Merry Christmas

T adopted a hippo for me. I don't collect hippos but my favorite Christmas song is "I Want a Hippopatumus for Christmas". Last year he got me a little plastic hippo, this year he went all out and got me a real hippo. How cool is that? I shall name her Bessie.

Early morning wake up call

I love my dog. I love my dog. I love my dog. Murdock woke me up at about 5 am this morning digging into my back. He must have thought I had hidden a bone up my ass or something which might be a more pleasant way to wake up. I'm grumpy.

Liquid Love

Say hello to my little pencil.

I just have to rave about my new "Never needs to be Sharpened" pencil by PenTech. It writes so smooth. It is like a ballpoint pen except it is liquid #2 lead...

It's awesome, although, I feel like a 4th grader when I am sitting in a business meeting taking notes with one of these, due to the bright-ass orange eraser top.

Haikus of the past

Chris does Monday haikus and that got me remembering when T had a blog so I dug up some that were contest entries on his blog years ago. His contest required that you had to use 3 words out of a list... some fo the words to choose from were: lemongrass, nurse, snow, defenestration, Ghandi, apple juice, luddite, London, speculum... Here are some of the entrants. Shannon's was the winner.

THIRD PLACE-
Did Ghandi smoke it?
Is snow white? He did inhale
Lemongrass doobies.
By- El

SECOND PLACE-
Apple Juice in cake
Lemongrass with hot mustard
Nurse! Pass the bucket
By- Sarah

FIRST PLACE-
I saw yellow snow
Just beyond the lemongrass
Its not apple juice
By- Shannon

Here was mine:
London is calling,
as the speculum opens
the nurse to the Clash.

Pump up the volume

Everybody Knows
by Leonard Cohen

Everybody knows that the dice are loaded
Everybody rolls with their fingers crossed
Everybody knows that the war is over
Everybody knows the good guys lost
Everybody knows the fight was fixed
The poor stay poor, the rich get rich
That's how it goes
Everybody knows

It's too early to be awake...
