IT SEEMS AS THOUGH...
++ IT SEEMS AS THOUGH urban living has its downfalls. even though we have 16-20 inches of snow here and going to work today is optional, meaning if you think you cannot reach work safely, then you are not expected to come. if it is possible for you to reach work safely in a timely manner, then you should do so. i live a 15 minute walk to work. there is no possible way i can justify not being able to make it to work. therefore i go. 16-20 inches! we haven't had that much snow cumulative since i was born. ok, maybe. but thats pushing it. guh. gotta shower. then spend the next hour digging my car out of this dumping. now if only we had just one mountain.. ++

HOLIDAY SEASON PARKING
++ I WENT TO the mall just the other day and it took me longer to find a parking spot than it actually took me to roam the mall. granted to be fair, i already knew where i was going in the mall and i already knew what i was there to see and look at and get, however the mall is a big place and those three places i wanted to go were all on opposite sides of the mall. i hate, no i take that back, i don't hate holiday shopping. its fun. honestly it is. it just takes a whole lot of time and patience to get through it all without wanting to kill someone behind the wheel of another vehicle. i'm pretty sure they let all new drivers take the road at this time and send them off to the mall. no, in fact i'm pretty sure they tell them to seek out all green honda civics and drive in front of them, behind them, and at them one right after the other just for shits and giggles.
.
want to know how to find a parking spot at the mall..

SIMPLE PLEASURES IN LIFE
++ SIMPLE PLEASURES IN LIFE
.
walking through the city in the daytime when the sun is out and you can see a blue sky on the first real snowfall of the winter, the snowflakes stick to your jacket, the wind blows them in every direction and you slyly open your mouth and stick your tongue out to catch any of them hoping that no one notices the guy in the all black business attire stealing this childish delight. ++

MY APARTMENT
++ I JUST FOUND some lights in my apartment that i never even knew i had!
.
you must have no idea how incredibly enthralled i am to have found these! i've been living in this apartment for about a month and a half and looked up at the ceiling in my kitchen multiple multiple times. i've flipped the light switch to turn on the garbage disposer multiple times and even looked at the other switch next to it. never has it occurred to me to even flip the other switch or wonder what it goes to. today i looked up at the ceiling noticed a row of track lighting and it completely made me ecstatic to find them!
.
what a great day! ++

I GUESS I WENT TO A GOOD SCHOOL
++ GOOD SCHOOL? SO THEY TELL ME..
University of Cincinnati's Master of Architecture's Program ranked 6th. There is some pretty hefty schools in front of us though. If anyone leaves UC to go somewhere else, its always to Harvard's Graduate School of Design, Yale, MIT or Columbia. I'm not exactly sure how or where Penn falls in there. I mean I've heard a little bit about it, but I've never heard of anyone wanting to go to Penn. Not that they aren't a good school. I'm sure they are. But it just never seems to be on anyone's wish list of Graduate Architecture Schools.
Go Bearcats. ++

MEMO FROM THE DOG
++ MEMO FROM THE DOG
.
Things I must remember (in order to keep my present living arrangements):
The garbage collector is not stealing our stuff.
I do not need to suddenly stand straight up when I'm lying under the
coffee table.
I will not roll my toys behind the fridge, behind the sofa or under the bed.
I must shake the rainwater out of my fur before entering the house.
I will not eat the cats' food before they eat it or after they throw it up.
I will stop trying to find the few remaining pieces of clean carpet in the
house when I am about to get sick.
I will not throw up in the car.
I will not roll on dead seagulls, fish, crabs, etc., just because I like
the way they smell.
I will not munch on "leftovers" in the kitty litter box; although they are
tasty, they are not food.
I will not eat any more Kleenex or napkins and then redeposit them in the
back yard after processing.
I will not chew my humans' toothbrushes and not tell them.
I will not chew crayons or pens, especially not the red ones, or my people
will think I am hemorrhaging.
When in the car, I will not insist on having the window rolled down when
it's raining outside.
We do not have a doorbell. I will not bark each time I hear one on television.
I will not steal my Mom's underwear and dance all over the backyard with them.
The sofa is not a face towel; neither are Mom and Dad's laps.
My head does not belong in the refrigerator.
I will not bite the officer's hand when he reaches in for Mom's driver's
license and registration.
I will not play tug-of-war with Dad's underwear when he's on the toilet.
I will not roll around in the dirt right after getting a bath.
Sticking my nose into someone's crotch is not an acceptable way of saying
'hello.'
I will not sit in the middle of the living room and lick my crotch when
company is over.
The cat is not a squeaky toy; so when I play with him and he makes that
noise, it's usually not a good thing. ++

LETTER FROM THE DOG..
++ LETTER FROM THE DOG...
"Dear God,
Why do humans smell the flowers, but seldom, if ever, smell one
another? Where are their priorities?
When we get to heaven, can we sit on your couch? Or is it the same old story?
Why are cars named for the eagle, the cougar, the mustang, the colt, the
stingray, the rabbit, etc., but not ONE named for a dog? How often do you
see a cougar riding around? We dogs love a nice ride! Would it be so hard
to rename the 'Chrysler Eagle' the 'Chrysler Beagle'?
If a dog barks his head off in the forest and no human hears him, is he
still a bad dog?
If we come back as humans, is that good or bad?
More meatballs, less spaghetti, please.
When we get to the Pearly Gates, do we have to shake hands to get in?
Are there dogs on other planets or are we alone? I have been howling at
the moon and stars for a long time, but all I ever hear back is the
Schnauzer across the street.
Are there mailmen in Heaven? If there are, will I have to apologize?
We dogs can understand human verbal instructions, hand signals, whistles,
horns, clickers, beepers, scent IDs, electromagnetic energy fields and
Frisbee flight paths. What do humans understand?
May I have my testicles back?
Signed,
The Dog"
