Good thing I have a couple cats and a potential dog to take care of, because this stuff makes me so very sad I may have to go with the other half and stop paying attention.

Must. Compartmentalize. Better.

What the heck. This is another one, but at least it’s funny. Got my Colbert Nation hat today.

Just bought, in a blizzard no less, all the accoutrement I need for a new puppy critter.

Not only that, I believe I have all the 79 items checked off the list in order to adopt a dog who needs a good home, which it’ll get, period, end of story.

So that part is kind of stressful and weird. Explaining your worthiness when you get offended by the question itself on any particular thing, while simultaneously understanding and even appreciating that they’re just making sure I’m not going to feed the darling they’ve been fostering to pit-bulls preparing for dog-fighting or leave it alone for days/weeks at at time, is a rare example of a circumstance my tongue, very near literally, is tied. It’s at least completely dysfunctional.

I don’t know any bad dogs, because I don’t know any bad parents.

He certainly passes the cute test…have to interact with him, watch him interact with some other dogs, and go from there.

Congrats to the Saints, and have fun in NO for the next two weeks or so.

I was there for Mardi Gras once. Fantastically sick and wrong, and this was the “toned down” era.

Haven’t been able to watch ‘em for years. So, I turn on the TV, and there I am on ESPN, (IL-Mich St.), cutting to commercial with a close up of some dude who was getting what looked like autographs tattooed into his arm. There were others.

See, I just don’t get that. Harmless, for sure! But I still don’t get it. And not just the tattoos.

The weird thing is, according to most of what I’ve read, is that she had at least some ideas of what the questions were going to be. So what are these, fall-backs?

Jeez*.

She’s a moron and and fraud and one of the better illustrations of our overall media-political environment there is.

*(Assuming this isn’t a likely fatal–career wise–photoshop.)

I was the first one to propose a 7-blade (to infinity) face razor when they went to 2.

Just saw a commercial for a 5-blader, my new personal record, witnessed.

Missed opportunities.

I’ve always been fascinated by people who don’t even pay attention to the things that impact their own life, like, say, politics, much less do any learning about it, so I’m equally enamored with explanations for it all.

This one is good, as is par for the course with Heywood.

It’s becoming increasingly and creepily hard to blame people for just checking out and grabbing theirs, since that what the Game seems to be about judging from our leadership.

He’s beautiful.

Still have to meet him, play with him, talk to him, act like a dog and see how he does.

Pretty cute, though. Good mix (though it’s a guess), too.

Update: This one was not my first choice among the many I had seen, but the foster mom thought we’d be a good match, the one I wanted (at least to meet) had already been adopted, and I think the interview went overall OK for the Snowman. The Snowster. Snowmerama. The Snowmeister.
