My Artistic Endeavors (or what I'm doing when I should be grading papers)

This is my friend Patty's dog. See? Doesn't the camera take a nice little video? And Doesn't the professor have a lovely voice?



And this is why I get happy when I'm walking.

Wow, your floors are GLEAMING! Sorry, was that totally off topic?

Super cute doggie, and yes, very good quality video :)

I, too, was quite impressed with the cleanliness of said abode and floors. This, of course, coming from someone who detaches Cheerios daily from assorted chairs, carpet and floor.

Very cute doggies and yes, QUITE the lovely voice, Professor J!

You never told us you could sing. You do have a lovely voice. All of this doggy footage warmed my heart. Your girls look so happy.

I'm trying to talk my husband into getting a dog. He's unconvinced.

I'm wondering if either of these videos will convince him.

Gorgeous pooches!

You go Professor J! I always appreciated your voice. Especially when accompanied by your guitar playing.

All the doggies look very happy! And man that toy takes some terrific video!

What nice pooches. I love the tails wagging in the walking video.

I always sing to my dogs too.

There's quite a few levels of wow in this, but I think most everyone else already commented on them.

Wagging doggie haunches and tails make me smile everytime.

What cute doggies! I see you're putting your new video toy through its paces. What fun!
I'm amazed the two dogs didn't completely switch sides while walking - I thought all dogs did that!

Lovely new banner. The dog on the right looks like a beagle, but a bit too large. A mix, perhaps?

Oh, I do love doggies! I'd be happy walking behind/above/alongside that, too.

I linked to you from Mrs. G's blog. As an "expat" of Texas, I LOVE your bluebonnet header!

I love it that you sing to animals! You and my husband would be great in a duet. He loves making up songs about our dogs and cats.

Embarrassing Personal Revelation #892

-
Joni Mitchell once wrote, "All I really, really want our love to do is to bring out the best in me and in you, too." It didn't. My partner and I have separated. We tried. We really tried. I am embarrassed to admit this. I even considered erasing this blog from the internet so that I would not embarrass myself or her. But my whole purpose in blogging was to have some kind of a community where I could be open and explore my writing in a personal way. You have shared the good things with me. You have seen my ugly 5K Ass Project photos. It would feel cowardly to just disappear. Plus, I could use the support.

Excerpt from student paper today: Being politically correct is a way that we speak here in America so that we don’t offend any whining babies. Only pathetically weak people that don’t have the balls to say what they feel and mean are politically correct [idiots]. Society and the media have made it to where people are now afraid to say what they actually mean. Comedians are now the only people who actually speak the truth about society. Except now even Saturday Night Live wont put anything that is not politically correct for fear that some left wing idiot will throw a fit a make NBC apologize. At this point in her reading of this cogent argument, my boss said, "does he realize you will be reading this paper?" Oh yes. And it gets better! Today’s society has become way to obsessed with how things need to be right and to make people feel better. The correct term these days for garbage man is a sanitation engineer. No, a garbage man is no kind of engineer he has no college degree...

First comes love. . .

Then comes doing our level best to destroy the family. Susan and I sat cross-legged on our bed last night and swore our undying love for one another. No witnesses, no music, no officials; just two happy gals staring into one another's eyes. I am very happy. It's funny, wearing this ring has made me a little self-conscious; I spent the day feeling like I had a neon sign on my forehead that said, "Look at my finger!" My office mate Mark said he felt the same way after he got married. Symbols are powerful things for English majors. Now if only I could claim her on my health insurance. "We learn to love by loving."
