The thing is, since the picture is kind of off-center, the effect is slightly more subtle, and it looks like I could be really making this face -- this kind of "I can barely wipe the drool from my own chin" face. I think this should be my congressional campaign poster.
Or at least, that's what they want us to think.
Behold, Sadie and Edie working together in an attempt to look pitiful enough to score hummus and pita chips. This is one of the few sure-fire ways to keep both dogs calm -- though you do have to deal with Edie's drooling. I swear, I have never seen a dog drool as much as this one does. It's like she has shoestrings hanging from her mouth.
I'm behind on blogging, but meh. For the five people that read it, I apologize. For the other six billion, really, I could say anything I want right now and you'd never know. Suckers.
So this little guy was just chilling out sunning himself a few days back. Even though I live in the south now, this was the first time I can remember that I've actually seen a lizard just hanging out. In Florida, I saw them all the time, but never here. Perhaps it's because we have an artificial pond really close by the office, but not at the house.
When I was a kid, I remember catching a gecko for a school project (this was when we lived in Texas, so the extent of the project was probably "Go catch a lizard and we'll give you an A. Also, make sure the lizard says good things about Texas." The public education system in Texas left a lot to be desired), then keeping him on past the project was over, assuming he'd make a cool pet.
PSA: Lizards are very boring pets. They really don't do a hell of a lot. The lizard in the picture above? Yeah, pretty much doing 95% of what lizards do -- sitting around. Get a real pet, like a very large dog that likes to eat your furniture. They may be more expensive, but at least they're not boring.
Also, don't send your kids to school in Texas, unless you want them to think that "get" is spelled with an "i."
This stands as the most fucked-up thing I've seen this week (and I saw a clown getting out of a taxi this weekend). In case you can't tell due to the resolution, that is indeed an ambulance converted into an ice-cream truck. You can't really see it from the picture, but the compressor motor was bungee-corded to the back of the thing. Funnier still, they ran the amp for the crappy ice-cream music through the same sound board as the sirens used to run through, so every twenty seconds or so, the sirens would go off.
