Dear Dog

Dear Golden Retriever,

You insist on sleeping on my bedroom floor at night and I am fine with that. What I am not fine with, however, is the large amount of noise you make.

1) You breath so loudly. Over and over like a train. It keeps me awake. Every so often you do a random baby howl just to remind me that you are there.

2) Then you get a little itch somewhere. You begin to nibble at it or scratch it but you have one of those reflex things all dogs seem to have. Your back leg starts to twitch. Starts to shake. Starts tp rub against the carpet. And then before I know it your back leg is thumping hard and repetitivly against the floor like you are trying to hammer in a resistant nail. I fear the neighbours may mistake it for a bedpost smacking against the wall.

3) Then you drift off to sleep and as a result I can drift off to sleep. There I go into a lovely dream and then you start to have one of those dreams where you are running. Your legs start to go like you are on a bicycle and in turn they beat heavily on my door, my door frame, the box of notebooks by my bed, the carpet and the loose floorboard. Over and over until I fully aroused from my sleep.

So, dear dog, I love you dearly. But please can you occasionally make the short trip across the hallway and flop down in my sisters room. She has more tolerance for dogs than I do and I would like that she starts to see my perspective a bit.

Silly Billy

On account of getting freaked out by The FBI Files, before anything has really happened, I went to lock the back door. Unfortunately it was not on the side where I keep it, neither was it on the fridge where I am supposed to keep it.

It was in the back door. The side facing the big wide world and all the dangers it cotains therein.

I have twice left the front door key in the front door, and I was so proud to have trained myself out of it, only to start on the back door.

The FBI Files

Kezia Spooky Pie's need to sleep otherwise they are cranky for work. Unfortunately I made the mistake of channel hopping and The FBI Files has just started. It looks like an interesting one as well. x

Overrun

Currently residing in my little two bedroom house;

Me
My Sister
A Golden Retriever
Three Girl Cats
One Boy Cat
Two Girl Guinea Pigs
Three Boy Guinea Pigs

What is that a total of? Twelve.
TWELVE!

My parents decided to do a clear out of pets, and cleared them straight into my house. They are having the dog back, although they want me to keep him.

We may have kittens on the way (accidently) and I definately will purposely get baby guinea pigs.

My Apartment

I don't like dogs...

I have permanently established now. I keep swaying back and forth and though I love dogs, I just can't tolerate their little traits;

They smell

They bark

They are messy.

 I am a cat person. Cats tidy up after themselves, they don't give you that constant, shadow-like affection that dogs do and they are nice and quiet. In my lovely apartment that I hope to get I will live happily with a cat and a guinea pig.

Batman

"Batman: The Movie carries the high camp absurdity of the 1960s TV show to gleeful new heights. Shark Repellent Batspray, costume-removing Batpoles, a contraption that dehydrates political figures into coloured powder, and endless childishly easy conundrums. Bringing the primary-coloured show to the big screen was a natural move, since sets, costume and casting were all in place. But what elevates the movie above the series? Is it the wonderful new toys--the Batcopter, Batboat and Batbike? Is it the OTT direction, taking the Dynamic Duo on location far more than usual? Or is it the electrifying one-upmanship between Burgess Meredith (Penguin), Cesar Romero (Joker), Frank Gorshin (Riddler) and Lee Meriwether (a new Catwoman since regular Julie Newmar was busy elsewhere)? As Commissioner Gordon says, "The sum of the angles of that rectangle is too monstrous to contemplate!" Really, the best of the movie's magic is to be found in the sheer glee Adam West and Burt Ward exhibit in playing for the big screen. This was the most exciting event in their careers. And it shows in their colourful, zestful performances."

I just bought Batman (1966). Huzzah. The incredibly amazing Adam West. I hope I dream of thee tonight. Ha.

Proper Blogging

As my beloved cat swings from the curtains, I am thinking, "Should I pay for a proper blog?"
You know, a real one. A DOT COM one, a CO dot UK one. Hmmm?

