Leftovers
My dog is silly. We gave him the container from the leftover pot roast to lick out . . . because, you know, he likes to help around the house . . . and after he’d cleaned it, and bounced it around the dining room a bit, and chewed on the corners . . . you have to get every last iota of flavor out of there, you know . . . he just stretched out, with both front paws cozily tucked inside, and meditated on the joys of leftovers.
It looked very cute, but it really is just a little silly, huh? Which pretty much sums up my boy Chappy.
I had some bonus knitting time at the office today. They needed to reboot the entire system and we were all told to shut our computers down completely. Well, about 98% of my work requires me to be ON my computer (well, in front of it, technically), so . . . there was nothing I could do. And so, I pulled out my knitting and stood in the hallway, my yarn bag dangling from my wrist, chatting with other co-workers who couldn’t do anything constructive, either. Except, of course, that I was. I must have added about half an inch to my socks–which might not sound like a lot, but it’s a half inch more than I’ve added any other day at work . . .
Hey, for the “wow!” of the day, go here to check out this person’s functioning harpsichord built entirely out of Legos. I know I’m impressed!
The other “wow” is about how awful I thought the series/season finale of Veronica Mars was last night. What a depressing end . . . I didn’t need to see things tied up in a nice, pretty little bow, but darn it . . . Veronica walking off into the rain (to the tune “It never rains in sunny California”) having basically ruined her father’s career and no chance to put things right? Leaving them basically exactly where they were when the show started, all because of the Kane family? Why? Whywhywhy?? SO unfair. I wanted to see Keith and Veronica looking HOPEFUL, darn it! Things were finally looking up for them, right up until the last episode or so, and if I’m not going to get to see them in the future, I want to at least have the feeling that they’ll be well and happy. Sigh. So much for that plan….

Who needs cable television? we have pets!
chappy is so cute! computer downtime sounds like a nice knitttng break.
Wow. That harpsichord… just wow.
remember that kiva link you had last week? well, i checked it out, and donated. too cool!
and i hate shows that end that way. there was a micro-series when i was a child called phoenix, that had extraterrestrials. they were looking for something on earth. it only ran 4 weeks during hte summer (remember when they used to run pilots that were never going to be aired otherwise?), and it ended with them still looking. bleh
My DH had a dog that used to do that same thing. It was so cute and funny to see Rex reclining with his front paws inside the tupperware!
Don’t we just love our silly pups?
Anytime I’m upset about a show’s ending, I mentally rewrite it to whatever ending makes me happy. They’re fictional anyway, right? Why shouldn’t I be the one who writes the end?
Sorry about your show, I bites when they leave you forever unsatisfied. At least Chappy’s happy! And that harpsichord! I adore the music they make, bt this is quite special-wow…
Chappy is adorable….he is my favorite non-my puppy out there. However, I am sure Horatio is now wondering how he can get his paws on some tupperware.
If they “ended” your show that way, they may bring it back someday (hope springs eternal). Maybe they did it for a reason.
I wish they needed to power down our work computers… some down time would be nice (even if I am not knitting).
What a silly dog. I wonder what goes through their mines, I know, I wish I had some more. I deserve some more. More would be nice. Maybe if I look cute enough more will appear.
