new puppy!

Meet 4.5 month old Jersey. She was a stray brought in to the Humane Society in July with her sisters, both sisters died of illnesses and Jersey has just come out of quarantine for the second time and was up for adoption for 2 days before we scooped her up. She is a mix of black lab and, they say, cocker spaniel but we think it is actually border collie. she and jake got along great from the get go so we knew it was a good choice.

so off we go into the world of housebreaking... poor little thing is exhausted from her busy day and sleeping at my feet.

worst . movie . ever.

....evvvvver. We've been watching for a while now and we still haven't figure out what it is actually about. Oh, Chloe Sevigny, what were you thinking?
...we're getting cable tomorrow. yes, cable. we broke down. It's because of crap like this.

The evolution of the cell phone

My brother was cleaning out his garage and found a collection of old cell phones... my favorite was the one bigger than a modern cordless. Remember the days when a colour screen on a cell phone was the next big thing? (Or remember when no one had cell phones at all and everyone had a rotary phone on the kitchen wall!?)
