The amusing thing that happened today was that there is a box for food donations to the hungry at my work place. Now keep in mind, this is a BIG office and consequently a BIG box, like the king you would get a mini fridge in. And what was inside it you say? What plethora of foodstuffs do the government workers have to offer to those families less fortunate? One, yes ONE, Apple Strudel. Those kind you get at 7-11 that are under a dollar. Eat well families of fate, eat well those denizens of poor fortune and dine, nay FEAST, on Apple Strudel. I am actually shaking my head sadly as I write this.
New News. Got me a puppy. A little beast of pure poo-dome. But bar none, the cutest thing I have EVER seen. So when you get woken up at 4 in the morning only to turn on the lights to see the puppy has not only eaten her bed, which I must say defies physics as it is bigger than her, but apparently has the digestive tract of a Sawmill and has already pooed it out, only to, yes you saw this one coming, use it again as a bed. It's recycling at work. So when you are awoken out of the dream where you are scrooge McDucking it into a pile of cash only to have to clean up vast VAST amounts of puppy poo, and you feel like wringing their little neck, it is good, at least for them, to be so uncontrollably cute that even being covered in your own feces comes across as mind boggling adorable. Note, babies do NOT and never shall possess this ability, if they did everyone would have one and teen pregnancy would be the "in" thing, but this puppy can, and so needless to say potty training is a little hard when you can't scold them for tracking poo around the house. But this puppy is a handful. She has already eaten a bee and had her head swell to the size of a softball where we had to take her to the vet. While she started off scared of EVERYTHING, she is now attempting frequently to run into the road, thinks that she chases away cars, yes CARS, by barking at them, and she has on multiple occasions "rolled with the big boys" which is no exaggeration as she has bitten and hung on as she has been lifted off the ground, to the face of the in laws Great Danes, who, thankfully, are too nice to eat her in response. Pictures to follow.
What else is new. Hmm. Reached a new top bench weight the other day. For awhile friend Joe and I have been gyming it so I have been able to lift more weight cause there is someone there to catch it when I drop it on myself. Other people in the gym, not so keen to help. I think they find it amusing to watch someone squirm under a barbell for awhile. Keeps them in their place. But new weight reached was 245 lbs on the bench on a surprisingly zero energy day, or as I like to count it 17.5 Stone. Rock it old school style.
Went wine touring on Saturday and got a bit toasty. It was "bring your dog with you" wine tour day so we saw many a puppy but I think ours took the cake and ate it too. Finished off the night by lighting up the new fire pit with gasoline. Drinking, and using gasoline as lighter fluid = not the best idea in the world. And for anyone who hasn't yet, while it is impressive, the ignition WILL knock you off your feet. First hand experience is all I will say, and I will add that that is a very sturdy fire pit and that we discovered rocks CAN burn under the right conditions.
Did the 48 film competition the other weekend. For those who don't know the 48 hour film competition is where you roll in and get a genre, a character name, a prop, and a line of dialogue and must make a 5 minute film with these in under 48 hours. We ended up getting Sci-Fi this year, and I got to act in it, while not really helping in other aspects due to time constraints, but it came out alright. The link is here:

The way it is written is that a guy unknowingly is stuck in a TVesque world. Not sure if the writing reveals that to the degree it was hoped, but I think the cinematography and original musical score came out very nice.
Planning on cutting down a tree in my backyard tomorrow. Note that if you don't hear from me again if could mean I have crushed myself, or that I am just lazy. Sorry there isn't a better way to relate my fate. I'm sure the suspense will just frazzle you. Man, did I just use the world frazzle? My word.
Lastly (and yes I am reading off a list I have of things to talk about so SUCK IT), is that friend Brett just got a new Sprint phone and I WANT IT. This phone makes me realize how technologically far behind I am with my crappy phone which has broken 4 times and been replaced 4 times. His phone has an 8 pixel camera which is better than my REAL camera, and it has, follow me on this one folks, not ONE, but TWO cameras. And a kickstand. This thing is closer to a motorcycle than a phone. I want one, but sadly, I must wait for my contract to be up with Verizon or suffer their penalties which include large fees, being prattled at by them, them selling your information to everyone in the WORLD who will send you junk mail, a slap across the face by the mail man and possible circumcision. Boo.

Touch Twister: I kid you not, you blindfold yourself and do it by feel. I'm sure there is no way THIS has ever ended badly.
Seriously, gasoline??? We taught you better than that, didn't we?? Oy!
ReplyDeleteAnd that puppy picture is just tooo cute! You may want to do the invisible fence thing ASAP. Don't want your puppy to have an accident. They carry them at Home Depot and Lowe's as well as many other places.
Viewed your video! I found it hilarious! :) Keep up the good work!
