Miscellaneous Monday

Monday, June 25, 2012
So the Boogie Dog's energy is slowly coming back. He's still not as strong as he was before his anesthesia, and he's not walking as far in the morning, but he wants to go, and he has spurts of energy at various points during the day. As my friend Sarah notes, "Dogs really only know now, so the best thing we can do is make sure that now is happy and full of love." I can do that.

It feels like my entire state is on fire. The smoke and ash is now thick across the Front Range, and you can no longer see the mountains through the haze. The firefighters, however, continue to fight the blaze, risking life, limb and career to keep others safe. You'd think the infrastructure would then offer them, oh, I don't know, health insurance. But you'd be wrong. That's some shameful shit right there.

I'm almost ready to make an announcement surrounding the SOOPER SEKRET PROJEKT - probably later this week. I just KNOW you all are on pins and needles. Or not.

I try to be an informed citizen. I listen to political podcasts. I read the news. I try to keep abreast of the shenanigans those crazy Congress critters are up to. But I'm tempted, OH SO VERY TEMPTED, to unsubscribe from all that shit until the Presidential election is over. Lying sacks of shit, every one.

Don't forget to log your reading on the Hot Chicks and Smart Men Read page for a chance to win an Amazon gift card and to force me to donate the big bucks to our local library. READING IS FUNDAMENTAL.

Glad to hear Boogie's energy level is coming back.
I just commented to someone else that very same thing about the fires.
SOOPER SEKRET PROJEKT - YAY!
I'm so tired of the ads already. It's only June!
Thanks again for doing HCSM Read. I should find something to keep my mind occupied when not at work.
Listening to pretty cool music courtesy of SmartMan - only saving grace of this day so far.

Meow meow, Boogie, Mrrrrp (from Gray Kitty. I have no idea what she said)
I have had to tune in to something else in the morning. The news is just too much. Graham Norton anyone?
Bah, Monday at work.
Mechanicky Guy is having interesting adventures in Bahrain, will it continue? Tune in to find out (basically that means that they haven't paid him full per diem, so he may be coming home sooner than expected.)

Scritches to Boogie.

Um. Crap. I already forgot what else I was going to say. It is SO MONDAY around here.

Oh, right. Politics. I declared that I was only going to get my political news from West Wing reruns until after the election. I haven't managed to stick to that, of course, but my blood pressure is so much better when I do. There are so many people I want to drop off a cliff that they'd be cushioning each other by about halfway through.

Glad to hear Boogie is a bit better. He's such a sweet lug.

And now Phiala's post makes me miss The West Wing. Damn, that was a good show.

Any candidate with the word “incumbent” after their name will not be getting my vote. What is that song by the “Who” about the new boss being the same as old boss?
