Connection


Brandy is 11 years old and doing well. I bought her this bone recently: you put treats in it and she has to figure out how to get them out. She loves it. She is a beautiful soul. I'll readily admit I love her more than Annabelle. I can't wait until I can have a dog of my own again (for the record, I adopted Brandy in March of 2001. My parents have had her for the past five years).

Hey!


What are you looking at? I can ruin Wendy's crocheting if I want to. I'm a CAT. Got it?

My Parents




My parents are awesome. I'm showing them off.

They took these photos somewhere in British Columbia. I think the bears were friendly.

Twiceland

I'm going back to Iceland in March. I found a stupidly cheap airfare and hotel package. Leaving Iceland last year was like losing a great book I was in the middle of. I can't wait to pick up where I left off.

Last year I continued on to Copenhagen, which was highly unnecessary. This trip will not involve seeing a certain cruel Swedish man (who is even more cruel because he's not even really cruel- he just doesn't like me).

I'm watching figure skating right now. In the pair skating, the woman just picked up the man and carried him around the ice. Awesome. You go girl.

Star Spangled Blather

Let's get this out of the way first: Christina Aguilera looked like a goth version of Donatella Versace. Sort of a less orange, sleeve-wearing Donatella. I'm not a conservative (um, am I?), a traditionalist, or a flag waver. But...if you're been selected for a great ritual that unifies millions of people, show a little respect. Don't look like a flesh-eating zombie (that black, black dress and that red, red mouth. Scary). Our national anthem has meaning to the players. Some of them appeared deeply sentimental; like they were going to cry during it, and it's not just because you, Christina Aguilera, screwed up entire sentences. Whole sentences omitted and / or combined. "What's so proudly we watched..."

No, we didn't.
