Doggy Blogging

Akubi explores the sand dunes.

Tanuki eagerly awaits dinner.
When this was taken last week Tanuki couldn't wait for dinner, but he's been really sick to his stomach and throwing up the past couple of days. While still not his old self, he had an appetite this morning and has stopped vomiting. I'm hoping he'll be feeling better when I get home this evening.

UPDATE!
Tanuki is feeling better! I didn't return home to vomit everwhere.

Also, I thought Casey would appreciate these sequined shirts...
Akubi can't stand wearing his yet Tanuki feels super special when he's sporting his sequins.

Spring cleaning with funny dogs

Akubi and Tanuki have fun. Note: Under no circumstance EVER should you say anything that is derogatory towards dogs, critical of spoiling dogs, or that they are not full members of society who deserve the same rights as humans.

While sorting through my dusty allergy-inducing closet I discovered a ton of priceless vintage items shoved here and there and not well cared for.

And then while boxing it up by category, I was thinking this Stuff White People Like guy really makes me feel like a walking stereotype. I thought I was f-ing unique!!!

Bizarre NH Debate Photo

This NYT photo (Doug Mills) is a classic. After nearly falling asleep during the Republican debates I'm trying to pay attention to the Democrats now.
Unrelated: If anyone has any insight on Section 228(e) of the Delaware General Corporation Law, I'd be interested

Biding my time biting my mouth

Bite Til It Bleeds by *PeppermintStripe

Warning this is a boring post for no purpose other than to vent about biting my mouth today.

That's about how my mouth looks at the moment, but I'm not wearing lipstick - just blood. I bit my right cheek during lunch and it bled and continued to swell to the point that I keep biting on the same fucking place over and over again (jaw clenching/teeth grinding problem) and it is driving me fucking crazy. I keep washing my mouth with Listerene and spitting up blood to the alarm of my dogs.
Maybe I should take a Rozerem and go to sleep with an ice pack before doing further harm.

Box Ignore Mode Update

Boring topic, but that is exactly why I remain in box/pile ignore mode. When left alone my piles of crap replicate among themselves hence this embarrassing realization. While I think it is far more important to vote for the 6 Degrees of Casey Serin to Dick Cheney winner, I'm posting this as a form of accountability of sorts.
The white bag is empty. I was just using it for recyclables like outdated technical books.

Perhaps this photo doesn't fully highlight the accomplishments of the day.

Found this late 19th Century Goethe "coffee table" book in the process.



Akubi suckling his favorite stuffed Pomeranian.


P.S. While I couldn't give a rat's ass what my Technorati rating is, watching the steadily dropping number reminds me of the dollar.

Pile Ignore Mode Progress Report

11/11/07 UPDATE!
Pile ingore mode returned. This is my office.

I don't even want to use that George W. toilet paper, but I don't know what else to do with it.

Dining room as of the morning of November 11.
Kind of pathetic when I came compare it to the August 28 photos. Since then I believe new boxes arrived from somewhere, because I eliminated two of them yesterday.

UPDATE: Intriguing taxidermy art discovered via Morbid Anatomy.
The image on the left is the artist, Sarina Brewer.

This is my dining room.
Haven't bothered with dusting yet, but this is my office previously featured with tons of crap here and there.
This is an amusing Bacchus Behave! suggestion...

My old books aren't in good shape, but they also aren't in nearly as bad shape as I feared...

More intriguing NSFW imagery can be found at Zillow Book.

Too Much Stuff

Breaking News Flash (update)!
Funny finds in one of the boxes:
As I understand it my dad really fell for the Burgundy Meat Loaf featured in Saucepans and the Single Girl. Bacchus Behave! was one of my grandmother's books (background story unknown).

One can still easily find the page of the favorite recipe since it's the only one with sauce or something all over it...

So they don't harm the books, my boys have been spending their time on the bed with their favorite stuffed animals.

While the cooking/cocktail books with family ties make some sense to keep, WTF was I thinking when I decided to pack a box of old Wired magazines and shit....? To the dump it goes. Woohoo!

This is my dining room.

This is my "office".

Having been recently reacquainted with boxes of crap I don't know what to do with (see dining room photo above) and would rather not bother with, I thought I would document it here so as to be held virtually accountable for pile management. Yes, it is boring blogging, but very few blogs aren’t boring. As you can see from the “office” photo on the left, I already had some pile ignore mode issues when I was presented with the latest re-additions. Anyway, I know there are (or were) some old first editions in one of the boxes, but I’ll have to go through all the others to find them. Unfortunately, they are mislabeled. I shall document my progress on this exciting venture.
