Oh, Dad!
Damn, that man is so hard to buy for....

It would be difficult enough if there was just the one holiday. But his birthday is January 7th, so i have always purchased 2 gifts during the holiday shopping season, since the shops are usually so picked over after x-mas.

Since i know he doesn't read this, i can say that we got him an x-mas gift already. A page a day calendar that counts down the day Bush leaves office... oh, how he will love love love that.

But what to get him for his birthday? We probably won't be able to see him because of mine and (e:Uncutsaniflush)'s work schedules... so i need to be able to send it or have it delivered.

How can the internet have run out of ideas for him!! How??!!

What to buy for the man that spends the majority of his time working for his own business or parked in front of the t.v. smoking weed?

I have already done junk food baskets and t.v. guides for him for soOOoo many years. Besides, he has high cholesterol now... so no more cheesecake of the month idea....

Oh, Daddy... i love you... but... what to get you for your birthday can be such a challenge!!!!

That monkey Idea is the best idea I have heard, that is untopable. I say cross into Canada and let him know he will get his gift late then go find him some really good weed. I have heard not sure how far it is but the best stuff is IN B.C. I have heard you can even find flavored Peach and other flavors there. How you would find that out I'm not sure does High Times have a web site or subscritions in Canada.

neither of which will be easy to deliver, seeing as there are customs issues...

but amusing ideas....

Birthday's, User Sounds and Shopping


Poor (e:Uncutsaniflush) had to work on his birthday. The only good thing about it was that i have baked him a cake as a surprise when he gets home from work. Hope to hear from him soon letting me know he is on his way home...

Happy Birthday, my wonderful husband. I love you. You rock.


I changed my user sound. To my favie xmas song. It used to be Kate Bush's December Will Be Magic Again, but since i heard it for the first time last year, it is now the Hippo Song... i just LOVE it. Thanks, (e:Uncutsaniflush) for finding and downloading it for me!


While looking at stuff online, i came across a few things i thought were amusing, but not for anyone on my list. Thought i would share....

I'm just kvelling over that meshuggenah keyboard.

I'll never buy it, though, because if I did, I'd get too preoccupied with hacking OS X to replace the cloverleafs in the menus with Star Of David symbols.

Been Waiting At The Bus Stop All Day
It's funny what people will do in cars when they don't think people can see them. Standing at the corner of Elmwood and Delavan waiting for the bus to work today around 1.30pm, it was interesting to see the variety of things people were doing in their vehicles while waiting for the light to change.

A lot of men were picking their noses. Not a sly little "i need to get rid of this booger" pick, but full blown arm all the way up there. Some are even on their phones at the same time. I wonder if the person on the other end knew they were...

Quite a few women were grooming themselves. A lot of hair fixing, mostly, but the occasional makeup. Most surprising was the woman brushing her teeth while on the phone.

There were few readers. A lot of radio/music changers. Some even doing the now old school cds... maybe some ipods, too, but i couldn't tell them from radios if they were docked.

I was disappointed to see as many SUV drivers on phones... not that i am all high and mighty, but it sure does fit the stereotype, doesn't it? I supressed my urge to scream "HANG UP AND DRIVE ASSHAT!" by a thread. Who has PMS? Not me!

I saw a lot of inconsideration, too. People trying to make it through the light and ended up on a red in the middle of the intersection so the vehicles on Delavan trying to cross Elmwood had to wait for the next light.

I wonder what my next bus wait will produce....

I like to watch people driving by when I'm waiting for the bus, too. This post made me smile.

Or the Violent Femmes "Waiting for the Bus"

I said, hey Mr. Driver, don't be slow,
'cause I got someplace, I gotta go.
Hey Mr. Driverman, drive that thing fast,
my precious time keeps slippin' past.

Let's call the mayor, lets complain
Look what the city's done to us again.
Looks like somebody forgot about us,
standin' on the corner, waiting for a bus!

ah voyerism... good times
mrmike - 11/30/07 09:08
Not sure, but your tale has ZZ Top's "Waiting for the Bus All Day" playing on my mental IPOD. Thanks

Thanksgiving Pugs
'Cause that's what is most important to give thanks for, right?

I have seen Kirsten in so long now that she's moved down to Little Summer. I miss having her and the pugs and her kitties a couple of doors down and being able to see them at any time.

We went out for lunch then over to her place to hang with the animals. Of course, i took a camera full of pictures. Of course i am going to share some.


The always adorable Ava

Nolan can be so hard to get a good picture of, his fur is so black and shiny

I think having kids has done to Ava what i have heard it can do to humans... pack on a few extra pounds... She used to be so svelte.

image

Kirsten kept one of the 7 babies Ava (and Nolan) had. She named him Taj. I can see the personalities and physical characteristics of both Ava and Nolan in him.

Then, later in the day, i made us a tofurkey... with all the typical turkey fixins -- 'taters and carrots and cranberries.

i think pugs are so ugly they are cute.

i'm totally still speaking to you, (e:imk2) and would love to do lunch. check your email. :O)
jenks - 11/25/07 10:02
hehe, bulldogs have got to be "uglier" than pugs then- but god I love ALL the little smoosh-faced underbite dogs. :D And I missed them on the dog show on thanksgiving! dammit!
metalpeter - 11/24/07 16:10
Pugs are so strange looking. I both agree and disagree with (e:imk2) . First of all they are kinda alien looking but at the same time those big eyes and sad faces are kinda cute. I have seen some adorable pugs. About maybe a week ago I saw someone around where I live walking three of them or at least I think there where 3 of them all together I wasn't that close to them to be sure if they where all pugs or not.
imk2 - 11/24/07 14:06
i am sorry, even though i am a dog person, pugs are like THE ugliest dogs EVER! they look like genetic accidents that dropped out of space. (please send all the hate mail to my gmail account).

Lee, do you want to have lunch or dinner sometime this week? (if you're still speaking to me after this comment)
paul - 11/24/07 11:28
Wow, those dogs are pretty cute and I don't even like dogs. You don't have any tofurky drumsticks in the picture? Do they not come with those anymore.
