funny shit I read today

adam duritz is a douche. duh, he's white and has fake black person hair

If someone had told me you'd be checking in today, I would have washed my hair and put on new underwear

I love how crazy I am. Nutty as a loon, I tell you! [imagine cuckoo clock sounds now]

Alton Brown made these on his show Good Eats
and Ri & I were talking about them...
one thing leads to another and the next thing you know
I'm at Safeway buying cherry Koolaid, white sugar, and a few jars of pickles.

- I used 1 liter polksie ogorki dill pickles
- strain dills and reserve half the juice
- add one cup water to remaining 1 cup juice then add 1 cup sugar and 2 packets cherry koolaid
- shove pickles back in rinsed jar
- pour mixture back into jar over pickles
- label date on jar lid and put back in fridge for up to 1 week.

I'll let you know in 2 days how they are

this photo was taken without a flash

One is a sick little puppy.
We woke up to eyes glued shut on Thursday morning, and a trip to
the emergency hospital. After about 3 hours of examinations the vets were dumbfounded.
A series of eye drops and oral medications regularly from that day until today when we had our follow up visit with One's regular vet.
Infection has cleared but they noticed damage to his eyes and One is still struggling with over dilation and bad vision.
They have no bad news or good news either. Today One walked around with the hugest dilated eyes ever, reflecting neon green when you looked at him.
Our next visit is with an optometrist on Wednesday morning.

Technically it is bilateral conjunctivitis coupled with something not diagnosed yet that is causing it... infected eyes both front of the eye and back of the eye.

Currently his eyes are so dilated that light hurts him.
The green eye snot has cleared and he is humping 'Giraffe' constantly.

oh by the way...
Clinique pore minimizer oil-blotting sheets are utter crap!
Clean & Clear Oil-Absorbing SHEETS rock!
