For people who like pictures :)

Look how high the mist rises! You can feel that spray from really far away. This pic is taken from our hotel room.

For my vet friends:

Lots of greyhound people use Rescue Remedy--don't know how commonly you guys see it used. They have a new chewable form called "pastilles" that contains xylitol. Evidently the packaging doesn't make that clear (xylitol is listed in the ingredients, but packaging doesn't say not to give to pets). Just a heads up.

Reservation Road (w/Mark Ruffalo and Joaquin Phoenix, not Revolutionary Road w/Kate and Leo): boooooring, OMG so very boring. We watched a bit, then skipped to the end, just to make it stop.

Books 2009

Squee!

1. None to Accompany Me by Nadine Gordimer: I haven't read much about apartheid, and virtually no fiction, so I really enjoyed this book. She has a very different (as in good, not bad) writing style, which was a refreshing change.

2. Peony in Love by Lisa See: I was totally enamored of Snow Flower and the Secret Fan. The other Lisa See books I've read since then have been good, but not great--same with this one. The story is really an interesting concept, but the character development isn't great. And there were just. so. many unbelievable coincidences, even for a fantasy-type novel.

My aunt sent me a letter today addressing me as Ms. Not Mrs., not Dr., but Ms. I love her, she's great, but, huh??

Bolt: soooo cute, loved it

Slumdog Millionaire: excellent movie, loved it!
Charlie Bartlett: cute, worth the time
Married Life: dark comedy; not a bad film, but kind of...odd
Curious Case of Benjamin Button: liked it a lot, worth seeing just for the makeup
Run Fatboy Run: characters aren't super well developed, but pretty funny, made us laugh.

Ooooh, I just figured out my digital camera takes video too!! Expect videos of: fireflies, and Blizzard acting like one of his legs is missing b/c I put--gasp!--a bootie on his sore foot. (This is actually much more amusing than it sounds. At least, the neighbor across the street who saw it happen, thought it was hilarious.)

Go away, Loveseat! You cannot live with me anymore!

At the garage sale, I sold 2 bookshelves, a dresser, and a bunch of smaller stuff. No interest in the loveseat.

After sending out an email to the lowerclassmen, I sold my 4-poster bed frame, 2 tables, lawnmower (much interest in this!) and the dog kennel. No interest in the loveseat.

Ad on craigslist = no interest in the loveseat.

Calling thrift stores to ask about donating it = no interest.

The loveseat has been sitting in my driveway with a FREE sign on it since last night. No interest.

What do I have to do to get RID of this thing?? It's a nice loveseat! Sheesh.

Oh my GOD, Robert Downey Jr. is smokin! After his junkie days, it was a bit surprising to see how good he looks now.

A 102 degree fever is no big deal right? (yeah, rhetorical question)

I had a flu shot this year. This effing sucks. Have barely been out of bed in 2 days.

On the plus side, I am on vacation next week, so at least I won't have to make up a rotation.

I PASSED BOARDS THANK GOD!!!

So I'm sitting in radiology holding a cat, waiting to see what else we need for him. He was kinda squirmy at first, then turns around, looks deeply into my eyes and starts purring. I'm thinking, awwww, we're bonding! So sweet!

Yeah, no. He was peeing on me. That look on his face was a look of relief, not love. :P

Anyone have a good website from which to buy cloth shopping bags?
