Lately things have been a little crazy around here. I have been running at full tilt to get a lot of work done for a lot of different places, getting less sleep than I should, while generally getting very frustrated with the world. And recovering from pneumonia. As there have been a plethora of oddly appropriate animal macros floating around on the web (most from ICHC), I’m going to use them to help explain my story.

Hobby Lobby and Women as 2nd class citizens
I have to admit that I’d never heard of Hobby Lobby until the first time I went to Alabama with Geoff. The first time I actually laid eyes on one I started laughing. I couldn’t believe that someone would actually name their store something that utterly ridiculous. It turns out that’s not the limit to their ridiculousness.

One of Bucky’s previous lives
We have all heard that cats have nine lives, but rarely is the evidence for one of those lives presented so starkly and so unexpectedly.
In a previous life, Bucky belonged to Mr. Samuel Clemens, aka Mark Twain.
26 posters
Don’t worry, they’re not all in this post.
Today I got my daily email from Fab.com. One of the featured shops was for artist John Keddie, a San Francisco based artist who is a multimedia computer savvy type guy. He also very clearly has an appreciation for pop culture and, well, twisted humor. That’s why we’ve put up 7 of his posters. The rest are probably too, um, gritty for our parents. As they read this blog regularly and may pass out from too much grit, we’ve erred on the side of caution with our choices.
This week, in the randomness that is the internet
Every so often I come across a random photo or drawing on the internet that amuses or horrifies me. Or if I’m lucky it makes me wonder what on earth is going on. This is a round up of three that I’ve come across this week. Enjoy?

My great white green whale
Geoff and I don’t have a lot of money. This means that when we need something I tend to spend a lot of time looking to find the right item at the right price and the right quality. That way we don’t have to replace it in 10 minutes and we end up with what we need. Sometimes this is harder to do than other times.
A little whimsy for your day
I don’t know about the rest of you, but I need a little whimsy today. So I found some on the internet. I hope you like the following as much as I did.
More news like this, please
Yesterday I saw the news that Michael Clarke Duncan had died and I was SO sad. His part in The Green Mile had really left me feeling like I knew him. As an actor he’d stepped out of himself and let the character fill him. In other words, he did a damn fine job and I really, truly respected that. Geoff and I both, when we heard the news separately, felt like we’d been socked in the gut.
This kind of news, however, I could read all day.
There, fixed that for you
Dogs and politics always make strange interesting bedfellows. One has only to check out Dogs Against Romney and read about the Seamus saga to know that, or to witness the swift death of Michael Vick’s career to know that being cruel to a dog is a great way to kill your public persona in the minds of the American public.
Creepy item of the day
I’m a big fan of putting up weird, creepy, poorly thought out, and generally strange stuff here that I find in various parts of the internet. Some times they’re emailed to me and other times I just happen across them. Today, this landed in my inbox.
