For those of you that have expressed concern due to my earlier post no
worries I am fine. It is Friday after all and usually that makes
things better at least for a couple of days.

bad mood

I had an awful day where my faith in humanity and just the hope in general that if you do the right thing that it will get better was completely shattered. This is not the venue nor could I even find the words to convey what happened or why I feel this way. I just want to vent that is all. My question is why people continue to do fucked up things and then disguise them as something else entirely. ( Excuse my language but those who know me well should be used to it). Just call it like it is I can totally respect that. You want me to do something just because you can tell me to do it, sure fine but save the spinning for someone else I don't play that.

As the saying roughly goes DON'T Polish a turd and try to sell it to me as a diamond.

You betcha

Take that McCain, I just nailed jello to the wall.

just cuz

I am voting for Obama because I think his voice is sexy.

I don't know anything about his policies and I think it would be insane and out of line if anyone said that this stance was ignorant or dangerous. I totally think catch phrases are awesome and I want to feel like the people who are leading the country are just as dumb as I am. I don't think it is at all disingenuous to replace foreign policy and actual knowledge with pointless phrases that reduce things into a complete meaningless substance free pile of gibberish. Yup sounds sane to me, read my lips joe six packers this is why America is awesome.

I have a bat in the Belfry

So per usual I have been dragging my feet on updating, I have a lot of excuses but I think I used them last time.....So since I last blogged the dog survived as you can tell from the previous post(now she has an epi pen...i know i know that sounds crazy). A hideous mangy ugly sick cat moved into the front yard....We tried to ignore her as she lay on the lawn "playing" dead.....and well to make a long story short we fed her.....took her to the vet.....gave her a name...Formaldehyde....and still refuse to say she is really our cat even though she lives in the back room since she learned how to use the dog door. How can you resist that? We just got her fixed and the vet thinks this steroid shot should stop the wheezing sneezing and mouth ulcers so I guess she is here to stay. CousCous would very much like her to politely leave but I don't think that is going to happen.

So the reason I feel energized to update is that I had a very nice and fun weekend with nephew nano. We played with legos a lot, first on Saturday we put together a smaller set on Indiana Jones legos that included motorcycles for a good old fashioned bad guy chase. We dined on Lunchables, or at least bo and nano did I sensibly made my self something else to eat. Then I remembered there was a cute kids movie out, IGOR. I saw the trailer and to be honest I wanted to see it myself but nephew Nano provided cover for me. It was very much in the vein of Tim Burton, especially the way the King looked like the mayor in Nightmare before Christmas and the sense of humor was great. I really enjoyed this movie and already am planning to but it for my home collection when it hits DVD. It was better then i even thought it would be, with a good plot. After the movie we went to Panda Express, I haven't eaten there except maybe one time in college so I was a bit hesitant, also since fast food chinese is not my favorite. I have to say although still not in my list of favorites as far as being cheap and decent and not making me sick from the grease and msg like other cheapie chinese places this place is a good stand by.

The evening was finished by some sponge bob and running in circles. Then in the middle of the night Nano awoke(i think at first to pee) but then to declare how awesome it would be in the morning when we put together the Batman legos etc etc. (we didn't get to them the day before since the movie took a chunk of daylight). I suppose the anticipation was killing him all night, that is what makes kids so sweet they unlike us embittered adults truly get happy over the seemingly smallest things. So at 6:45am this morning Nano and I began to construct the Batman set, luckily I had saved the harder set for last because I am as sharp as a tack at 7am!! After a lucky charm break or two we made it through and now nephew nano has a pile of cool legos.

The rest of the day we spend digging in dirt, making messes and taking couscous for a walk. Then for fun we tried out the ice cream place that opened up recently in the Tower on Olive. They have a variety of ice cream some made at Fresno State and some Foster Farms. I had mocha almond fudge, Nano had Rainbow sherbert and Bo had Butter Pecan. There were no complaints and no ice cream left from the three of us so that is a good sign. The place is cute I hadn't made it in prior to today. I hope they make it and I will make more of a conscious effort to head down there. Of note they even have ice creams for your dog, so if you are walking fido by you can stop and not feel guilty since they can join in on the fun!!

a picture says it all sometimes

i still hate BEES

I know that without bees agriculturally we would be screwed....I respect them for their hard work and sacrifice and for making damn good fruits and vegetables etc. etc. but i still secretly wish i could have a little invisible bubble around me that kept bees and all their little stingy friends away from me......Ever since my mom was gone one Saturday and my dad let me watch "Attack of the Killer Bees" the sweet little flying things have been on my shit list.....I read everything i could while growing up certain that any day a migrating hive of killer bees would land in my back yard and abolish me from the planet.........why you ask am I on an Anti-Bee tirade on this lovely and peaceful Sunday evening............well you see my beloved allergic to apparently everything dog was 'allegedly" stung this morning. This hasn't been proven beyond a reasonable doubt and since this is indeed the USAand i have no innocent or guilty suspects to deport to Guantanamo I may never know the truth...All i do know is that my dog vomited.......then collapsed and then started having trouble breathing..this lead me to drive 70 mph on city streets to the Pet Er...........where they saved her life but definitely not my attempt to pay the credit card off...........so while acknowledging they are completely amazing creatures with their little dances and much better then humans since they self police and murder the lazy.................i still state with no remorse F - YOU BEES!!!!!
