Welcome
by Denise Sawicki on August 1, 2006

Not a lot happens in my life that I feel I can talk about publicly! There's my work, but we all know you can't talk about that. We're involved in a politcal thing that, if life were like an episode of Monk, would surely get us all killed. There's people in my thoughts who wouldn't want me mentioning them.

Therefore, here is a picture of a sheltie!



Also, I am mildly curious today about the fate of numberonemusic.com. I always kind of figured it was a scam, and now it's been missing for two days. My husband's band had a site up there. We gave them money. Oh well. It was a small price to pay for a couple months of him feeling that his band actually had fans. I feel it *should* have fans, but that is just me.

Great. I've been looking for that shirt ever since I visited.

I hope you didn't give too much money to the other site. Maybe they're about to launch a new site too? Probably not.

Well, the site is back I guess. I still think it's fake. When you post questions on their forum that seem to hint at the fakeness of the whole thing, they delete the questions. Now the forum itself is missing. Maybe it'll come back too. *shrug*

That's my shirt, silly... I was surprised Phil looked so handsome in a human shirt. He's pretty small.

Sorry about that extra tall image

Sorry I screwed up the obsessions page with that tall image. But it is true, I have a new obsession. Gee... Go »

Writing frightening verse to a buck-toothed girl in Luxembourg

The identity of my birthday RB card will be public soon enough, I'm sure, so I figured I'd write a little about it. I won't state its identity outright, in hopes that I can encourage anyone who's not familiar to click the link :P. First, I didn't know a "wimpy" band could wind up ranking quite so high. Go »

Armplay

So, It seems like our frequent thunderstorms have programmed me to become wide awake at bizarre times even when there isn't a storm. I am definitely going back to bed. First I wanted to comment on a strange trend in anime. Go »

Weather - the most boring conversational topic?!?

Well, perhaps not if you live in ND, I dunno. There's snow on the ground *and* dandelions in the lawn right now. That's a first, at least in my memory. Go »

Our dog is smart

Our sheltie, Philip, is really smart. Here is his latest Oscar-worthy film, where he shows off his ability to mimic Darrell doing the following actions: turn a circle, stretch, sneeze, lie down, roll over (partway), hop, and speak: link Philip also knows how to read a few words, kind of, though I think he gets bored with it :-). Currently he's in school for agility, which entails learning how to run around a course jumping hurdles and using tunnels and seesaws in a prescribed manner. Go »
