Microwave Mayhem
Hello, Bloglings. Sir Buffalo Sushi here. So, Big Fish is still recovering from surgery, and he relies on a microwaveable heat pack to relieve the pain. But, the other day, the worst thing that could possibly happen to a person on the face of the Earth… happened. Our microwave broke. No more hot dogs, no [...]
Whoops!
Uh…did anyone else notice it’s Thursday already? I think the week got away from me and I’ve neglected PDS. Ever feel like you’re kind of going along, putting out fires and taking care of this and attending that and trying to hold down the fort and carrying a roll-over “to do” list for days on [...]
Cow Puppets
Hello, Bloglings! Sir Buffalo Sushi here. Today I had nothing to post about. But, I was bored and I found a box of “Make your own puppets” downstairs. So I made some puppets. You’re suppose to make a cow, flamingo, and mouse, but I made two cows. The white one is complete, but the gray [...]
Try to read my pretty poker face…
Mister is playing a computer poker game right now (hey, it’s before school and he’s learning…uh…statistics?), and one of the characters says that. “Try to read my pretty poker face.” Only he says it in a really fast, staccato, accented voice. Anyhoo, it cracks me up and it’s my new catch phrase. So here’s something [...]
Space case
Okay, so here’s a weird one. Last night I dreamed some people were coming to town to film a new Star Trek movie. And they wanted me to play the captain! Woowee! I said, “Sure, count me in.” Well, shortly thereafter, I happened to be walking around in some pipe-filled basement, as happens occasionally in [...]
Pain in the neck
Time has been a little blurred at Chez Polka Dot for the last week. Big Fish has had some hefty back problems for some time, but last week things kind of exploded and he was in amazing pain. Long story short — he ended up with major surgery on Friday to repair four discs. Ouch. [...]
Dusty’s Birth Day
Hello, bloglings! Sir Buffalo Sushi here. My dog, Dusty, turned 7 yesterday. This is really the first year that we celebrated it. Mom bought her “Frosty Paws” which is a ice cream for dogs. And my dog’s not the best eater to begin with, she never chews, and she finishes her daily bowl of dog [...]
Hairy Plotter
It happened again this morning. Big Fish called up, “Hey, J.K. Rowling’s going to be on the news in a couple minutes. Want to come watch for inspiration?” It’s not the first time someone’s implied that if I just wrote a best seller, I’d live happily ever after in financial bliss. Oh, is that all [...]
Coffee talk
I first started drinking coffee in college. All nighters, you know. At first, I was into the milk-and-sugar route. Then, after a road trip with my sister across the country in a Yugo (remind me to tell you about the Goodwrench Sister adventures sometime), I took it black. (I didn’t like powdered creamers on the [...]
AI (or Abbreviation Insanity)
So I’ve heard the reports about shrinking attention spans in our kids (and in adults). About how, because of all the information overload, humans have started to want just the facts. And fast. Otherwise our attention wanders, our eyes glaze, and we’re either a) thinking about something else already or b) just slipping into a [...]
