These are just corgis wearing pitbull costumes. Every corgi mix looks like a corgi wearing a costume of the dog it’s mixed with. I’m not complaining, mind. These dogs are awesome.

Bummer! (abt Coyote vs Acme, not Verity) Maybe you can catch it on streaming at some point. Also I have totally been the only person in the theater at a movie before, I don’t know why they felt like they needed to cancel. Harrumph.

Please don’t. Or do, whatever. I’m not a buzzkill. But it will just be for you and maybe the dog.

I had jury duty today. Apparently there were 7 trials set for jury selection today, and the parties settled ALL of them without selecting a jury. We started at 8:30 and were out of there by 11:30. (dusting hands off) My work here is done.

Got to see Coyote vs ACME yesterday and it was fantastic. Here's my Etch-a-Sketch tribute!

In case anyone needs it, to have the ‘mubble-fubbles’ (16th century) means to have a fit of despondency or low spirits, such as the end-of-summer blues.

It’s like they made Coyote vs Acme specifically for me. Legitimately great and a huge nostalgia ride for anyone who grew up watching Looney Tunes on Saturday morning network TV. Go see it!

Sorry! I absolutely hate crying at work, it’s the worst. Please enjoy these pictures of our puppy:
Edward, a small brownish puppy of unknown ancestry, sits in the sun in our backyard. He is known as Edward, or Ed, or Fast Eddie, or Li’l Ed. Last week he got into our edibles WHOOPSIE (he’s fine).Edward curled up and sleeping in a tiny ball. He is 7 months old and weighs barely 8 lbs., but don’t tell him that. He wouldn’t believe you.
