No Post Today

See below for details why.

Wednesdays Suck

Looks like it's likely the head gasket in the car, both internal and external. Something like $1000 to fix. They'll still testing so there's a chance we'll get lucky.

Swamped at work and losing ground. Utterly broke. Feeling ill. And our little Idaho didn't eat anything all day yesterday. Our seven-year piggie may be fading.

I hate today.

Again with the car

Had to take the car to the mechanic again this morning. Was stalling out and the temperature gauge was all over the map. Grumble. We cannot afford more car repairs at this time.

Weird

Yesterday's post disappeared. It's back, but... weird...

Animal Fear

This has not been a good month for pets. Pretty rough in fact in that we nearly lost a couple of them.

P.S. Important request at the end of the entry.

Going To The Mattresses

There are some changes in the world of Beddy-Bye Time. Good changes.

Water Chimes

No room on your nighttable for both an alarm clock and a glass of water? How about an alarm clock coaster that taps a water glass like a bell when it's time to get up?

Ingenious.

Curse Your Sudden But Inevitable Betrayal

It's up! What exactly I thought of Serenity and Joss Whedon's issues.

It's spoiler-iffic, so don't read it unless you've seen the movie. Unless you don't care, in which case, go right ahead.

Changes

Swapped a few things around to make it easier to update the style of this place. It was looking kind of bland.

Good Dog

Just got word from my folks that Nikko, the dog they've had since around the time I moved out passed away yesterday.

Nikko was, in every way, a very good dog.

Shining

This is awesome. Someone has taken scenes from The Shining and remixed it as a family comedy. (Link goes straight to trailer.)

Drat

Nicolas Cage stole my idea.

Shivers

Just listened to 'Live This Life' by Big & Rich for the first time.

Never expected something that powerful from the guys who brought us 'Save a Horse (Ride a Cowboy)'.
