YouTube experiment...

Just seeing if this'll work...





Okay. Now that I have figured out how to post the video without the link, I've edited my past posts with YouTube links! Enjoy!

The Muppets At Their Finest...

This YouTube video of a Muppet Show skit cracks me up. It's especially funny if you love The Muppets, and find the Swedish Chef, Animal and Beaker to be absolutely hilarious!

A Comfy New Pet Bed

So, the dogs got a new pet bed. I took a photo of Smiles lounging on it, but it was too dark, so I'll try again tomorrow when there's better lighting. Smiles loves it - she looks like a queen, laying on it as if it belongs to her, and her only.

So, in the last post, I mentioned Jesse Blaze Snider. For those who don't recognize the name, he's the son of Twisted Sister's Dee Snider. He's on a show called Rock the Cradle - basically, the kids of musicians have a shot at a record deal and prize money. Here he is doing an awesome cover of Led Zeppelin's Rock & Roll...




Now, I'm pretty picky about cover songs, but if Robert Plant himself had been there, I think he might've gone up on that stage and shaked Jesse's hand! Let me know what you folks think of his performance!

I REALLY Don't Like Mondays...

I'll try to put this delicately - I have, er, woman's problems. Cramps, to be exact. I woke up this morning thinking that I had gas, but I didn't. Ugh. I feel incredibly sluggish today. So far, I've only managed to read a few pages of Howl's Moving Castle and finish a square for my swatch scarf.

Maybe watching Jesse Blaze Snider on YouTube can cheer me up....

Of Mice and Money

Meet Mouse. She's my adorable kitty who doubles as a mouse hunter. Yesterday afternoon, my mom went in the cellar and Mouse followed her in and caught a mouse. Our Jack Russell Terrier, Smiles, tried to help. We had to chase all of the dogs upstairs so that they wouldn't eat Mouse's catch. But she doesn't always eat the mice she catches... she likes to play with them, much like our old cat. When I went back downstairs later that afternoon, she started meowing at me because she managed to lose her 'toy'. So that little creature is still around the house somewhere...

Also that afternoon, I started erasing these envelopes that my dad uses for stamps. He told me that he'd pay me for erasing the pencil off of them. So I was erasing all the way through Top Gear and two episodes of Fraiser, and I finished the lot that evening, during John Adams. That reminds me, Ronnie Wood was on Top Gear... pretty cool, if you ask me.
