Obey the Pug

Check out this fabulous link I found over at ljc fyi. Hysterical stuff. I will definitely be getting Mr. Boar some things – it is never too early to start your holiday shopping! The trouble will be deciding which things to buy, I want them all!

There is not much news to report. I am still in the stockinette portion of Icarus. I do believe that after this last repeat, I will be freed from this hell.

happy as a pig in sh*t

Well dearies, it’s been 20 (yes, 20. t w e n t y. 10 + 10) years of wedded quasi-bliss for the Boar & Me.

Ann and Boar, sitting in a tree, k i s s i n g. First comes love. Then comes marriage. Then comes daughters in the baby carriage.

It’s Ann Shayne Day ……

Did I mention that Ann Shayne is my hero? that she is a super genius? that I ♥ her?

Imagine my glee as I watched my missing first episode of The Office last night – not to mention the ability to rewind and watch the especially funny parts over and over again. Here is a very technical rundown of how it all works …..

  • through iTunes, I went to the music store.
  • from there I went to tv programs and selected the episode of The Office that I wanted.
  • I gave them credit card info (it is only $2/show) and then was able to download the episode I wanted to watch. (I did have to upgrade iTunes, but that is a free upgrade)
  • then I was able to watch the program on my computer screen.
  • yay for both Anns!

there is only one fly in the ointment. I am now wondering what other snazzy tricks I don’t know about. What else do you guys know that I don’t? c’mon, fork it over.

I am almost past the boring part of Icarus. It is knit from the top down and is basically stockinette stitch until it gets to the bottom lacy part. We are nearing the lacy part! I’d take a picture, but it looks the same, just bigger.

Instead, here’s a picture of Lucy the Pug for you to enjoy!

Lucy says, “Unlike stockinette stitch pictures,
pug pictures are never boring.”
Lucy is so smart.

I have to make this quick since I want to get the house in order before I head to work – but not before I declare Ann Shayne is a genius! When I lamented being tivo-less and missing the first episode of The Office, Ann suggested I download it through I-tunes. take a moment and let that one sink in.

so simple, elegant and accurate.
