After Sunday's shoot Dawg and I went to M&M World and Hershey then had steaks with his parents then we went home and I asked him to tell me stories about his life before I knew him so he did.
And because there are so many links in this post I just target="_blank" 'd all the links. You are welcome.
Facts about yesterday: E is even more handsome in person. Bearette is even more gorgeous and youthful in person.
I got to meet the mysterious D! Woohoo!
I am quirky and weird in person.
I like to walk around and talk about people I've never met. Here are pictures!
Facts about today: Dawg made a cake for it (go see!).
I am getting up early to shop for it.
I am spending a lot of time cooking for it.
We will have special guests in our home.
We would have had moreguests in our home but realized we don't have a lot of room.
We will invite the other guests over another time. (We will!)
It's cold.
I'm itchy.
Adventures will be had.
Today is Ripley's birthday. Being the AWESOME kitty mama that I am, I totally forgot and Catster had to remind me. I did remember twice before it was her birthday…
I just conferred with Dawg and we'll be celebrating her birthday on Sunday, our next opportunity to be together as a family in a wakeful state.
Ripley gets tons of love every day, but I still feel bad for forgetting the arbitrary date I chose to symbolize the date of her birth which I'm not certain of because I got her as a stray from the humane society. Anyway, here are a few photos of Rips the very first day I took her home with me. She was 5 months old and 5 lbs, 5 oz. :} (She's now exactly double that size.)
Happy birthday, Baby Girl. D and I you to little tiny pieces.
Some people, including Tori, did a meme where they took a photo of themselves unedited and posted it.
I break rules, you know that.
Two days ago I took a series of mirror imaged Photo Booth photos — directly after a shower, a while after the shower, then that evening. Here are those photos. The "best" of those:
Morning…
Noon…
Night…
It's weird to me how different I can look on the same day.
My brain is decidedly cluttered and unfocused today, so you get random Poppy core dumpage today.
Last night I tried to apply for a job online at a company you would know if I told you the name of it, but the process for getting my information filled in was sooooo convoluted and was taking sooooo many steps, that after 15 minutes and still only being on Step 1 of 6, I gave up. I then selected another job from the list I was looking at and was able to send off my information in 5 minutes. That company has a list of clients you've heard of, but you've probably not heard of the company itself. I suck at gauging how I'd fit into a corporate company, but this one looks a'ight from the internet. I just can't handle companies where the owners act like kings and queens and treat everyone else like servants. I've worked for a corporate company like this and it's precisely what turned me off to the corporate world for 6 years. I'm a human being at work and at play… and if I'm doing the right work then I am really enjoying what I'm doing… so don't stifle me with your bureaucratic bullshit.
I really miss PiC and da Bomb, who coincidentally both used to be my officemates when we were in the "sharing phase" of officenessdom before lots of people left our department and our floor. I'm seeing Break Boy and HLW Wednesday when Dawg and I go to Vermont, but there's not really any time for a work visit. I have a built in camera and internet access, I should log into chat and see if either one of them will talk to me. I've heard through the grapevine that things at work are very ungood, and this is something I get to feel guilty about. I know I didn't cause it, but my departure contributed to my very good friends' workload.
I also miss K and J in New Hampshire. Hi, guys.
It smells really strongly of garlic in the apartment today. Dawg and I made those yummy chicken cutlets last night that he'd been drooling about all day yesterday and they came out fantastic! I prepped them and he fried them.
They came out a perfect golden brown and were perfectly cooked — very crunchy on the outside, very moist on the inside.
The Lehman Brothers bankruptcy is a very bad thing for New York City business. Yes, please to Barclays. And… the AIG thing isn't helping either.
HOLY SHIT! You know that guy who does the World Series of Pop Culture?!?!??! Pat Kiernan!!! HE'S A NEWSCASTER ON NY1!!!!!!! (Um, am I the only person who knows what I'm talking about? Mebbe. How about we look on YouTube…)

And now, a KITTY BLITZ!!!!!!!!!
We live in a neighborhood with a school. The other night we heard the infamous ice cream truck come through at 10:00PM. Dude, TOO LATE. TOO LATE!!!!
Yes, there just might be (ok, ok, there definitely will be) a Cereal Wednesday tomorrow. I assure you, once your hosts have settled into their new home (as in, we have more furniture than a desk and two chairs) we'll be better about filming.
LLA holds her collection of slugs. Love her hand in motion. She's used to holding toads so she instinctively was covering her hand to make sure the slugs didn't escape.
