Sick f—cks

I haven’t yet said anything of substance about two of the major news stories of the day because I’m too busy pondering how fucked up people can be and how it feels like trying to climb out of quicksand when you start to suss out the reasons why humans can be so utterly fucked up that they feel entitled to fuck up other people’s lives in the most unforgivable ways. You’ve got this sick fuck…

Apologies, but I have to post more animal videos

On a day when the news is full of shocking violence and despicable sexual scandals, there’s really no reason for me to post animal videos. Except that I couldn’t possibly add anything to the myriad discussions on the web regarding the day’s events. And these videos are funny. So, just temper your daylong attachment to the gritty news with these videos of hilarious cat antics, just to remind you that not everything in the world…

Animal cruelty ahead:

I know putting a little bit of tape on an animal’s foot is pretty mean, but I’m not above doing it for a laugh every now and then. Plus, it’s payback for all those times I’ve stepped in piss while the animals sat in the corner and snickered at my half-repulsed, half-pissed reaction. I wish I had a better camera; when Felix darts under the bed, you can’t really see him hopping around trying to…

Yesterday

  Krissie and Nick. I intended to wish both Nick and my sister a happy birthday here, but I ended up coming home after the fair and passing out. Which is why I’m up at 7 a.m. (Actually, I got up shortly after 6, before the sun was even up.) Luckily I remembered to call them both — my sister in the morning and then Nick yesterday evening (I would have called yesterday morning but…

Not-so-instant karma

I’ve long known that celebrities are more powerful than the rest of us, and that they have direct, unfettered access to one of the myriad ears of God in case they need someone smote for talking smack about their huge, diseased lips. But I didn’t realize that you could be smote multiple times for offending a celebrity. I really thought I had toughed the worst of my karmic punishment earlier this year. Not so much.…

Perfect timing

This time last night I posted an entry about being driven nearly to insomnia during my first year of college by nocturnal noises I was powerless to stop. And at the end of the entry, I expressed my gratitude for my own apartment, in which I can sleep soundly with no annoying noises to keep me awake all night. Well, tonight as I was sitting on the couch, winding down after work, I heard a…

This is what a real ferret pen looks like

I just wish this video was accompanied by its actual sounds instead of this song. This very annoying song. In other ferret news, Gonzo’s not looking so great these days — he’s lost a lot of hair but it’s kind of hard to tell because his skin is as pale as his coat was, so he looks the same until you’re up close to him. However, he has been playing a bit more lately, which…

Sweet Sachafras

Yesterday I posted a hilarious Borat video over at Wineography (NSFW unless your boss is OK with weenis), when I proclaimed aloud, “I am in love with him.” Which is true. Ever since Talladega Nights I’ve been crushing on Sacha Baron Cohen. And last night as I slept, my brain decided to make a story starring him. And here’s how it went: We are in my parents’ house, in my old Pepto Bismol pink bedroom…

Trolleying

Phil’s neighborhood is bustling around the clock these days. Last weekend the Cooper-Young Festival had the streets teeming with cars looking for nooks and crannies into which they could shove their compact cars. Now it’s the fair, two blocks from his house. Everyone’s looking for free street parking so they can avoid the $7 parking fee at the official lots. Several of Phil’s neighbors, not recognizing him pass by in my car (his car has…

Somebody stop this thing

I know it’s horribly cliché to even mention how flabbergasted you are by the passage of time, but it is almost October, which means Christmas is almost here, which means I am about to turn 25 years old, which can’t be right. I’m gonna need to see some documentation. And I’m gonna need for the Earth to spin a little less vigorously to ease me into fall this year. I love autumn, but I’m just…
