I bought this book today. I was flipping through it at Greg’s and it honestly made me feel like I loved Arthur so much I almost cried.

I’m in a weird mood today.

This rainy weather is giving me a serious case of the blues

Sat, 07 Nov 2009 13:17:08 -0800

Having to work on a Saturday doesn’t help either.

Holy moly check out that ponytail grab!!!

Dumb Nerds.

I like to get to my Political Science class early whenever possible, because the room is at about maximum capacity and if you arrive late you will be forced to to either climb over eight people to reach the one available seat in the middle of the row, or just sit on the floor in the aisle for the entire hour. Neither option is very appealing.

The problem with arriving early is that you have to sit there ten minutes and listen to this group of guys who are always in the back row having the nerdiest, lamest, most embarrassing conversations ever. Wow, they are amazing.

Today they were discussing how awesome it would be to kidnap Carrie Fisher, some how cause her to have amnesia (I guess they were planning on inflicting a little blunt force trauma?) and then convince her that she actually is Princess Leia and Star Wars is a documentary about her life. They all agreed that this would be amazing, but that it would be even more amazing if they were able to capture hot, 70s era Carrie Fisher rather than the ugly, old Carrie Fisher of today. It was the dumbest, nerdiest conversation ever.

The problem with these guys is not that they’re nerds who love Star Wars and video games. It’s that they’re stupid, loud nerds who clearly consider themselves to be witty and clever when they are actually just idiots.

It took everything in my power not to go back there and stuff them all into some lockers this morning.

Nerds!

Ugh, well, I think it’s time to admit it.

I lost my camera.

I have no idea where or even exactly when, but I know I haven’t seen it in over a month and I’ve looked everywhere. I keep thinking maybe it will turn up. I haven’t wanted to accept that it’s gone… but, man, not having a camera is driving me NUTS.

So, now to get something new…

Except, of course, I have no money.

Camera Fairy?

I’m glad I’m up to date on the names of famous pets in Portland as well. Speaking of pets, I just read via the Mercury that cats can get swine flu too! I hope Arthur doesn’t get sick (but I bet it’d be really funny to watch him sneeze).

I heard that too, and was very alarmed!

So I force fed Arthur a bunch of vitamin C tablets and Purrelled his paws.

So I’m working on a painting that is based on a drawing I did of my animation history professor.

Do you think I should show it to him when I’m finished? He’s super socially awkward and seems really uncomfortable whenever I attempt to speak directly to him, so I feel like he’ll probably think it’s weird that I painted him…

On the other hand, he’s very friendly via email. Maybe I should send it to him as an attachment?

Do you think he’ll give me extra credit?

Good Cat

Arthur always comes when called, but it is clear that it is not because he’s so obedient or loyal or well trained or anything like that. It’s just because he’s curious and he can’t help himself. You can tell it pisses him off, too.

I can sit on my butt and call out, “Yoohoo! Little kitty! Arthur!” and within a few minutes he’ll show up and look at me like, “What? What’s going on? You better not have called me over here for nothing.” So then I grab him and pet him and he’s like, “Uuuuggggghhhh. You dragged me away from staring out the window at birds for this?”

So, then he dashes off and goes back to his little kitty business.

But I can make him come back here any old time I want.

He just can’t help himself.

Currently every member of the household, which means myself, my boyfreind, Catherine (my best gal pal), Louie (my best step brother pal), Val (the roommate cat) and Arthur (you know him) are sitting around watching a Star Trek: The Next Generation rerun.

Also, I’m drinking a beer.

Man, could it get any better? I think not.

I just caught up on your tumblr.

It turns out you do know that Greg Oden has a dog named Charles Barkley McLovin.

And, yes, it is the greatest name for a dog. Especially when the dog is a girl.

So, as it turns out, Greg Oden has a blog. It’s not on tumblr, but it IS one of the funniest things I’ve read. It reads like Mac’s love letter to Chase Utley.

I don’t think that photo is large enough to read, so here’s the text (be sure to read it aloud for ultimate lolz):

All My Free Time
This summer is the first time i lived by myself in my life. I am enjoying it a lot. I cook and clean more than i ever use to do. One thing ive gotten into is tv shows all different types. I watch shows from The Secret Life Of an America Teenager to Real World Cancun to Cold Case, not the real Cold Case the one on CBS and TNT. Its so bad that i watch Cold Case up to 4 in the morning every week night, because it comes on TNT starting at 12 and they play 4 episodes back to back. It is my new favorite show it all i have on my dvr. Its sad sometimes but its cool and interesting, it would be sweet if i could be on that show.

Meg, I really hope that you genuinely appreciate this blog and are not just making fun of Greg.

Did you know that he has a dog named named Charles Barkley McLovin?

I need new jewelry. I keep just hanging different old earrings on this same gold chain. Is that weird? Does anyone else do this?

Any recommendations on a great jewelry source? Maybe an Etsy seller you love? It would be much appreciated. I’m sort of accessories-challenged so I could use some pointers.

Also, check out the streaming sunlight behind me. You can’t tell, but there’s also harp music and this voice keeps saying “The liiiiiiggght…. gooooo into the liiiiggght, Jeesssssicaaaaa”

Weird.

Tag Team – Whoomp There it Is

I made this three years ago. I think it holds up pretty well.

This is the video that made me want to be your friend.

malty:

holy moses, eggnog lattes are back…. and so is my fat ass

Back in my coffee shop days, eggnog season was such a curse. I was never a fan of eggnog lattes, but I AM a fan of eggnog. So I would pour myself the occasional shot glass worth of the stuff during my shifts.

No big deal, right?

Yeah, except when you work 6 hours and do a shot of eggnog every ten minutes and suddenly you realize you’ve consumed like 10,000 calories of nog and you have an urgent bathroom situation about to go down.

I don’t allow myself eggnog access anymore.

To do: Go to Wy’east Pizza!

“Check out that camper above and tell me that that is not one of the coolest street-food vehicles you’ve seen in a long time. As far as I’m concerned, the New York hipsters rockin’ converted mail trucks and quilted-tin carts or the Seattle folks doing it in Airstreams ain’t got nothin’ on the street-vendin’ people of Portland, who seem to have gravitated toward some sort of aesthetic that’s more reminiscent of 1970s clandestine weed growers shacking up on federal land than of edibles.” -Adam Kuban, Slice

Oh, and the pizza is, apparently, fantastic.

More rude cat behavior.

Mr. Spock and I worked for a crazy wizard and the three of us lived in a giant tree fort. We kept being attacked by the local towns people who apparently considered us shady characters and wanted us out. We spent most of our time repairing the fort and adding new, elaborate defense systems.

Eventually Spock and I talked the wizard into taking a trip into town and getting to know some of villagers so that they might stop attacking us.

We met some nice families and all of us went out to dinner at a mexican food place that served tater tots, but called them “totsi’s”

The end!

Do you mind?
