The Noise
Listen up. If you SERIOUSLY think that only one voice in the choir has been singing the song, then you just haven't been listening to the music.
It's been ringing from the rafters for years.

Wanted: A Bed
We need a spare bed. Right now, it's for a refuge for either of us until we get this whole snoring/hypersensitivity/sleeplessness thing under control. Later, a guest bed perhaps, but we really need to have a decent alternative until then. The sofa bed is AWFUL.
Of course, we ain't got any money, so if anyone knows someone with a surplus bed (twin, double, whatever. So long as I can fit my 6' body into it), please let us know.
No Words
The reason I didn't post this week was because I was fighting off bacterial pneumonia -- fluid in the lungs is not your friend.
No good reason for missing last week.

BARF
So I didn't know this, but PetGirl told me to today about this raw food diet for dogs composed BARF which stand for, variously, "Biologically Appropriate Raw Food", "Bones And Raw Food" or "Bones and Raw Flesh", depending on who you speak to. BARF contains meat, bones, offal (tripe, liver, etc.), vegetables, herbs, fruit, etc., like wild dogs would eat. BARF is hotly debated among breeders and veterinarians -- you either are in favour of BARF or against BARF. No one seems to be ambivalent about BARF.
Some people make their own BARF and feed it to their pets, and others buy pre-packaged BARF, pre-mixed with all the primary BARF ingredients. When BARFing your pet, you have to be very careful to be sure it is properly balanced BARF, but there is lots of information available on the web to make sure your BARF contains everything it should.
The real joke here is that this is how BARF enthusiasts actually talk about BARF.

A wonderful set of basic tips on how to write well. I may even use one or two of them. Especially #6. Oy. Do I ever break #6...

Less is More
Truly amazing. Did you know that if you remove Garfield's thought bubbles from his comic, then it becomes way funnier and more surreal? It's being discussed and displayed in detail over here.

A Present!
A present for Ronja! The Art of the Catapult.
And if she wants something more...bombastic, get her this.
Desk crap
Testing out the quality and resolution of my camera phone pictures.
Snow and blue
It was snowing when I took this shot. Guess the phone isn't good enough to pick it out...

The Lure of the Young
Thoughts on a recent conviction of an old school mate for sexual exploitation. I don't know if I made my point clearly, but it's there for your reading. Feel free to discuss amongst yourselves.

Dinner and a Drink
For people not satisfied with just having a waterbowl for your cats with a little waterfall and filter to keep things fresh, now they have one with a little basket to grow 'pet grass' in, if your cats are into that sort of thing.
Puppies!
Cute little puppies we saw at the pet store. We wanted to bring them home.
Brokeback to the Future
I love the trend of people re-editing movies and trailers to fit entirely different themes and plots. The latest? Brokeback to the Future.

Question
What exactly is the purpose of having two kinds of yoghourt? You can pick from fruit-on-the-bottom and stirred. Seriously, does anyone open a fruit-on-the-bottom cup and NOT stir it up?
Also, what's with the spelling? The Free Dictionary lists it as yogurt, yoghurt and yoghourt. And the particular brand of fruit-on-the-bottom low fat raspberry I'm consuming at the moment spells it as yogourt. The hell?
What? No, I've got plenty of work to do. What are you talking about?

Disturbing Dream
Details on a disturbing dream I had last night. Comments on my sanity will be deleted. Unless they are funny.
