Correction:

In the June 27, 2012 post "Misery Loves Alanis," we mistakenly attributed the noise coming from upstairs to Alanis Morissette,. It has since come to our attention that it was, in reality, just our neighbor singing out loud with abandon.

Sing it, Girl.

Misery Loves Alanis

What's the greater sin,
listening to Alanis Morissette because you're having a bad morning,
or forcing the people in the apartment below you to listen to Alanis Morissette because you're having a bad morning?

Let's all listen.

Dream Waffles

We had a dream last night (that’s right, we dream communally) in which we found a place that sold good Belgian waffles AND good fruit sorbet.

Clearly, this is all fantasy. If there actually were a place that served both of these things, and did so in a way that was delicious, we would have found it already and eaten them into franchises.

Until then, we'll just have to keep dreaming.

Saturday

The light bulb in the kitchen is out, so we're going to have to replace it.

Deflated Balloons

We planned to study yesterday, but decided to chase B around the house with deflated balloons instead.

Totally worth it,

Best Website Ever/Come Here/We Love You

We just found out that someone was referred to our weblog by searching for “dog birthday invitations” in Google. 

First of all, we want to come to that party. Second, we started thinking about how we could drag more people to this site, based on the content of our posts.

Rather than putting in the work to create 50 different posts about 50 different topics, we’re just going to do this:

 Hair loss. The Avengers. How many calories are in food. Neon colored clothing. Hipster jokes. Which Disney princess are you. Pinterest. 4^th of July. Rodney King. Does UPS deliver on Saturday. What are the lyrics to Boyfriend by Justin Beiber.

Seriously, now, how do we score one of those dog party invites?

Phenomenon

We stayed up really late last night so we could review the latest Muppet Movie for you, eight months after it came out.

This time around, The Muppets use their camaraderie to fight an evil oil baron who is intent on destroying Muppet Studios for good. The jokes may be familiar, but the determination of the Muppets will warm your heart and touch your soul. 

Overall, it was all right. When you rent it, rent A Muppet Christmas Carol instead, because that movie is awesome.

Also, if you've never watched this, you're really uncultured.

Working Out

Congratulations to our thirty-something year old neighbors who just discovered that jump roping is an aerobic exercise.

Ignoring the fact that the entire rest of the world knew this by kindergarten, we think it’s really great, and not at all annoying, that you like to jump rope past our window all the time now. 

Keep up the good work,

BrBa

We got some advice today in an email from B.
It's amazing how dogs these days can adapt to technology so quickly.
Anyway, it was tough love, but we think we needed to hear it.
Here it is:
B's Advice

Thanks, B.

Bad Malcolm Foot

We're trying to write this post, but we're also trying to watch the first episode of the first season of Breaking Bad. It's a lot like Malcolm in the Middle. For example, it has Bryan Cranston in it. And...no. No, that's the only similarity. B's not really into the show. She's licking her foot. She is really, really licking that foot.

For Jill, and Stuff

This post is dedicated to our friend, Jill, to whose birthday party we are late because we're writing this post.

B's thinking about attending, too, but she's deeply absorbed with Snakey right now.

I think we all know how this story ends.
Happy Birthday!

Sorry, Puppy.
All things considered, though, you should have seen it coming.

P.S.A.

Why spend $130 on hiking saddlebags  for your dog, when you can empty the case law from your backpack and chuck it in there?

Dog stays safe, and you don't have to deal with the embarrassment of watching your 4lb maltipoo kick your a** up a mountain.

This has been a public service announcement from,

Please enjoy Post-Birthday Week responsibly.

Too Tired for Title

Washed the dishes by hand today.
No lid casualties.

Also went on a big birthday hike.
Too tired to finish thi

R.I.P. Lid

We did the dishes.
One of the plastic water bottle lids fell on the heating coil of the dishwasher and melted.
Our heating coil now has a smelly, red, plastic coating.
Cleanliness hardly feels worth it.

Dirty Debate

P argued we should wash them by hand.
J demanded we use our new dishwasher.
The dishes didn't have a preference,
which is why they're still dirty on the counter.

Mid-Way Through B.D. Week

If you don't watch 30 Rock you won't get this. Coincidentally, if you don't watch 30 Rock, we don't get you.

Dog v. Balloon

Not everyone's a fan of birthday week.

Blame the Sombrerito de Birthday.

Olé,
