Karl loves me:
And, you know, I love him too:
…because I let him take a photo of my boobs! And Dawg pointing at them!
Speaking of Dawg… He did the dishes. Without me asking.
Best boyfriend EV-AR, in the entire universe. Poor Ripley, corrupted again by our bedroom discussion. Oh well.

Hey!
Where’s the PayPal button for the $5 a view???
How am I going to afford getting you stripped down now tomorrow night???
September 14th, 2008 at 12:11 am
I’m pretty sure you’ll think of a way.
September 14th, 2008 at 12:19 am
You guys are so damn cute…but I have to say Ripley’s cuter..that is one gorgeous cat! And I can’t believe you fit $400 worth of groceries in your kitchen..we need video proof woman!
Seriously…so happy for you guys..and good luck on the job hunt!
September 14th, 2008 at 1:52 am
You are SO cute together and you sound so happy in the video.
I love the double entendre on your shirt, btw.

sorry…forgot to hit subscribe…

Nervous blushy (yes, we can HEAR you blush) laughter is adorable. And so are cute couples.
Also, you gotta love Ripley’s “I’m surrounded by lunatics” look at the end.
September 14th, 2008 at 8:04 am
i laughed out loud several times during that video. you two crack me the hell up.
reilly is laying on the couch with me and he watched the entire video with me, turning his head sideways at ripley. ludo likes how poppy laughs and had his nose pressed up against the lappytop monitor a few times.
p.s. i have a few of those flattened bottle cheese plate / spoon rest / whatever the hell you want em to be thingies. loven your blue one.

