Signs of the apocalypse

- ROB FORD IS MAYOR. Toronto, WTF? Seriously, Richard Nixon’s corpse would make a better mayor than this buffoon. – Someone stole my credit card number! And bought gas!  The bank just called to ask, “Hey, did you buy gas this morning and yesterday?” I didn’t, because I don’t have a car.  Bastards. – Sadly, [...]

Daily Basset, Oct 24, 2010: Welcome Home Party Edition

Madeline and Gus throw Ben a welcome home party. Or I wake Gus up at 10:30 to put a plastic lei on him and take his picture. I upload, you decide. In other news…the conference yesterday was great.  I saw some excellent talks and presentations and did some quality schmoozing.  People really liked our show.  [...]

Daily Basset, Oct 21 & 22, 2010: Bassets phone home

Yesterday’s Daily Basset pictures were not what I would call spectacular.  I tried to catch both playing/being bad: Today Gus fell asleep next to my cellphone.  When I went to get the camera to take a picture of the resulting cuteness, he woke up and followed me, so I had to stage these: Aw.  Anyway, [...]

Daily Basset, Oct 19, 2010: Film buff edition

It’s a joke in our house that Gus likes movies.  That is, he likes it when we watch movies. He jumps up on the futon, sighs, then burrows under the covers and sleeps. That’s what he thinks “watching a movie” is. Yes, that’s right, I watched “The Last Airbender” today.  It was really, really awful. [...]

Daily Basset, Oct. 18, 2010: Helper hound edition

You know how yesterday I said I was tired? I was very tired, and I had a bit of a sore throat, but I figured it was just a mild hangover/remnants of a cold I had a week or two ago. This morning I woke up and it was a very bad sore throat. So [...]

Ohmigod I’m tired.  Last night was my Bearded Lady Pub Crawl…I will post pictures of it later…and today was a full day of teaching.  Also I decided to paint the studio this weekend.  I wanted to fix up the house a bit while Ben’s away, and it looks very nice (I have to do a [...]

So I got a new card reader today (from Staples, and it cost an appropriate amount of money) and it a) reads the card just fine and b) magically fixed it so it works in the camera again.  After backing up the videos from Fallen Voices (yes yes yes! not lost!) I was able to [...]

Daily Basset, Oct. 15, 2010: Classic edition

Still haven’t got the right card reader thingy for my camera, so instead of new basset pictures I’m posting some classic ones. Tomorrow: New basset pictures. I promise.

Daily Basset: Oct 13, 2010

It may be a cold morning, but that doesn’t keep Gus from his duties. Or Madeline from her practice: I also got her in mid-howl: I woke up this morning feeling exhausted and I couldn’t figure out why…until I put yesterday’s food and exercise into my calorie-counting app (I put on some weight this summer [...]

Daily Basset: Oct 12, 2010

Bassets at Home:         You may notice a pattern: Gus is always sleeping, Madeline is always playing with a toy or trying to get someone to play with her. First thing today I took them to the beach.  It was a beautiful, cool, crisp morning – I think I’ll do the same [...]
