Wild Dog Animals

I have to hand it to the Chinese - they are always coming up with ridiculous new inventions and trends to entertain themselves (and the rest of us).  Their newest craze does not disappoint.  They have started to dye their pets to look like other wild animals.  I wish my dogs were fluffy enough to look like pandas.

 Lake Minnetonka in Royal Blue.

I Spilled. . .

Today I spilled: 
Item: Quaker White Cheddar Rice Cakes
Where: Shirt, pants, chair, desk, floor, shoes, face, hands, keyboard.
Damage done: White powdered goodness allover.  I can only assume this is what Lindsay Lohan's house arrest is like.

Pretty Ponies.

I like happy animal stories.  This one about the near miraculous birth of twin horses fits the bill.

Potholes

This year, in Minnesota, potholes have been especially bad.  It turns our we are not alone.  After a collision with a massive pothole, Claudia Ficca and Davide Luciano decided to make the best out of the situation - i.e. make some art.  Check out the website for their creative take on the road craters.

Open Letter

Open letter to my boss -

Thank you for coming in to work this week.  You have made it quite clear to us all that you are (very) sick.  I don't believe you when you say you're not "catchy."  I bet you are.  You haven't been to a doctor, so you don't really know.  You are mopey, cranky, and sound like a dying transvestite that swallowed a cat. 

It's really wonderful sitting across from you while you hack, cough, snot your way through the day.  I love that you keep stealing kleenex off my desk and blowing your nose right in front of me.  It makes me really happy that you keep touching stuff on my desk.  Can't you see that I am being EXTREMELY liberal with my antibacterial hand sanitizer?  Back the eff off.

Do us all a favor and go home.

Sincerely,
The Minneapolist
