It’s true! I’ve managed to set off a chain reaction of dividing cells and eventual mind function!
In other words… Amber and I are having a fucking BABY…
…and I just remembered ever single bit of mischievous bullshit my parents had to deal with. Guess I better find a sturdy helmet and a good way to get dried ketchup out of cinder block basement walls.
Well, I survived my first Tennessee tornadostorm. Union University wasn’t so lucky. Their site is still down, in fact. Hope they had backups. Glad nobody was killed there.
My condolences go out to the families of the two who were killed by the tornadoes in Madison county last night.
I have never supported Huckabee, I think he is clinically insane, and has no business governing a state, let alone sitting in the Oval Office.
Thanks to Lew Rockwell for the following:
Well, we finally found a place for Boomer, which meant we could finally get the German Shepherd puppy we’ve been longing for. So, this past Saturday, we made the 2.5 hour drive up to Nashville to meet with Friends of Hannah Animal Rescue, and pick up our new little friend, who we have affectionately named Grif:
He’s mostly purebred (thanks Roy at Best Buy) German Shepherd, as you can see from the photos. We’re pretty sure he has some Chow in him somewhere down the line, as his tongue has some blue spots. His tongue has blue spots, which is apparently common in purebred German Shepherds. I had no idea. You can also see from the photos that he is 100% adorable.
Our other dogs are treating him as one of their own, as they should. Shadow, our 85lbs white German Shepherd, is very careful when playing with him. It’s the funniest thing to watch; she’ll BARK BARK BARK BARK at him (she is VERY vocal while playing), but won’t wrestle or push him with more than a feather’s touch. He’s still a little scared of his gigantic new friend, but making good progress. I think once he gets a little bigger he’ll feel more confident playing with Shadow.
This was inside my fortune cookie this evening at our local Chinese buffet restaurant. I just have to say….wtf?!
“It could be better, but its good enough.” Uhh.. okay.. so.. your wonderful, mystic advice to me is “yeah, your life could be better, but why bother? Settle for mediocrity.”
Brilliant. It’s a new generation of Chinese fortune cookies: Depression Cookies!
It really is brilliant, actually.. drive the population into depression, causing them to want to eat more… where’s the best place to drown your depression in prepared food? That’s right. A buffet.
Diabolical.

I have dogs. Dogs make messes. An unfortunate fact of life with dogs. But I love them nonetheless.
I came home from work last week, and one of them had left me a surprise fecal festival on the living room carpet. How thoughtful, just what I always wanted. Anyways, I scooped up the rectal gifts, tossed them into the toilet, and then some stain-removal advice I had recently overheard popped into my head: “Hydrogen Peroxide.”
I quickly weighed my options. All I had was Febreze and Pledge wood cleaner, neither of which would be sufficient to clean skidmarks from my living room carpet. My security deposit was slowly evaporating before my eyes. But then, out of nowhere, I remembered that I had bought a bottle of peroxide several months ago to treat a wound sustained while falling off of my bed (don’t ask).
Frantically, I searched the house for my bottle of carpet-saving goodness. Crap! Where is it?! They say whatever you’re looking for is always in the last place you look. That’s pretty obvious, why would you look for something after you found it? Well, it seemed like I was never going to find it, until I looked in the last place I would think to look, even though now it seems like it should have been the first place I looked: under the bathroom sink. Bingo!
I poured enough onto the stains to cover them, grabbed my trusty plastic-bristle brush, and started scrubbing. After about 2 minutes of scrubbing, the horrible canine poo stains were completely disappeared! Once the peroxide dried, you couldn’t tell there was ever a stain at all.
So, don’t waste your money on Oxy-Clean, or any crap like that. Just go to the supermarket, grab a bottle of hydrogen peroxide (usually around $1.00 US), and use that… it works better. In fact, I’ve noticed that the powdered Oxy-Clean doesn’t remove anything from the carpet.. it just leaves a light spot where the stain used to be. What a waste :P
