gifts for the niece

here she is, isn't she adorable?



we're so excited to have a baby in the family. especially one as special as ella. we all love her to bits. i think we've all gone a little baby mad, dressing her up like a little doll. ella's half-birthday is coming up, and here are the little gifts i made for her:

a little raglan sweater with a pocket for her pacifier:



and a sugar skull dress:



by way of explanation, this is not morbid. ella's mom, her other aunt and i are fans of the mexican holiday, day of the dead. the holiday is not macabre or scary, it's about honoring and remembering relatives and friends that have passed on. the symbol of the skeleton is a principal feature of the day of the dead altar and the three of us collect skeleton items and display them all year long. so, i couldn't help but make a dress out of this material for our little darling.

multy's a loldog!

just looked on icanhasahotdog and saw the picture that i submitted of multy has made it on the site. i had submitted that picture of him with a different caption and someone recaptioned it to this and it made the site...


see more dog pictures

i think my original one (see below) was better, but this still pretty funny and now my dog's butt is famous! yay, multy!

so, in the past few weeks, i've made it on to two of my three favorite sites on teh interwebs (see below for my cuteotters.com debut). sigh, if only meg would post my fat, happy seal picture on cuteoverload...

Overheard at borders

Kid: Mom, I want this.

Mom: No. Do you have any idea how much I just spent on your new glasses? Wait, where are your new glasses!?

at which point I left the vicinity because I did not want to witness the beat down that kid was about to get.

hooray for otters

i've always been a big fan of otters since a trip to the monterrey bay aquarium oh-so-long-ago, so it goes without saying that i've been a big fan of the cuteotters.com website since it started up. when we went to seattle, i went to the aquarium just to see their otters and get pictures to send in to cuteotters.com. i sent them off to the site's creator and dedicated otter fan, peter, last week and he just posted them today. so, go check out my otter pics on cuteotters.com and enjoy the rest of peter's otter-riffic (see what i did there?) site! hooray for otters!

Purses

Is there some new law that I'm unaware of that requires that purses be both ugly AND expensive? Sheesh.

orca squeak

just back from vacation and processing my pictures to put up on flickr (soon, i promise). in the meantime, here is the hilite of the vacation - an orca squeaking at us!



note that the collective gasping and awwwwing at the cuteness is louder than the sound the whale just made.

Happy 4th of July!

Spent the day enjoying the fine weather in Seattle with Tia at the Mariner's game.

from the official record of the supreme court of the u.s. (438 u.s. 726, pp. 753-754):

The big one, the word fuck that's the one that hangs them up the most. [']Cause in a lot of cases that's the very act that hangs them up the most. So, it's natural that the word would, uh, have the same effect. It's a great word, fuck, nice word, easy word, cute word, kind of. Easy word to say. One syllable, short u. (laughter) Fuck. (Murmur) You know, it's easy. Starts with a nice soft sound fuh ends with a kuh. Right? (laughter) A little something for everyone. Fuck (laughter) Good word. Kind of a proud word, too. Who are you? I am FUCK. (laughter) FUCK OF THE MOUNTAIN. (laughter) Tune in again next week to FUCK OF THE MOUNTAIN. (laughter) It's an interesting word too, [']cause it's got a double kind of a life - personality - dual, you know, whatever the right phrase is. It leads a double life, the word fuck. First of all, it means, sometimes, most of the time, fuck. What does it mean? It means to make love. Right? We're going to make love, yeh, we're going to fuck, yeh, we're going to fuck, yeh, we're going to make love. (laughter) we're really going to fuck, yeh, we're going to make love. Right? And it also means the beginning of life, it's the act that begins life, so there's the word hanging around with words like love, and life, and yet on the other hand, it's also a word that we really use to hurt each other with, man. It's a heavy. It's one that you have toward the end of the argument. (laughter) Right? (laughter) You finally can't make out. Oh, fuck you man. I said, fuck you. (laughter, murmur) Stupid fuck. (laughter) Fuck you and everybody that looks like you. (laughter) man. It would be nice to change the movies that we already have and substitute the word fuck for the word kill, wherever we could, and some of those movie cliches would change a little bit. Madfuckers still on the loose. Stop me before I fuck again. Fuck the ump, fuck the ump, fuck the ump, fuck the ump, fuck the ump. Easy on the clutch Bill, you'll fuck that engine again. (laughter)

the first time i heard this, i was a sophomore in college taking a class called freedom of communication. we studied the famous pacifica case and not only was the above passage required reading, but my professor, geoff cowan, actually read the filthy words bit verbatim in class. unfortunately, though, i took the class a year too late. prof. cowan did the bit every year in class and, the year before, unbeknownst to him, george carlin's daughter, kelly, was taking his class. well, kelly told her dad that her professor was stealing his bit, and george carlin came to the next session and did the bit for real for the whole class! when we were studying for the final for this class, my friend, taleen and i, traded off reading this to each other. to this day, all i have to do is say "i am fuck, fuck of the mountain" and i can hear tal laugh all the way from san francisco!


sorry for all the f-bombs on my blog lately, but sometimes it just needs to be said. and george couldn't have said it better. 'bye, george. we'll miss ya. hope you're in heaven eatin' pork chops with jesus.

fuck you fox news

see Obama pictures

really? obama's baby mama? are you saying that because you think that's something that black people say? do you even know what baby mama means? i bet you do. so, you're really going to insinuate that an ivy league educated, successful woman lawyer is somehow the same as an unwed mother? really? pander to racial stereotypes much? so, to fox news, i say, fuck you. no, really. just fuck right off.
