Maybe you didn't know but Libertad used to be a prize winning dog handler. Here he is with his beloved Tiny but Tuff. She truly lived up to her name and often without warning would lunge for attack. She was completely vicious towards other bitches. The other thing she was known for was her cunning ability to escape. One time my dad and I left her in her crate while we went into a hardware store quick. When we got to the cashier to check out we heard a car horn blow for a long period of time. When we left the store we found Tuffy standing up with her front paws planted firmly on the steering wheel. My dad and I were astonished to see that she escaped from the crate and was blowing the car horn! The crate was still locked and she somehow squeezed through the sides.



I love this picture. I love my hair and wish it still looked like that. I used to have really nice thick hair.

I do. I think it is gross not to, but I am also sort of neurotic. I just watched this thing on yahoo about the different stuff they find while testing new clothing. They find all sorts of bugs and yeasts and fungi.

They don't mention how often the clothing is made in third world countries who may use dangerous fumigation methods or the fact that the dyes and stuff they use in the fabrics are skin irritants in themselves.

I know a lot of people don't wash their stuff before hand. Actually I know someone who buys new sheets and doesn't wash them first. No skin off my back (unless of course I tried on your shirt before I purchased it).

I love sketchysantas.com

oops. i previously messed up the title when i called it a sicilian kiss. this is the kiss of death...



Anyways, I was just going though some pics from the summer. I took this one for @paul.

Perhaps my life is a bit boring, but I feel the need to talk about my new humidifier. I LOVE IT SO MUCH! (Fargo Asian accent). When I moved to my new apartment I slowly realized I was drying out from the outside in. My skin was cracking and burning and my eyes were blood shot and and I woke up so thirsty...and then I got the humidifier. My life is so much better now. I even love the bubbling of the water boiling. It is seriously high maintenance to clean it every day because my water is so hard and I am so OCD, but it is totally worth it.

I wanted one that had a digitally adjustable humidistat but I settled for one without because I wanted one so bad. I couldn't wait after getting a severe sore throat. This is the one I got. It is a Vicks so I have the optional medicine cup.





I use it in the bedroom because the rest of the apartment gets humidity from the toilet, shower and from cooking. The plants help too but they are struggling in the loss of humidity. I gave them all a nice long shower this weekend. They really loved the attention.

I can't stress enough, the right balance of humidity is essential. If you have too much, or too little, it can be detrimental to your health.

They still are dying, every single day. This bugler plays the best Taps I have heard.



If you want some History about Taps...

The nightmare is finally over. I cooked spaghetti and heated the wonderful sauce that @dcoffee and e:mtornow brought over for me. Thanks guys it was delicious!
