He Wore Electric Boots And Mohair Suits…<\/b><\/p>\n

Just a little aside: You’ve gotta hand it to those cardinals. Nowhere does it say that they absolutely need to elect a pope who’ll stick around for decades. Just select an old guy and he’ll be gone soon enough. Nice trick.<\/p>\n

[fuzzy transition alert<\/i>]<\/p>\n

I’m almost forty myself, you know, but every time I would try to anticipate where I’d be by now it certainly wasn’t here. Hopping around from place to place like a bullfrog on the brown acid? This is getting ridiculous. What’s more, the roommate dramas are driving me completely insane. Roommates! Ladies and gentlemen, I’m convinced that the reason you grow up is to not have roommates. Who needs the grief?<\/p>\n

At the moment, I’m outside. Why? Two of my roommates had plans this evening that were crushed and have gone to bed upstairs. My other roommate is having friends over to watch The O.C. downstairs. Need I say more? I thought not.<\/p>\n

Certain pups and I will be heading to the desert this weekend. Unfortunately, I spilled the beans about my trip to my Mom. That was only a bad idea because everyone had (sorta, kinda, not really) warned me against talking about it, especially since they’re trying to throw a surprise party for her to celebrate her retirement from the school district as well as her birthday next week. My big mouth gets me into trouble again.<\/p>\n

Geez, I’m depressed. How about some happy snaps?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Exhibit A: Notice the standard-issue, regulation cinder block that I upturned. Please also note the habitants of one of the holes.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Exhibit B: A close-up view of one of the inhabitants. Yes friends, that’s a big freakin’ only-Photoshopped-to-bring-out-the-detail ant (there’s a trend going on here. are you sure you didn’t buy a cabin on the bikini atoll? – ed<\/i> Or strange gene mutation experiments in a rural mountain community? Where’s Vincent Price when you need him? – bob). Eeeek!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Exhibit C: More freakishness. Where did the red flowers come from? They weren’t there last weekend.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Exhibit C, Section b: Look at the frilly petals, won’t you? That just ain’t right neither. Plain and simple weird.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Exhibit D: In spite of all of this, the evil government scientists haven’t managed to shrink my Dad. He just built up the wood pile to unholy heights. I suspect we’re going to get a great big headache if that mess falls.<\/p>\n

Your humbled by the sheer magnitude of it all pal,<\/p>\n
