ZOMG, you just brought back such a vivid memory… I used to spend weeks at a time at my cousins’ house in rural Illinois, and they had a set of shitty plastic Dukes of Hazzard binoculars; we used to hang off the big metal swingset and look through the binocs and be all “YOU GUYS, IT’S BO AND LUKE COMING TO SAVE US!” And my cousin Sandy and I would end up in fistfights over who got to be saved by the cute one (I don’t remember anymore who we thought was the cute one).
HA! That would be the best name for a band. Also, I think my brother had that pillowcase, but I know for sure he did NOT have the washing mitt. That’s just wrong!
Oh, I just saw an episode of The Graham Norton Show (a rerun, I’m pretty sure) where he had Bo, Luke, and Daisy (only with, you know, real names) on talking about the show and life after the show, etc. He had some superfans (apparently it was just as popular in Europe. Who knew?) on and a couple of them showed off their collections of stuff. (One of them had this guitar, still in the packaging.) Apparently, not only did they put “Daisy Duke’s heaving bosoms” on guitars they were also on a pillowcase and a “washing mitt.” So, Daisy was on a washcloth that goes over your hand like a glove. Yeah, you see where I’m going with this.
Also, when I start a band, I’m calling it Daisy Duke’s Heaving Bosoms.
Oh girl, I cannot believe they didn’t go buck wild with this challenge. Hell, half of Chris March’s designs last season would have been better suited for this episode than half the stuff these designers put out. Why they didn’t go balls to the wall with this one is beyond me.
Also, how awesome was it when Ru Paul put Keith in his place? He is so getting on my nerves.
Re: Keith and Kenley’s drag queen designs, who on earth is so uncreative that in their heads, drag queen = Cruella DeVille? I have used a sewing machine exactly one time in my life, but if someone gave me this task, I’d be THA-RILLED. I’d pull out every yard of iridescent Dupioni silk I could get my hands on and go to TOWN.

About Me
vegan. teacher. opinionated. loves books, shoes, hanson, ‘the amazing race’, the 80s, ‘waiting for guffman’, mid-afternoon naps, musicals and breakfast cereal. four cats. one redhead. hi.
I don’t think I can say it enough. I love Ikea. With the exception of about three things, our entire house is has been furnished by the good company of Sweden. Some of my favorite new purchases include this lamp and these chairs. In red, of course.
I bought this book: Beginning CSS Web Development: From Novice to Professional by Simon Collison with a gift card over the summer. It’s fantastic! I am a complete novice with this sort of thing, but I’m learning quickly thanks to this book. Thanks to Collison, I’ll never forget to top center my background image again.
If you like playing with color and color palettes, you’ll love this site - Colour Lovers. I’m playing with a blog redesign right now and it’s the perfect place to create a palette. Fun!
Linus is doing GREAT. He’s happy and calm and peeing where he’s supposed to be peeing. Emmett’s slowly learning that the moment he chases or pounces on Linus, he goes into iso. And the Smoosh is her general ornery self (except at treat-time).
Ariel, on the other hand? Not so great.
You know those big soaking tubs that people like to have in the corner of their bathrooms nowadays? Well, we have one of those. I hate it. I never use it and it’s a giant pain in the ass to clean. And I find myself having to clean it quite frequently because ARIEL HAS DECIDED TO START POOPING IN IT. We thought it might have been a one-time thing, but no. And when we closed the door to our bathroom, she just went on over to the other bathroom and pooped in that tub, instead.
And to make matters worse (I can’t believe I’m about to tell this to the internets), Tony found pee in...are you ready for this?… THE HEATING VENT today. Can you imagine how lovely that smelled when the heat kicked in? (Yes, it was hailing today.) Tony was shoulder-deep, cleaning ductwork, after proclaiming to me that he’d lost the will to live. Now, this isn’t the first time that’s happened, but it’s the first time in a LONG time. So peeing in the vent no longer qualifies as a one-time event, it now qualifies as a g.d. crisis. This weekend I’m going to try one more thing - changing Ariel’s litter and leaving her in the bedroom to chill for a few days (bathroom door closed) to see if she uses the litterbox for her business - and then it’s another freaking trip to the vet.
In the last year, I think it’s safe to say we’ve spent close to 2500 dollars on caring for our cats. Between regular checkups, Ariel’s bladder stone surgery, and The Big Pee Crisis of ‘08, that’s a pretty fair estimate.
Yep, that’s it for now. I’ve not lost my patience yet, but I’ve most certainly lost my mind.
That is crazy!. Can’t they all just get along? I have just adopted a 1yr male-white with orange tiger stripes named Butterscotch (which I hate cause it is not a “guy” name) Im calling him Butty, but we are trying to come up with a masculine variation of his name cause I think he knows it. Any suggestions? I also have chaos in the house with this cat sequestered in a room trying to slowly introduce him to my 15yr old Ellie. Ellie keeps hissing and growling, but Butty could care less. He is such a love munch- you can anything to this cat.

Our newest male, Abner, was fixed. The spraying has stopped. However, we still have that pesky female stray outside that wants to help Abner find his “manhood” and she is spraying all over our yard and front porch. How abouts I box her up and sned her to kitty boot camp? Just teasing, luv!
Oh god, this is awful. The heating vent? I’ve never even heard of such a thing (in terms of it being a peeing hotspot). I am so very, very sorry about this whole ceaseless nightmare.
