Tot Loves The Dog Whisperer
This is just too funny to save for next Friday. Tater Tot LOVES watching the Dog Whisperer on National Geographic. He is truly mesmerized. At one point he was standing up and watching. His head bobs around with the action.

Legalized Dope in a Squirt Bottle
Well, not quite that much fun but almost!
I can't even look at this without salivating like a dog.

You Should Learn When to Say No
Start two at once and allow for a several second delay. Have fun! That's why we're all here.
Stiff Love
I've had the Stiff Little Fingers LP Inflammable Material since Reagan's first term in office. It was given a prominent placement in the John Cusack film High Fidelity with the inevitable punch line delivered by a character in the film: "Is that the new Green Day?"
That cracks me up and is just a small part of what I love about that entire film. I dragged the LP out last night for a SWD (spinning while drunk) and was amazed all over again. Thanks to YouTube, I've now seen video of the band for the first time ever. I don't think I had ever seen pictures of the band, much less video! And it snags my jeans with barbed wire love. God, 1979 was a great year.

Another Perspective
This is Nancy Pelosi's breastplate next to Obama's ear.
Aqualung my friend. Where the livin' don't come easy.
Aqualung my friend. Where the livin' don't come easy.
Sitting on a park bench
eyeing little girls with bad intent.
Snot running down his nose
greasy fingers smearing shabby clothes.
Drying in the cold sun
Watching as the frilly panties run.
Feeling like a dead duck
spitting out pieces of his broken luck.
Sun streaking cold
an old man wandering lonely.
Taking time
the only way he knows.
Leg hurting bad,
as he bends to pick a dog-end
he goes down to the bog
and warms his feet.
Feeling alone
the army's up the rode
salvation à la mode and
a cup of tea.
Aqualung my friend
don't start away uneasy
you poor old sod, you see, it's only me.
Do you still remember
December's foggy freeze
when the ice that
clings on to your beard is
screaming agony.
And you snatch your rattling last breaths
with deep-sea-diver sounds,
and the flowers bloom like
madness in the spring.

Have a Fat One
Happy Fat Tuesday! I have the appropriate beads which also serve a function. I got this at a friend's birthday party a few years ago. And I did use the shot glass and I did get shitfaced.
Back when we had the tiles installed in the kitchen we couldn't use the kitchen overnight while the glue was drying. I couldn't get in there to fetch my shot glass so we used this one which I keep hanging on a wall in the office.

Various Marketing Bullshit
If you are going to sell your soul, music and/or reputation to a car company for advertising, you'd better be fucking driving that Hyundai and loving the shit out of it.
Yo-Yo Ma.
Billy Corgan.
I'm talkin' to the both of you.
And who the fuck drives a car like that anyway?

Quote of the Day
"Let's go dumplify."
--Guy Fieri
Aerodynamics!
I always wondered how that
Case closed.
Just make it
Just make it righteous.
The Virtual Outhouse Is Open!
God, is it REALLY Friday? And speaking of having a dump, I had to dump about $300,000 down the toilet today. Not literally of course. That's advertising speak for um... removing a client from the waves of air for whatever reason.
Drink up, and toast the last week of February! About all I can say is, thank God it's not leap year. I couldn't handle an extra day in this month.
Rock Out graphic via Nicole. ((((((HUG)))))) It just fits my mood precisely.
Friday Pussy Blog: The Supervisor Tot Edition
It's everyone's favorite supervisor in the office space. Tater Tot!
"HEY!!! Put down that camera and get back to work."
But on Friday afternoons, the supervisor tends to take life a little easy. Catching some rays.
A little closer...
OOPS! Caught me.
"HEY!!! Put down that camera and get back to work."

Whole Foods Must Miss My Whole Paycheck
There are two things I miss about going downtown to work: the people and Whole Foods being across the street from the agency where I worked. As for the people, well I've got the best of that lot as friends on Facebook. Not quite the same as seeing them everyday but it works.
No longer having easy access to Whole Foods is a pain sometimes. And I'll bet they miss me too.
In 2007 when I worked for almost 11 months of the year downtown, I spent $1,740.14 there.
Contrast that with 2008 when I only worked downtown for less than 10 weeks and spent $303.46.
And in 2009 so far? $0.00
And several hundred people were laid off from the agency in 2007. That's gotta hurt.

Kona The Gardener
February has been much warmer than usual and it has my spring fever popping out all over. Last weekend I cleared out this area outside the kitchen. There was an enormous rosemary which had engulfed a rather large Mexican oregano, killed that off, and only a few of those cactus pads could be seen peeking out from the rosemary.
A few months ago I removed a large oleander which was against the kitchen window. That was a major chore requiring a chainsaw to fully put it to rest. Now I want to create something nice in this area, and maybe add a place to sit, a bench perhaps, surrounded by flowers.
I needed to get quite a bit of compost to amend the soil so this afternoon we loaded up the Benz and trucked over to Natural Gardener to self-bag some turkey compost. A pickup truck would be ideal for these types of chores but I laughingly refer to the 1996 Mercedes as my "utility truck."
I can get six bags in the trunk and four in the back seat for a grand total of 10 bags. Not bad!
That's about 700 pounds of composted turkey poop, give or take 50 pounds.
The funny thing is, the car actually drives better with 700 pounds of compost in it. But that would be silly to drive around with that load, and not very fuel efficient.
That white bag in the trunk is a 20-pound bag of seed starter mix. I used all but a pound or two to get six different varieties of heirloom tomato seeds planted. If I get decent germination from those seeds (they are 2 or 3 years old) then I may need to plant some of them in this patio bed. We'll have far too many for the garden area.
Each row is a different heirloom, identified by the package at the end of the row.
I am excited and pleased with my productivity. So, how did you spend your Sunday afternoon?

Red Guitar
Japan are probably one of my favorite bands of all time, so be nice.
David Sylvian, in particular. Is holding a special place.
kona's saturday night austin tour
i'm not sure why I do my saturday night austin tour post title in lower case but that's the way it is and i am a man of tradition.
but this this a funny story. when i first started my facebook page i got a friend request from a few people here in austin. i had no idea who they are but i added them. networking and shit. a year later (now) i was pondering whether to delete them and just keep real friends. and then i was reading today's austin chronicle and saw an ad (from waterloo records probably) with a new release from randy weeks.
so i decided to feature a couple of youtube videos tonight of a couple of facebook friends. it's austin, ya'll.
And finally, Carolyn Wonderland, who happens to be playing a gig in Osaka this weekend. She didn't send me a friend request. But I just sent her one. Why not? And she's friends with Randy Weeks and Sick's Pack.
