Fridge Poet.

Whatever some of them might tell you, even girls can be pretty gutter-minded sometimes…

If you don’t believe me, just check out this wonderful poem, as written by young Heloise before leaving for rainier shores.

Shocker.

Our nice dog.

Successfully kept the wolf from the door for another week, no help from young George with that, maybe I can teach him how to use Photoshop and Dreamweaver, and he can learn to pay his own way rather than just pissing on the floor.

He decided tonight that he used to like it when he slept on my lap, thing is he is now way too big for that sort of thing, but he insisted, and he’s also now too big to refuse.

Click it for a nice big shot of me and George at my desk, taken candidly by young Girlgeek.

Bethels Lake

Happy Dog!Girlgeek took the boys (Wataki, Trixie, Monkey & George) out to Bethels Lake yesterday, was fun0r.

The fatties (Trixie & Monkey) slid up and down the dunes on their bellies while the skinnies (Girlgeek & Wataki) lay around, read books, and ate fine, uh, sausages & bread, and drank fine, uh, coca-cola.

I’ve got more pictures, but this one will have to do for now, maybe the others will be up as a gallery.

Kiddy fiddler.

Beard.So, I was going to try to grow out a full beard, but I’m now under strict instructions that I must tidy up (eg. shave) before our little dinner outing this evening, which will set me back about 2 weeks. Ahh well. Maybe I can give myself a nice child-molester mustache or something, teach her a lesson not to trifle with me.

*gets whacked in the back of the head*

Or not.

Our tiny little boy what are bad.

George is both much much better, and much much worse. He’s learning not to jump up so much, and he’s playing much nicer. But he’s also been going into the bin a lot (daily, sometimes more) and ruining a lot of Claire’s nice stuff.

It’s a bit hard to reconcile the good little baby boy with the naughty little bad puppy… He only ever does the bad stuff when we’re out.

One of the problems with being so outrageously intelligent is holding two or more apparently contradictory positions on a single issue.

So, I was thinking tonight, in reference to something I was thinking about a few days ago, and realised that I have some pretty serious ethical problems with eating meat… I mean, taking another life, just for a meal, it simply isn’t necessary.

Not going to stop, though, it is delicious… But it might force me to eventually. Who can say.

Lastly, I’m sick of getting my arse kicked, so please stop.

Newton MessagePad

I’ve recently acquired an old Newton MessagePad to play with, built a serial cable adapter to connect it to my workstation… Details are here. BTW, you don’t give a damn about this unless you have a Newton yourself, so don’t bother, there aren’t any jokes or anything.
