So, somebody did me a ssssh! today (only with out the card).
I had a holly bush out front that had pretty much died because a tree had decided to grow up rightnext to it and stole all of its nutrients, killing it. Well, someone came buy today and broke away the bush and trimmed the tree up so it looks nice and growing. What a nice treat.
Thank you Thanksgiving Weekend Invisible Good Deed Doer! :)
Even tho this isn't a traditional holiday around the house by any means this year, the one thing that IS traditional is my deviled eggs. Which are pretty darn tasty if I do say so myself. This year I had some help. And he was pretty proud of himself.
What a big boy he has gotten to be.
We miss those that are away and eat an egg for them today. :)
This is why it sucks to be my cat.
You go to the vet to see about a sore on your chest with a lump under the skin and have the following things done to you:
1)You get a thermometer up your butt.
2)You get shaved on your chest.
3)You get something shoved down your ears to clean them out and then some medicine put in them to help get rid of the mites.
4)You get eye gel put in your eyes for conjunctivitis.
5)You get meds put in your nose to relieve conjestion/discharge.
6)You get an antibiotic shot.
7)You get a syringe full of medicine put in your absess in your chest.
8)You get a dose of Revolution put on the back of your neck to prevent more mites.
9)And finally, you get a pain pill to make up for all the mess you have just put up with - only you don't like to take pills.
And this is why is it good to be my cat:
1) You have me to care about you and take you get all of this fixed up.
My poor kitty needed a stiff drink after all that.
I thought this shirt was so damn funny I was snorting when I was laughing.
'Course it was also the night when trying to give Aunt Selma the link, she said "Spell this for me." To which I replied, "t-h-i-s-f-o-r-m-e". It was only after she wrote it down did she say "Bite me." hahaHAhaha
On the heels, okay, well, 2 months after, the news of a possible Family Guy movie, comes the news that Fox may bring back the series.
From the article: "Fox Television Entertainment Group chairman Sandy Grushow said a decision is expected soon and called the series a late-blooming phenomenon that may have aired before its time."
While I am sure that is partially true, I think alot of it had to do with the fact that it was on a channel that didn't have the balls to keep it on - let alone not censor it like they did. If anyone should be airing new episodes, it should be Cartoon Network. They are the ones that have really brought it back, with the nightly airings and even airing the unaired episode "When you wish upon a Weinstein". And they should continue to reap the benefits that they are enjoying now since it the number one show with adults on the channel. So, hopefully that is where they will end up.
Once again here we are at tog.com hq. It is that annual event known as "PaulaDay", where we celebrate the fact that I am on this earth.
The decision was unanimously made this year that while I will still enjoy the benefits of the birthday traditions of presents and cake and overwhelming adoration, I shall no longer observe the changing of the years. So, I will stay 32 from now on.
I didn't wanna do something silly like stay 29, because, I didn't mind going into my 30's. However, 33 just sounds so freakin' Adult - with a capital A. 30 is cool because you are "just hitting your 30's". 31 is fine because you are no longer new to the 30's anymore. And 32, well, 32 is distanced from your 20's enough to scoff at them 20-somethings (that's right, I'm looking at you, Stinky), but still be kind of in your 30's and still not too old.
So, yeah, I'll stay there. I will still continue to live my life like the soccer mom I really am, yet still pretend I can go out and dance the night away and not give a shit and not bitch. Right.
Yea!! Happy Birthday to ME!!! (Because it's always all about me.)
My son is getting to the age of calling and being called by 6yo kids in his class. Which is great and nice that my kid is sociable. What is hilarious is what the conversations that ensue. Overheard tonight:
Nate: What are you doing?
Ashton: (I have to wing this part since this is one sided) Nothing.
Nate: You have to be doing something.
Ashton: pppbbhhhtttt
Nate: Did you fart?
Ashton: No
Nate: ppbbbhhttt
Ashton: Did you fart?
Nate: Yes, pppbbbhhhttt
More fart noises occur and in a few minutes I go to see where the child is, since he has my bad habit of walking around while on the phone. I find him in the bathroom, having a comfy sit down just chatting away on the phone.
A few minutes later, when he is back in the living room describing what is on the Tivo I hear:
Nate: Well, my arms hurt, so, bye.
Nate: No wait, nevermind, I switched.
More fart noises.
Nate: Mine was longer than yours. (and) That's just sick, sick, sick, sick.
So, even at 6, the boys are already whippin' it out and comparing. Heh. Boring, yet funny all rolled into one. Gotta love it.
Just in case you were wondering when some of the shows that aren't on the broadcast channels were coming back, here is a few and approximate resuming dates:
The Dead Zone: USA Networks Anywhere from late March '04 to early June '04
Monk: USA Networks January '04
Stargate SG-1: Sci-Fi Channel January '04
Penn & Teller: Bullshit: Showtime January '04
Dead Like Me: Showtime July '04
The Sopranos: HBO March 7th, 2004
Real Time with Bill Maher: HBO January 16th, 2004
Six Feet Under: HBO June 2004
And, Odyssey 5 is bye bye. One of the actors, the guy who played the surviving son, is the lead in UPN's Jake 2.0. There are still 6 episodes that haven't aired in the US, and starting in January all of the Season 1 eps, including those 6, will be shown on HDnet channel on the Dish Network.
So, lots to look forward to, which doesn't make up for all of the crap that is on tv now.
So, in the two months I didn't post, I got 345 crap spam comments. And they were just annoying. I mean, they didn't try to sell anything, just random comments like "I like your design" (which I think is pretty evident is a shit comment) and "Interesting point" when bitching about dropping a ladder on my foot. You get the idea.
But, they did leave a url in the comments box, which I followed. It was completely in Spanish and when I ran it thru Babelfish, it still didn't make any sense. Something about checking the internet out of the hospital, or something. I dunno.
Anyway, I am running Movable Type and came across this great MT-Blacklist plug-in. It's a big collabrative list of spammers and it checks against it before allowing the comment to be posted. And it allows for the de-spamming of the existing comments. So, in one fell swoop, all 345 comments went bye-bye. Sweet.
It's not so much that this story proves how sue happy CZJ is, what's funny is the picture that they chose to run with it.
So, while torturing myself checking availablity of the W Hotel, I came across this press release saying that Starwood Hotels is going to be opening a W Hotel in Dallas, to open in 2005.
It is going to be open across from the AA Center, and have a 10,000sq/ft spa. Spaaaaaaaa. And my heavenly bed. And only 3 hours away.
Man, 2005 cannot get here soon enough.
...and all I bring is a Tattoo Pimpin' t-shirt.
That's right - this is why you keep coming back to tog.