Maybe I should wait. After all it is probably to soon for me to be thinking of making these drastic decisions. I mean I have been blogging for, what, about a week?

Plus I no followers. Count 'em NONE.

101 Dalmations

I just finished watching 101 Dalmations on BBC Three. What a funny film,

"Who won the gold?"

Of course, I was dismayed at the INCREDIBLE INNACURACCY depicted by a racoon in the English countryside! A racoon! I guess, as a viewer I expected to conjure up in my head that, of course, it most definately escaped from London Zoo. How else could it have got there?

I am surprised that Hugh Laurie, Joely Richardson and Mark Williams failed to point this out to the makers. They probably did and were rebuffed.

A Classy Affair

I say that with the thickest sarcasm. Champagne and Pizza night was not the semi-dignified affair I have come to expect. Instead I spent the early hours cleaning up someone elses vomit from in and around the toilet. I don't think I can ever eat pizza again as it was clearly the solid pizza topping... Yuck, yuck, yuck, I cannot continue for it is to ghastly.

xXx

Lizards

By the way, here is the lovely bracelet I won off Ebay. Pretty cool...Pretty Cool. x

Champagne and Pizza Night

Well, the time has come for another champagne and pizza night. A costly affair that is nethertheless rather entertaining. Unfortunatly my tolerance for alcohol has grown rather a lot so I will probably have to buy two bottles.

I also want to buy fruit cake because I have a strange craving for one. I get a craving for one about twice a year, proceed to buy one, take one bite and then the rest goes to the dog.

I am also concerned as to where to park my car. Parking on a Saturday is usually so ghastly and I will admit that I am not the best driver. That quote in Nick And Nora about leaving enough room between your car and the kerb to allow another vehicle to park there rings true for me.

I googled it...

My darling mother will be getting a nice little goodie bag from me. I shall fill it with

Lots of gluten free goodies

A nice scented candle

Pretty toiletries

Maybe a photo frame or something small and cute

That should do her nicely. Unless of course I think of something incredible to get her instead.

My mum's birthday is coming up...

I have come o the conclusion that I must avoid Ebay as I keep on buying things for myself instead. I never normally look at jewellery but obviously I headed that way on account of my mum and came across some very intriguing lizard bangles which I just had to have.

My mum also likes Steiff Bears but every birthday and Mother's Day I go along to the little store that sells them, take one look at the prices, and then remember why my mum has never recieved one from me on such occasions.

Ooooh...

I want my dining room to look like this. x

The misadventures of bathtime...

Today I did that thing where you accidently let the bath fill way to high with hot water. How to solve this dilemma? I promise you, it's not interesting.


1) Seeing as there was about an inch left around the edge, I let the cold water run into it until it had reached spill level. Unfortunately it had little effect on the temperature.


2) I put on some marigolds and attempted to get the plug out. Unfortunately my first attempt meant that the marigolds were not long enough by about half an inch and the boiling water started to spill over the top.


3) I took the dog for a walk. Seeing as my options were limited to letting it cool down I decided this would benefit the two of us. Forty five minutes later...


4) I did what I should have done in the first place. I dived my hand in, trying to ignore the burning, and wildly grabbed for the plug. I missed it the first time and I had to try again.


After all this it meant my bath was limited to ten minutes. Should have had a shower. x

Animals

Well, last night I slept on the sofa on account of all the noisy animals in my room, so I am a bit cranky. However, I am sane enough to know that all these noises coming from my cupboard are not imaginary. The dog is asleep, the cats are out and the guinea pigs are in their cage so I am a little bit concerned. x

Bedtime

Well even Kezia Spooky Pie's need to sleep otherwise they cannot get up for work the next day. I will leave you with this intriguing doll I found on Ebay. x

There is a moth on my ceiling...

Only I am not 100% certain that it is an actual moth. It is very stationary. I don't believe anyone has any reason to bug my room so I shall have to assume it is a moth. x
