ego? what ego? I am but a sheeeeeeep.

Take a picture of yourself right now.
don't change your clothes, don't fix your hair...just take a picture.
post that picture with NO editing.
post these instructions with your picture.


FYI, this was taken before caffeine. You SURE you wanna look?


EtA: alas, that I didn't see this meme before I went out last night. I was clean and well-dressed and everything!







And now the coffee is ready and I feel the editorial lash coming down...

random NYC chatter

overheard on the 1 train yesterday, around 125th St:

"So, will this finally be the year teachers get a bonus and investment bankers don't?"

PUPPY!

*does new puppy dance*

No, not mine -- my folks. They've been talking forever about getting a puppy, but never found the right one. Last night I happened to walk by a rather small, select grooming shop that also sells a few likewise-select puppies at a time. I don't know why I stopped, but I did. And I went in. And I fell in love with a puppy. And I called my folks and I said "get yourselves over there tomorrow." And they hemmed and hawed and I pushed, and they went.

And they did not fall in love with the Poodkie puppy I cuddled. But they did fall head over heels for another puppy (one of five in the store, all a-door-bell as only miniature puppies can be), and she will be coming home on Tuesday.

I have a time-share puppy!

(shhh, nobody tell the cats!)

this is not her, but visually quite close

Puppy!
