biscuit aka p.doody

so ive never been much of a dog person, or a pet person for that matter...there was my short stint as a dog owner from ages 2-4, with our cocker spaniel, fluffy. but that relationship ended when i was oh-so-innocently consuming my lifelong favorite meal - a hot dog. some ketchup had dribbled on to my chin, and fluffy came over to lick it off - and somehow managed to bite me and get his fang lodged in my chin (i dont remember this at all - but i do have the scar to prove it). shortly after was the birth of the little sis - and fluffy was regifted to another family.

my next role as a pet parent came in college with my sea monkeys. as any expectant mother, i counted the days until they hatched...days turned into weeks, weeks turned into months...and there was no visible difference in the murky water. it was not until much later that mars revealed to me that she had accidentally knocked the tank over and refilled it with laundry water. after all, that is what friends are for - killing your pets and then silently laughing at you while you stared at their dirty underwear water for hours at a time.

finally getting to my point...im in love! though we have not met, and i have only seen two pictures...im in love with biscuit...(no, not you soggy biscuit)...mama june's baby boy:

though i am quite sure that once he poops within smelling distance of me, or bites my chin off - whatever comes first, the love affair will be over. also, since i already have one biscuit in my life, i would have to rename him frodo, dumbledore or p.doody (my dog names of choice).

"swallow me then spit me out
for hating you, i blame myself
seeing you it kills me now
no. i dont cry on the outside
anymore..."

toy yoda

just the look on her face was worth sharing...so tragic.

text reads:
Jodee Berry of Panama City, Fla. sits with her toy Yoda at her lawyer's office Wednesday. Berry, a former Hooters waitress, has sued the restaurant where she worked saying she was promised a new Toyota for winning beer sales contest in April. Berry, 26, believed that she had won a new car, but she was blindfolded, led to the parking lot and presented a toy Yoda, the little green guy from Star Wars.

ch-ch-ch-changes...

so i start business school in a little over a month. its crazy to think that a month from now my life will be completely different than it is now. im excited to be back in school, but at the same time dread it...thinking back to when i was a senior at berkeley and thinking so strongly - man, i never want to do this again.
but grad school is a different animal, dont get me wrong, i LOVED college, and if i could do it all over again - i think that i probably would. things were just easier then, you know? decisions just had lesser consequences.

i think i am just bored with things, and need a drastic change to shake things up again. maybe ill get a pet...or a baby. yeah, a baby sounds good. whenever i see a cute little baby gurgling somewhere i find myself thinking - i want one of those. maybe ill just borrow one for a while...just play house for a while. for those of you that know where im going with this - dont kill me! i know, i know - its a phase...

i just cant look its killing me
and taking control
jealousy, turning saints into the sea
swimming through sick lullabies
choking on your alibis
but it's just the price I pay
destiny is calling me
open up my eager eyes