My boys will load and unload the dishwasher … but they usually need some coaxking.
September 14th, 2008 at 10:11 am
Tell Dawg I have some dishes in my sink that need to be done. Does he empty dishwashers? Because my dishwasher needs to emptied too.
September 14th, 2008 at 10:22 am
Steph, an excellent point. Keep in mind, everything is waaaaaay overpriced in NY. I paid $4.59 for lactose-free cheese that I would have paid $2.69 for in Vermont. Also, I bought a lot of cleaning supplies and non-edibles. And I finally found the Clorox toilet wand! So, I bought that too.
BB, when we went to the really good Chinese food restaurant to get take-out a woman outside commented on his shirt. He turned to me after and said, “she has nooooo idea.” Ahhh, I love having a famous boyfriend that not everyone recognizes yet.
Creature, she truly is surrounded by lunatics. And, yah, I was totally
during parts of that video. Good thing I wasn’t on camera! 
Hola, Dawg’s favorite aunt gave us a bunch of kitchenware for the apartment, including that glass bottle thingie. I think it’s supposed to hang on a wall, but I like using it to hold the onion and garlic instead.
Delmer, Dawg needs no coaxing. He’s OCD, he has to clean up. But, like me, it’s selective OCD. We are surrounded by boxes until my stuff gets here from VT, and the mess is comforting. Having a messy sink? Not comforting to either one of us.
Lisa, he does empty dishwashers! He’s very domestic. Although, I’m getting the impression he does not do bathrooms. Luckily I finally have the perfect cleaning gadgets for the bathroom so that I enjoy cleaning it even though I say “YUCK, YUCK, YUUUUUCK!” the whole time.
September 14th, 2008 at 10:24 am
BB, ohhhh, I just realized you meant my shirt. heh.
Dawg’s shirt says: CEREAL KILLER.
My shirt is the truth. (ahem.)
September 14th, 2008 at 10:56 am
the little loops on the top of the flattened wine bottles are so that they can be displayed on the wall as decorations until you need em as cheese plates (wine and cheese, two of my favorite things…is 11 am too early for wine drinking?). i also use mine as spoons rests just as you also use yours to hold garlic. it is all good! i’m all about multifunctional.
September 14th, 2008 at 10:57 am
I seriously love to come by your blog and read about how happy you are. It makes me happy too.
September 14th, 2008 at 11:42 am
Good guys are hard to come by. We are lucky!
September 14th, 2008 at 1:08 pm
As BB said, love the t-shirt.
I do dishes every once in a while and without being asked. As long as I have my iPod on, it’s all good. We don’t have a dishwasher, so it’s all sink, soap and water.
September 14th, 2008 at 2:46 pm
Ooohhh…i LOVE the Clorox Toilet Wand….you will never go back to a scrubbie nasty brush again!
September 14th, 2008 at 4:08 pm
Dishwashing without asking is one of those jewels within the relationship. From a guy perspective, it’s a great move.
September 14th, 2008 at 4:11 pm
All I saw was a picture of a shirt. I saw no pictures of your boobs. But I totally understand. I wouldn’t want my boobs on the internet either.
September 14th, 2008 at 4:30 pm
Dawg is a lucky, lucky boy!
September 14th, 2008 at 8:41 pm
Doing the dishes…that is sexy :)
September 15th, 2008 at 6:55 am
Not for nothing….
Haven’t heard that in awhile.
You guys are cute.
September 15th, 2008 at 9:08 am
Your shirt is hilarious. I love birds, don’t you. ;-)
September 15th, 2008 at 9:12 am
Oh thank you for stopping him from continuing with the hand soap.
You two are so cute getting used to the domestic stuff together!
Oh Dawg, please, please shut the water off in between rinsing!! ARGGHH!
September 15th, 2008 at 9:44 am
Wait a second.
How is hand soap worse than dish soap? If anything it should be BETTER since most handsoap is used after using the toilet!
P.S.
The water must run to keep the germ killing heat in motion.
September 15th, 2008 at 9:57 am
I’m with you, Dawg. You keep the sink running while you work. Britt’s crazy!
September 15th, 2008 at 9:58 am
OMG NO!!!!!!!!
Once the water is hot enough, shutting it off for 30 seconds is not going to make it suddenly not hot.
Do you leave the water running when you brush your teeth too??
September 15th, 2008 at 10:10 am
OMG I totally do!!!
Besides… have you ever noticed how your dishwasher uses water constantly? That’s to keep the heat and the H2O movin’ to loosen up the food particles and the bacteria. I’m not only quicker, and more efficient, but I’m cuter too!
Not leaving the water running means it stagnates… and the only type of safe stagnant water is the chlorine brimmed type in a swimming pool.
Remember… this is New York… the site of the frontline battle against the West Nile Virus.
September 15th, 2008 at 10:22 am
You’re going to environmentalist hell, I hope you know that.
September 15th, 2008 at 10:30 am
Ha! I got backstage passes to eco-hell!!!
Bring on the global warming I say! I’m all about surfing down 5th Avenue!
September 15th, 2008 at 11:31 am
Hola, just pretend you work 2nd or 3rd shift then 11am is not too early to drink. You’re welcome.
Tense, I’m really glad my site does that for you.
Shelli, if you asked Dawg he would tell you he’s not a good guy, which amuses me.
Marty, we have two dishwashers! Dawg and Poppy!
Steph, I definitely enjoyed using it the other day, and going “eww, eww, EWWWWWW!” the whole time I used it.
Dan, he definitely gets thanked properly for doing them. (I scooped his ice cream for him! Gutter-minded people!!!)
Wah, Karl has X-ray vision.
BB, and Poppy is a lucky, lucky girl.
Bearette, I do enjoy watching him hold his hands in that soapy water…
Just Me, he says it from time to time. I don’t think I’ve heard anyone else say it…
Jan, I do, in fact, love birds!
Britt, so far it’s been super easy living together. It’s very strange. The only thing that ever happens that’s “bad” revolves around food. If one of us has reached the stage where we want to gnaw an arm off it’s time for an emergency feeding session. We have plenty of snacks in the house for this exact reason.
And…
Dawg, I’m with you on the water thing. Don’t care if we’re going to eco-hell, I always leave the water running while doing dishes, unless I’m soaping up a ton of utensils all at once. Not having the water running actually skeeves me out.
Avi, do you do dishes?!
But, when I brush my teeth I don’t leave the water running.
September 15th, 2008 at 11:37 am
I do dishes sometimes!
September 15th, 2008 at 11:43 am
Avi, who does them the rest of the time? (I’m really asking.)
September 15th, 2008 at 11:46 am
You guys DO know that you’re essentially paying money for water that goes straight to the sewer, right ?
September 15th, 2008 at 11:47 am
Creature, heat and hot water are included in the rent.
But, yes.
September 15th, 2008 at 11:48 am
Amy!
September 15th, 2008 at 11:54 am
Ok.
September 15th, 2008 at 12:14 pm
oh for fuck’s sake…ya buy a $1.75 dishpan and fill it with hot an soapy water. wash the dish, the set it beside the dishpan, in the sink. when you have enough stacked up, turn on the water and rinse the fuckers. then go back for more. you don’t leave the water running!!!
(where is the slap head smiley thingy?)
September 15th, 2008 at 12:19 pm
forgot to spell out that a bunch of dishes should be soaking in the soapy water!
September 15th, 2008 at 12:26 pm
Or you could buy a dishwasher. The electric kind. *ducking and running*
For the record, my husband does the dishes. I almost never do. He scrubs them under running water with a scrubber and then he loads them into the dishwasher. That’s why I don’t do the dishes because I would just put them in the dishwasher and let it take care of the scrubbing. He can’t stomach that. So he does them. (Did I mention that I hate doing the dishes? )
September 15th, 2008 at 1:51 pm
Hola, so we get a dishpan and then leave the water on anyway?
For it it’s an OCD thing, I won’t be stopping it. When we are suddenly so wealthy we have a permanent dishwasher on staff then we’ll save the environment. At least we recycle… and reuse…
Shelli, I’ve had an apartment dishwasher before, one that hooked up to the kitchen faucet! Gave it away to a wonderful woman who rescues bunnies and dogs, so needed a dishwasher for their food and water bowls. As long as the dishes got cleaned I don’t care if they were pre-washed before washed.
September 15th, 2008 at 1:57 pm
you make me giggle. although i should point out that it is an ocd thing that makes me turn off the running water. all in how you look at things…
