I'm sitting on the sofa and Trouble is laying on the top of the sofa behind me asleep with his head on my shoulder, like a dog stole. So. Damn. Cute!

It really pisses me off that Sean "Cardinal" O'Malley all but endorsed the McCain-Palin ticket yesterday, seemingly because Palin has a baby with Down's Syndrome that she chose not to abort. What? Although certainly not as bad as W, McCain and Palin do not represent Catholic values. It's naive to think that Roe v. Wade is going to be overturned ( Read more... )

Watching "How Dogs Changed the World" on Nature. As the narrator rambled on about how we adore dogs and the feeling is mutual, and how meaningful our relationships are with dogs, Trouble stood in front of me and audibly belched. Nice.

I need a new bike. The 3-day Autumn Escape Bike trek was this past weekend. What was supposed to be a three day ride turned into two days when I blew a tire out in the first half mile.

This guy is such an idiot, and so is his lawyer (although I'm sure he was manipulated into allowing this interview). Anyone with basic abnormal psych can tell just by reading this that the guy is a sociopath, a pathologic liar with narcissistic personality. Does he really think he has us all fooled? He's not even a good con man ( Read more... )

All of the hype over swimming this year makes me smile inside with smug satisfaction at all of the people who think I'm ridiculous for being such a fan of cycling. I'm just waiting for Matt Phelps to test positive (not bitter at all!). The good news in Olympic cycling is that Swiss rider Fabian Cancellara won two medals, in the men's road race ( Read more... )

Working overnights in the ER is against the Geneva Convention. "What do you want to know - I'll tell you everything just MAKE IT STOP!!!".

There was a cat food commercial on just now that said their food is "filled with delight". Know what else is filled with delight? This bottle of red wine I'm drinking to recover from 4 overnights in the ER
