of the bathtub before there was much water in it. He stood at the back of the tub and watched in intense fascination as the water edged closer and closer to his […]

Guess who had a bath? My favorite little source of allergens got a good scrubdown today. Normally we try to bathe her once a month, but she hasn’t been bathed since before the wedding (something like 2.5 to 3 months) and she was dander-rific. She’s a component of the factors that sent me to the […]

This cat is a professional getter of my goat. I swear to you all that for the past 7 years, she has been pushing my buttons daily, multiple times a day. If ever two beings could be less in synch, the only recourse would be all out war. This cat! Where even to begin? Maybe […]

So, today I hauled home about 70lb of old kids’ bikes for some of the neighbor kids. Granted 70lb in Roadmasters = two of them. That kind of load makes the ol’ BOB trailer awfully wobbly. I was SO glad to end that ride. Bleh. Joel and I will be going over the bikes to […]
[flickr video=http://www.flickr.com/photos/ornery_chick/2675869286/] Here is a video of Smallcat eating the membrane from the inside of a bell-pepper (that bit of stuff the seeds hang from). Oh and yes, I did meow back at the cat. Force of habit; I meow at my cats. I am a gigantic doofus. Also, yes, Smallcat is rather chubby, but […]

Smallcat, who is all too cute for her own good, shows me her “good side.” On Sunday I got remarkable co-operation out of the little devil and had sufficient available light to work with so that I could get pictures of her which show off her color, markings, and generally fuzziness to good advantage without […]

1. I got the new camera I’d been saving up for. I’m now the owner of a Canon Powershot G9. I’ve gone out and done some test shots to get used to it, but since my computer is in the shop right now, I can’t post ’em yet. Joel’s computer doesn’t recognize my camera, and […]
There was this one Invader Zim episode where Zim turns Dib into bologna because Dib threw bologna at Zim. (click this link to view the episode in another browser)  When Bologna comes in contact with Zim’s skin, it fuses to him, causing him immense pain and wailing.  I know that makes no earthly sense, but there […]

I had a 3-day weekend this past weekend due to Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Day. A 3-day weekend is always welcome – in fact, I wish they all were, considering as how I generally spend all of Saturday on the run, then Sunday doing basically jack. That Monday in a typical 3-day weekend is […]
