It’s now a menagerie

I didn’t plan on it, but yesterday I added a pet to my growing animal collection…A little puppy named Bear.  So far the kitties are tolerating him as you can see in this picture. Scroll down for more.

Doesnt sound too appetizing

I saw this at the grocery store yesterday. Apparently it is a common item in the U.K. But here it just seems wrong.

PC Load Letter!?

Thanks to hackers, it has come to this. Windows 7 has to ask me if I trust my printer:
021010
Well, I’m not sure if I trust my printer. It’s never stolen my money before, or verbally abused me. But it does run out of ink suspiciously fast, so maybe it’s cheating on me with some other user!?  I’m just so conflicted.

Cat Tower of Babel

I got bored over Thanksgiving weekend and built an “addition” to the cat tower. The cats were getting so big, they both couldn’t fit on the little top of the original tower anymore. The light-colored carpet is the original store-bought tower. I built the entire dark-carpet side from scratch. Overboard? Maybe. But they love it.

What is Google up to?

Google has a feature where it will automatically guess the search you are trying to make as you type in words. Well I simply typed the word “why” in the Google search box, and look at the results. Is Google playing a little practical joke on us? Try it out for yourself!

Kitties!

Two kitties have been added to the household! Welcome Mowgly and Kuma. Mowgly is a twist on the Jungle Book name and Kuma is a star in the Draco constellation. Here they are in action:

Mowgly fresh out of her box. She didn't come with an instruction manual.

Kuma is looking up fascinated at the fish tank. I think that tank will cause years of scheming.

Art for those who are bad at math

Maybe I should start a new artistic photographic series. I call this one: Futility

Has no one noticed this?

I was in the bookstore recently and not only did I see, as I mentioned on Twitter, a book with the title “Doggy Day Care Murders” (????) But I also saw two books with VERY different topics, but with one infringement-level similarity. What’s next, Twilight: The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe?

Sour Cream-Chocolate Cake with Peanut Butter Cream Cheese Frosting and Chocolate-Peanut Butter Glaze…Out of breath saying all that

We celebrated Joshua”s birthday today and I made a cake for the party. It is the most complicated cake I’ve ever made, because it was entirely from scratch. It took me a total of 4 hours to get it all done. It’s quite delicious (probably because it has 7.5 cups of sugar in there).
