revenge
All I can say is that I love this. Finally a way to stop ads from appearing. Instant speed for your browsing pleasure! After making banner ads -- "Can't you make it blink? What about making it look like an error message, so that you fool them into clicking?" -- this is pure pleasure [thanks to bendy for the link].

[ok, so I just said a good bit more, didn't I?]

one coffee, two..
aah. bit sluggish and under the weather today. fighting off this bug for a coupla weeks, and i'm starting wear a bit thin. bit of a full weekend --

lost? the usual random fun at the chinese new year treasure hunt. did well despite much slow ambling, gawking at dragons, and minor food browsing -- note to self: never deny jenie food or tapioca drinks, she gets grumpy, and you'll only have to go back for them anyway ;-}. our team was made up of two lindas and a very giddy jenie. had the usual fun running amok through the various stratospheres of the city (both economic and geographic). my poking fun at teams in matching attire bit me in the butt, as linda showed up in a work sweatshirt matching my own. ah well, that's another lesson in humilty or something.

found? working on placing mabel in a home. hoping that the folks who visited this sunday (judy of the flying donuts was one) will work out. but i'm not doing the hard sell, really. REALLY.

but do think good thoughts for sweet mabel, and focus on visualizing a good loving home -- before i jeopardize my rental ability even further (even in this market, one dog is a tough landlord sell, but two...?)

lucky? so in addition to good mabel thoughts, send cwee good thoughts and good luck -- she's got that hideous behemouth of an exam for the next THREE DAYS -- t/w/th. tho why she wants to pass the bar in jersey and penn -- mebbe she'll come to her senses and move out west. hey, and no slacking! -- good thoughts for all, no scrimping on cwee or mabel, geddit?

dogfull=godless?
so, i was going to rant and rave about the stupid "quality of life hotline" that gavin being-rich-can't-make-up-for-brains-and-a-soul newsome has come up with. in case you haven't heard, he's got a 1-800-gavin-sux hotline to call if your quality of life is being offended by some panhandler, never mind that there already exists legislation to restrict pandhandling in specific locations (near atms, for instance). they'd just better have a provision for other quality of life offenses -- the men in black that always want to talk to me about god (like someone walking dogs needs god -- dog is god, if you look at it right). and what about the idjoits that think the dog i'm walking (be it bassett, lab, or chihuahua) is THE dog that killed diane whipple? I mean honestly, I'm afraid of yuppies, but I don't squeal when they walk by (thanks to lots of socialization) -- they could do the same and practice a little restraint.

way to kick 'em when they're down, gav. don't fall for his pseudo-spritual "I give a shit and want to help" spin -- gavin is targeting the homeless in a shameless effort to build his voter base for the next mayoral run (yes, there are plenty of people who think we should just "hose them off the streets"). do we really want this kennedy-wannabe as our next mayor?

preprandial?
oh, but the reason I'm not (?) ranting (yeah, well, whatever) is that I just read on jill's blog that the musee mecanique is closing down this year. damn. one of the coolest things sf has to offer -- and one of the only places you can still have fun with nickles and dimes. jill also has a link to a dogshow photo that illustrates how far awry dog breeding can go. I need to eat something before linking to it, so you'll have to just go read her blog. it's well past time to eat.

mebbe it's the hunger that's making me grumpy. of course, there's this hideously annoying holiday today -- dees is thousands of miles away, headed for a tropical island (waah) -- but I just hate this day. gonna try and spend some quality time with Kehoe today, as we rarely hang out anymore (she's got quite the social life).

oh, and there's the little issue of a parental visit. they're arriving a whole 24 hrs earlier, so today's my only day to prepare. Prepararions include cleaning, cleaning, running in little circles, drinking lots of coffee, forgetting to eat. Oh, and stressing out. Which reminds me, I just read an article on not eating while stressed (it's fattening). I wonder, do they think we'll just never eat, being stressed all the time? and how the hell is starving better than stress??? ok enough, time to eat. with any luck, I'll be happier and more consistent with my capitalization next time.

procrastination
supposed to be working. so i'm blogging... i think it's going well, but always have that bit of anxety before deadlines. but really, if it weren't for deadlines, i'd never get any cleaning done.
...

vindication
been obsessed with a new korean soap -- arum dahn nal duhl (beautiful days). thanks to jenie, my soap (and food) guru. if you can eat it, or if it features grown women crying as they apply their makeup, chances are, jenie knows about it.

luckily for my relationship, dees enjoys watching it (can you believe until 5am on sunday???) and can figure out much of the dialogue without much korean vocab (she knows things like "hello" "eat more" and "why aren't you answering your phone? it's your mother, pick up the phone...")

but the real vindication came when the sweet love deep troubled interest boy (as opposed to mean/cruel also troubled beautiful love interest boy) made spam fried rice for his love interest (former orphanage long suffering clumsy older sister). that's right, SPAM fried rice. mmmmm. see, it's cultural. enough said.
...

obsession
yep, the pmail works. thanks for the messages. makes my day. any yes, it's the one in charlie's angels (right?). and yes, it's red. tho i might eventually get a clear sanrio cover, or a black bruce lee cover or... i've even downloaded a silly hiphop ringtone for it. yes, i'm an embarrassment. woohoo!

ok, to werk.
