(no subject)
MLK Day is one of those bogus holidays, you know? I mean, Martin Luther King is most certainly deserving of a holiday, way more than so Christopher Columbus, but it's one of those days where you can't figure out if you should be working or not, or if you should resent working or not. I say we celebrate it more, make it more important than Labor Day or Memorial Day, and just nix Columbus Day altogether.
In any case, I'm somewhere in the world between working and not working, which is why I'm updating when I don't really have any news. Uh, here's some randoms:
* We tried to go see Brian Posehn at Zanies this weekend, and seriously I just feel lame typing Zanies. What a shitty name for a comedy club. It's as bad as the Laff Lounge, or some shit. They should be ashamed. Anyways, we couldn't go because some bitch RIGHT in front of us bought the last ELEVEN tickets. Are you kidding me?
* I love making and eating gnocchi, or any homemade pasta. So much so that this FebSev, we're having a homemade pasta party at my parent's instead of going out. Dave's making bread and pizza dough, Jenny's making pasta and ice cream, and my mom's making me a birthday pie, since I've got no use for cake these days. I'm going to make limoncello cocktails and watch the puppies. Speaking of which,
* My sister is adopting a Malamute puppy. I love love love snow dogs, so I'm excited for her, and I'm also sort of feeling some schaudenfreude since I'll get to see my sister relive the shitty first days of new puppy ownership.
* I taught Oscar "speak" last night. He's very smart. He's now enrolled in the Petsmart obedience classes, which are not as great as Pup Scouts, but they're working. He learned "leave it!" last week and now we use it all the time. This brings his trick total up to: sit, stay, come, down, drop it, shake, leave it, stand, speak, watch me, (though he'll only do this one for treats, which doesn't count), and bell (he rings a bell). He's also almost four months old and getting his last shots and neutered tomorrow, which means I'll be seeing you bitches (ha) at the dog park soon.
*We really want to move to East Nashville, within walking distance of 5 Points and hopefully Shelby Park, if that is even geographically possible. We can afford a sweet house, probably, if we can sell our own house, which is not so probable. Our must list for a new house: front and back porch, big kitchen, fenced yard.
* This is a very long entry for someone with absolutely nothing to say.
