because blogging is more fun than working...

here i am!

hope everyone had a fantastic easter weekend. mine kind of started off rough, what with the powers that be cowtowing to the jesus freaks and cancelling the naked chocolate man extravaganza. that really soured things for me, but i managed to regroup and make the best of it.

friday was a retail extravaganza. i hit the town and painted it green. went to home depot (mmmm, dremel), ikea (mmm, retail haven, square miles of stuff), garden shops, a bike shop and more. seriously i got my shop on and it was good.then there was my venture into redneck adventures in rockabilly bowling. it was actually an awesome time, and the band who played is from baltimore, and is an old roots rock favorite in these parts. website here, if you are at all into country, bluegrass or willie nelson (he's the man and he gets his own category) you should give them a listen. the whole scene was like urban cowboy meets city life or something- very hard to describe but certainly a bit surreal, all the while being a great time. the bar was chock full of rednecks and baltimore locals alike (not a huge stretch from one to the other), you could order your bud in a tall boy 22oz can or a longneck bottle, and the band was set up in the center 3 lanes of the bowling alley, just wailing away right up in your grill. it was fucking classic, and well worth the $7 cover charge for an evening of live music and bowling.


first, here is my traitorous dog, pining away for "someone" after he left saturday morning. it was gross, she stayed this way for like an hour:


it was cold and she sat there shivering in silence, so naturally i couldn't resist the urge to dress her up: notice where she's still looking. ugh. hussy!

then one thing led to another, and to celebrate the impending holiday i went up into the basket o headgear and found to my delight that i had in fact kept the remnants of last year's celebration. naturally, being 12 inside i dressed the dog up:
and then, just because i had a fez and i could, i bring you: easter shriner doggy:

Excellent fun. Dogs= dolls, but way way cooler.

I don't know why spending time with HN's family is taken out on Star but I think it's unfair at the very least. There isn't one dress up picture with Kitty in it. Why does he get off scott free? Just because you decided to spend some family time (over the holiday weekend no less) with your new beau doesn't mean Kitty shouldn't pay.

you are so right. as soon as i can think of a way to tie him down without killing him or someone to hold him, it's on.

did you know i contemplated naming him benjamin frankin? no point, i'm just saying.

Dude, I used to groom cats. Medical tape is a wonderful thing in times of movement free needs. :) Not only does it keep them still but when you remove it it only takes a *little* hair away unlike other tapes that rip them bald. Just keep it away from the neck and you must tape them down completely as they will thrash about enough to break their own backs. Think wrist and ankle type stuff. Not that I would know anything about that personally... just saying.

The old BF over "Kitty"? Come on now, BF isn't even unique or original.
