I’m Rick James, Bitch

I went to go play with the celebrity face recognition stuff over at My Heritage. I figure it would be good to see what I look like.
I upload this picture:

It scans it. I don’t really know how I feel about this being my first match:

My other options were Bruce Willis, Neil Gaiman, Diane Keaton, Lawrence Mother Fucking Fishburne, Wong Kar-Wai (who is that?), Billy “oh for fucks sake” Bob Thornton, Eddie Murphy, and Jessie McCartney!!!
I don’t know whether to laugh, cry or have a drug overdose.

it smelled good

The heat wave finally broke with thunderstorms last night. After god knows how long baking in the kiln of minnesota heat wave we had our relief. We laughed that we were enjoying the cool 80 degree weather!
It smelled of summer rain all day. Spring rain smells of fresh dirt and new grass. Fall rain has a chill, it smells smokey, there’s a little twinge of winter in the air. Summer rain smells of heat, almost sultry in its effect. Summer rain washes away the ozone and smog and pollution and for a brief time reminds you that there is a planet under your feet.

I miss my sister a lot.
She had one of her after work parties at her place and I realized when i showed up that I’d not seen her for most of the summer. She works different hours from me, she works evenings and weekends and when she does finally get time off she needs to deal with stuff. I’m working and traveling and too focused on my own stuff to remember to make time.
I need to make a vow to commit to making more time for my sister.
If for no other reason than I love to grab her ass when she least expects it.

Hello adultivity?

I was just thinking the other day about how strange it is that I rarely drink anymore. I almost always limit myself to social drinking and even then go with weak drinks and lots of water. I’ve gotten tipsy no more than 3 times in the last year and full on drunk maybe once or twice.
It’s not like I made this decision, or more specifically, I see it more as just a natural progression. I just don’t drink so much.
Of course I’m thinking about this yesterday and what do i do to prove my point? Consume an entire bottle of german wine with dinner. A dinner I ate by myself.
So much for not drinking in excess anymore or only drinking socially.
On the bright side, i didn’t really get drunk, just tipsy. It’s not like gerwurtztraminer is a strong wine.
I’m off to clean more to get ready for the festivities tomorrow. Seriously, you DO want to show up. there’s gonna be a buttload of interesting food.

FURTHER proof that jesus not only hates me but is actively seeking to destroy me…

I woke up this morning to find that some time in the night ghengis had gotten up and taken a series of bloody shits on the carpet.
Now, two things:
1) how did I know it was ghengis and not maddie since maddie has a history of shitting blood and ghengis does not? well, first of all, a dog owner knows her dog’s poop. I mean I hate to be graphic, but really it’s too late. Secondly, maddie has a gigantic asshole and as such tends to leave fewer but larger deposits. Ghengis has a dime slot for a butthole and that was in evidence in the um…evidence
2) what the fuck is going on that I have 2 dogs shit blood in such a short period of time? Yeah, it took me by surprise too! Then I started to think about the common factors between the two situations. They’re eating different food than they were when maddie had her episode. They play with different toys, ghengis chews hard things, maddie squeezes stuffed animals. What IS common is that they were both on Cephalexin before this happened, maddie on it for her feet and ghengis for his ear infection. I think it’s pretty safe to say that Cephalexin will cause your dog to shit blood on your carpet.
It’s pretty clear now that jesus hates me. It’s made better by the fact that I have access to borrow for free the industrial carpet cleaner with the kick ass cleaning chemicals. This thing cleans carpets in dorms for fuck sake. Anything that can clean, and survive, a dorm carpet can handle this.
it does mean I had to postpone my bbq to sunday afternoon. So, if anyone wants roasted veggie salad on grilled bread (sort of a panzanella fresca), skewered shrimp, grilled stone fruit with goat cheese and pancetta, and vanilla ice cream with grilled pineapple let me know! Sunday at 1pm. There will be beer.
