I have resolved to go buy appropriate dog foods this Sunday – boring old IAMS or Nutro kibbles, and, in a massive nod toward compromise, some canned food as well. I will bring these items home and put them in the pantry, and I will then throw the crap G’ma stocks right out into the garbage. The sheer wastefulness will, I hope, get her attention.
In which I unstress about the relationship between my dog and my grandmother. Bindu is fat and listless and can’t finish an entire dog walk around the perimeter of two city blocks. Her belly’s bloated. Her nose is dry and she’s tired all the time. She’s clearly not feeling well. The week Grandma was out […]
In which I have the house to myself for a week. My grandmother left today for a trip to Detroit with her bowling team. I get to bring in the mail, mow the lawn, feed the dogs (they’re getting dry kibbles and water and none of the other shit they’re used to), and drive her […]

In which my plans are quite suddenly changed. Saturday night my entire band had a long practice. After, Curtis and I went out and Becca showed up. We met a wine writer from Seattle and hung out with her all night, even dragged her to after hours for a bit. I got drunk. Around three […]
In which I roll out the stunning vista of my upcoming weekend. Booyah. (Srsly.) (The pace, it’s killing me.) Last night RB took me to see a band. We went mainly because the band in question gets A-list blues gigs here in the northwest, and we wanted to hear what the competition sounded like. They […]
In which I bitch and moan. It’s Saturday, and I’m at work. I’m cold. I’m tired. And I’ve already been on the phone for an hour and I’m usually not even out of bed by ten. My beloved dog made sad eyes at me when I left the house this morning. Oh, and I feel […]
