another frog tale

07/18/06

i saw a frog today on my fence/gate and decided i should take some pictures. i came inside and started looking at my close ups and realized this frog only had one leg. ian insisted that i was wrong (like spouses often do) and decided to go outside to catch the frog to “prove me wrong”.

so, a few minutes later ian enters the house with nothing other than a one legged frog. here’s some pictures (links open new window to flickr.com account):

countdown to rancid…

…72 hours. woo-friggin-hoo.

okay, so i don’t know who of you keeps up with the ufc, but i’m about to boycott them. they trumped up last night’s fight like it was the biggest fight night ever. for months there has been this “biggest rivals” match on commercial after commercial. shamrock vs. ortiz. well, i really wanted ortiz to when, but last night he won like a friggin jerk. $40 to watch the ref call the fight 1 minute and 18 seconds in, claiming that shamrock was not “intelligently” defending himself only after being hit in the head about five times.

the reason that this is trumped up is because a couple of fights earlier joe stevenson was literally wiping the may with yves. they were in a submission in a large smear of blood. the separated them to clean up the wound and yves had blood all over the back of his head… YET THEY DIDN’T CALL THE FIGHT until later.

here’s a picture of yves getting stomped: bloody pulp 1

lelu joins me today in my tiredness. she is completely crashed out on the landing with her little paws twitching with excitement. i love to catch her sleeping when she appears to be dreaming… sometimes she will move her feet around like she is running… sometimes she will make little quiet barks and yelps. it’s the cutest thing ever.

okay, so maybe not the cutest thing EVER… but damn cute, i tell ya, damn cute.

so i’ve went on a ticket buying frenzy recently and i am sooo looking forward to the next couple of months. first and fore-friggin-most i get to see the one and only RANCID. ahhh… Tim Armstrong. i cannot wait!

i’ll move on to september where i am anxiously awaiting The Raconteurs and then the very next day, ANOTHER Rusted Root show… SO FRIGGIN EXCITED I CAN HARDLY SIT STILL. god… i love music. i think i’ll go write some. later, peeps.
