Actually, I made myself a pre-dinner breakfast burrito (never go to eat Korean food when you’re starving and on a limited budget), and Nate Dogg was giving me precious moment eyes:
And since I had dropped a tortilla on the floor and didn’t finish the eggs, I made him a little mini-doggie burrito (I never said I wasn’t weird):
Yum:
He won’t eat the tomato though. Dogg has a knack for picking around vegetables. Sort of like I do:
Oh, and here’s a photo of what a meeting between Nate Dogg and Tunch might look like (I was catsitting for my friend — the Tunch-esque cat is Chairman Meow (we just call him “Chairman”) and the grey kitty is Lychee):
This photo is what I imagine a kitty version of The Shining might look like:
FIN.

Chairman Meow… awesome.

BTW, I’m not liking them floors.. maybe a rug or something to kind of break that pattern.

Those kitties look like they are going to do some damage to that dog! I have two Maine Coons, they are brothers and they line up and stare. It is very intimidating.

Oh sure you have a black and white patterned floors, you multicultural fool…lol. Down with integration…!
Seriously though, cute pics and the “shining” kitties are very creepy. Are they giving the dog the evil eye?

When my pooch was with us and I made scrambled eggs I’d have to throw an extra egg into the skillet for her or I’d get the “you will feel guilty” stare from her.

Nothing weird about doggie burritos; I used to do that sort of thing for my dog all the time. Which, naturally, led to a very spoiled dog and a well-trained human.

Please tell us that that floor is new, and is supposed to be retro and ironic. I’d hate to think you’re living in a place where the kitchen hasn’t been updated since 1957.

On Sunday morning I make omelets. Doglius knows he’ll get the egg particles and cheese residue from the pan so he’s very patient with me. My wife slips him bits of buttered toast when I’m not looking but I pretend not to know.

Oh my! This is the best post I’ve read in days!

Thanks ABL. This is great! :)

It’s a doozy. Cards tied it up with two outs in the 9th.

@Mnemosyne: Our cat, Mango, loves to play fetch — but only with my hairbands. Sometimes when I take one off and put it next to me on the couch he will jump up and stare at it and then look at me like “hey, dumbass, throw it for me”. The dogs aren’t interested in the least.
The only problem is that I can never find one when I need one, we are getting ready to pack the house up for a move and we are all anticipating finding his hairband “mother lode”. Silly cat.

@Tissue Thin Pseudonym (JMN): Jack Conolly is still learning his new linemates, they are starting to gell now and will only get better. The freshman Herbert is really good.

Okay, can someone tell me why LaRussa pinch hit Edwin Jackson for Jason Motte, and then pinch hit Kyle Lohse for Jackson without the Rangers changing pitchers? I get using a starter to sacrifice instead of the reliever, but not using two of them.
Cat Lady
@Tissue Thin Pseudonym (JMN):
Good. It’s a nailbiter, and I don’t even give a shit who wins.
Cat Lady
@Tissue Thin Pseudonym (JMN):
We’ll find out tomorrow that he thought Lohse was someone else.
Tissue Thin Pseudonym (JMN)
What happened to Holliday? Did LaRussa lose his cell number? If you’re a Cards fan, you should have much preferred to have Allen Craig pinch hit for Motte rather than wasting an out on the sacrifice.
S. cerevisiae
Wow, just wow. Tied again.
Tissue Thin Pseudonym (JMN)
Do any of these Texas pitchers want to get a save? Or are they only interested in a win?
4jkb4ia
@Tissue Thin Pseudonym (JMN):
Out with a bruised finger from getting called out on the bases.
Tissue Thin Pseudonym (JMN)
I don’t like Texas getting only one out from Scott Feldman, as big as it was. It means that when they score, the guy on the mound will be trying for a save again.

SD is nice, particularly if you are planning on remaining downtown. Outside of that the traffic is atrocious, even compared to OC.
Even though I grew up in NYC, I don’t much care for LA. It’s close to being a decent city and yet not close enough to being a decent city so you spend your life in your car just trying to get to where you’re trying to get to. They’re making progress, but to me a city means no car. Period.
OC is overall pretty deserving of ignoring. Our little corner is pretty decent to live in, though. Work is 3 miles. Kids can walk to the pool. Our association has a private beach-like thing, sailboats, etc. They can walk there too. We have our own little July 4 parade and fireworks. Bike to the beach. Bike to the mountains. Good tacos across the street. Good margaritas too. Good korean tacos on Friday. Nice deli. Quite decent philly cheesesteaks nearby. Plenty of to-die-for chinese, indian, persian, vietnamese, etc. And if restaurants aren’t your bag, you’ll have friends of each of those persuasions to invite you over for dinner. Basically its a city where nobody is from here, which is sad in a way since there is no history, not much in the way of traditions, but makes the people pretty interesting to get to know. Lots of money, though, which is a double-edge sword. Best part is its pretty near 72 degrees year round (supposed to be 83 on Sat) and hardly ever rains.
The kids are looking forward to halloween. The neighborhood goes all-out. Literally thousands of kids out walking around. Everyone sets up a table in the driveway because there are so many kids that you can’t possibly do it at the door. Houses hand out full-size candy bars (we do the minis, it’d cost us $500 to do the big ones). The kids candy haul will keep my office suite stocked until Christmas. Alas, I’ll miss it all this year – a public servant’s job is never done.
