Changing my blog writing over to blogspot.

I got it done before the new year.

Woo!

check it out and follow me my minions.

So there was a stray cat in my neighborhood and I felt bad it was out during the 18 degree highs.

So I let him in.

I brought him to the vet.

He's healthy, about 2 years old, a boy, and all mine.

I named him Ari.

He's a cuddly sweetheart!

Granted I think he wants to go outside.

And I don't want to have an outdoor cat.

Because their lifespan is cut in half.

Wait, where was I going with this?

Oh yeah, I'm a sucker for a sweet animal that are cuddly.

All my pets are cuddly (in their own way).

I like to cuddle.

Anyway, here are some pictures

 

 

He has double pawed awesomeness.

I love it because it looks like he has mittens for paws.

I don't need to knit him mittens becuase he already has some.

So, how many cats does it take to be a cat lady?

At least 2 or more than 2?

 

 

 

I made some stuff too!

I like the octopus headphone tote bag.

This octopus has good taste in music.

He told me about some great bands.

DeVotchka is a great band.

They had a couple songs on Little Miss Sunshine.

And if you watch TV, their song How it Ends was on the Gears of War 2 video game commerical.

You might think, "pppsshhaw.. you like them because you heard their song on a video game commerical, you TV watching sell out."

And I would retort, "oh hell no! I liked them before that!"

You would say "sorry" and I would say "you are totally forgiven."

And then we would be best friends.

The End.

Its me.

At work

 

There would be a lot of things I would be addicted to if I had absolutely no self control.

Mind you, I don't have complete control of myself.

I don't.

My self control is just enough to not make things go overboard.

But sometimes it does.

Now I have responsibilities that make me limit my addictions and wants to a minimum.

However, if I had all the time in the world, these would be a few of the following addictions.

- Wii. I would play the wii all the time. I would become the wii master. but then I would have no life and no friends and my dog would be pissed off at me because I would just ignore her.

- Guitar. I use to play the guitar 4 hours a day, everyday. If it wasn't for my sore fingers I would play all day. However, with recent new addictions, I don't play it as much.

- etsy. And this includes everything involving it, including making my shirts, totes, pins and stencils. If etsy pays me a decent amount and provided health insurance, I would be a happy person.

- puzzles. The jigsaw kind. I cannot help but stop when I see an incomplete puzzle. It double dog dares me to try to get at least one puzzle piece in the appropriate place.

- Sudoku. I would try to rule at these just like how Napoleon would try to rule the world. Only I would be prepared for a blistering winter. or maybe I would be soo addicted that i would neglect my heating bill and then winter would defeat me. Damn you cold nights!

- TV. I would love to say I am one of those people who does not have a TV or that I don't watch TV, but I do. I watch it. As a kid, I use to watch it for hours. I have definitely limited that down. However, now I watch quality programming (at least in my mind its quality programming). Mythbusters, Ghost Hunters, How I met your Mother, 30 Rock, The Office (US version), Little Britain, The big Bang Theory, etc. If you don't think any of these shows are "quality programming," then we can be friends but not best friends. Sorry.

- Movies. Goes along with TV, kind of, but I LOVE movies! I would watch movies all the time. They always suck me in, unless they suck. Which is kind of funny. So if movies suck, i'm not sucked in, but if they are good, I'm sucked in. Why does this sound kind of dirty? um... moving on....

- Internet. Growing up, I had a computer but not the internet. It wasn't really around yet at that point. It wasn't until high school that the internet existed. Also it was REALLY new then and EVERYONE had AOL for their internet provider via the modem. Oh the sounds of the modem. I would love to hear that sucker go and have a crawling internet connection. But if things like myspace and facebook were around when I was younger, you bet your ass I would have been on that and other things like wikipedia FOREVER!

- helicopter. The R/C radio control kind. I just got one yesterday and I love it. I crash a lot but I figured if i put in enough flying hours, I would totally master that.

Alas, so many things to be addicted to and not enough time and too many responsibilities.

Damn you growing up-ness.

damn you technology.

damn.

 

Oh yeah, so I did an SPT.

It covers one of my potential addictions listed above.

 

550 pieces and 25 marilyns from one of Andy Warhol's art pieces.

I think I am going to bring this back.

 

 

Only down a notch (meaning, a little smaller).

this is because red riding hood said so.

 

I can't believe my dog still loves me sometimes.

I celebrate thanksgiving however I am a vegetarian, so the sides of sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes, non-meat stuffing, veggies, etc were my meal (which were fantastic).

my non-turkey day was nice and black friday consisted of me getting things done for etsy. I refused to go out shopping on black friday with the threat of getting mowed down. I'm fragile.

Lets give a moment of silence to the employee at walmart who got squished by the mob of sale crazed people trying to get the best deals.

Seriously.

What the hell is wrong with people.

Anyway, so today is Cyber Monday.

However, I didn't have the time to organize my shop to have any special sales for today.

So I put up a new shirt instead.

 

Its suppose to be funny.

And not true.

Mythbusters busted this myth.

But I just like saying it.

That means there are no pretty girls, right?

 

Also, I found out my superman shirt appeared on another blog, and I didn't know.

But I was linked so it wasn't a big deal that I wasn't informed by the person who blogged.

 

My superman superbra got featured on a blog with a whole new twist.

The twist is not super man exposing his super bra.

Its actually how they featured it that I enjoy greatly.

Its really about Japan coming out with a line of bra's for men.

Actually their whole blog is terrific for all the geeks out there (I'm a geek and I have the glasses to prove it)

They mention how you can get the complete set of Buffy for $69.99 on Amazon which is 65% off the list price of $199.99.

I love Buffy.

You should too if you want to be my best friend.

Overall, its a great blog, you should go and check all of it out.

I decided to do something different for SPT
