Other Things That Make Me Happy

Dogs, of course! This video is so cute — even if its a setup.

It’s Like Riding a Bicycle
scrappybadger June 29th, 2008
I’m still rusty at this blogging thing, so I will probably post mostly links for a little while. Plus, my head is full of smoke, and it makes it hard to think. There have been two wildfires burning near our area for the last month or more, and most days we get more than a little smoke. Today is a bad day. It looks like a moderate amount of fog has rolled in, and the house, though we have it closed as tightly as possible, reeks of smoke.
So until my brain is back to full working capacity, go take a look at Destee Nation. They sell t-shirts advertising small, locally owned West Coast businesses. They favor the kind of places that you would normally only hear about if you spent a good deal of time in an area — greasy spoons, bowling alleys, taverns. I wish I’d seen their site before we went to Seattle last fall; we missed some neat looking places. Speaking of which, when I get a few extra dollars I’d like to get this t-shirt. I was so bummed that the streetcar wasn’t running when we were in town.
I found their website the other day by way of some Internet lounging. You know what I mean; you look at some website that sends you to another website and so on until 2 hours later you wake up from your clicking-induced fog and realize that you haven’t done a single piece of work. It’s wonderful really — somnambulism updated for the 21st century! Anyway, I seem to remember reading that they had been featured in the NY Times if you care about that kind of thing.
How Do I Get Back Here?

It’s been almost 5 months since my last post. I’ve written upwards of two dozen blog entries since then, but they’ve all been in my head. And now I’m not sure how to get back. Maybe I should start with a picture.
Here’s Luna at the beach back in May. She actually fell asleep face down in the sand. Weirdo.
