recent activities.

These days, I enjoy doing the following:
pulling my cats tails but not that hard.
teaching colin, my 4 yo nephew, new phrases like, "you're yanking my chain" or "i am just pulling your leg".
calling colin's art jar a fart jar. he gets mad when i do that. it's such a gas!
letting my cats sneak in the house and trying to find them, then pulling their tails but not their chains or their legs. cuz they don't wear chains, though they should, and pulling legs just seems too mean.
sitting outside and getting covered in bugs. they make me itch.
sitting outside and finding all the creatures my cat, barney, has killed.
body count to date:
4 gophers
2 field mice
1 dead lizard
1 live lizard with no tail (just found this morning under our hose hiding).
1 snake!that played dead. it was green. Barney was rolling on it and flipping it in the air. I was freaking out. Then my dad came home and i got barney and my dad threw the snake over our fence with a shovel.
the dead things get covered in bugs too. but i don't think they itch.
drinking coffee with my mom every morning. such sweet company.


speaking of chains. I was in the airport flying back from Washington DC to Seattle last year. I was in line to go through the metal detector. There were two guys in front of me. As we got closer to the metal detector everyone started taking off belts, shoes, rings, watches, etc. Well, these guys did just that but forgot to take off all their chains. I am not talking just dogs tags. I am talking like real bling. You know, diamond studded money signs/bull dog. I can't remember all the details but I do remember seeing alot alot of gold. Collectively, they had about 8-10 chains. The first of the two walked through and the metal detector went wild. Then they both realized that they had to take off all their chains. The best part of it was watching them carefully take each one off prior to the metal detector and then watch them carefully put each one back on after the metal detector. I think that keeping bling on through a metal detector prolly happens all the time cuz in the instructional videos on how to quickly get through the line says nothing about bling just shoes, computers, rings, watches, water bottles.

They were on my flight!

almost cut my hair.

No, No, No, not me, him.

I found this cover on youtube while looking up Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young vids. This popped up and I loled. N-Ewayz, he is sure letting his "freak flag fly" on top of his head and right behind his head, on the wall, all over the wall.

Here it is from Strat2Caster,

Along came a spider.

Today is laundry day. My room kinda smells and I have no clean clothes. But, this is what was in our laundry room. ACK! They are called jumping spiders. Not poisonous and don't make webs. They catch their prey by jumping on them. Soooooooooo, tomorrow will be laundry day.

You're my butterfly, sugar, baby. Part 2

Phillip, here, explains actually what the butterfly stroke is.

"But Phillip", you ask, "what do i do with my fucking arms"? Phillip says, "Hey, watch your language and watch my fucking youtube video".

You're my butterfly, sugar, baby.

I love butterfly anything. I love butterfly hair clips, butterfly jokes (pass the butter, please. have you ever seen butter fly?), butterfly tattoos, butterfly houses at the zoo, but most of all, I love the butterfly stroke. What you don't know how to do the butterfly stroke?!!! Well, I actually do and, with some help, I can teach you free of charge.

First, here is Phillip on the dolphin kick:

Second, here is Phillip (again) on the butterfly stroke jargon. He uses key phrases that you must at least learn, even if you never learn the stroke, you can still use the words, even if you don't even swim, and people will think you are an expert at the butterfly stroke. here it is:

alright more to come later...enough for today, dry yourself off, and go watch some tv.
