Watching this of course. Graham Coxon on the roof from SXSW while he picks his way across america fighting in Sorrow’s Army. Spinning top is due out by the middle of next month and I am watching for two things... this actual hard media delivery device. No digital false half love for Graham I go CD for Graham. In this world – thats a commitment!

And B... Scouring the web looking for when he’s gonna hit my town. ’Cause then I can have another chance to see him at work. In the mean time, I will be watching and listening to Sorrow fight in his Army. Over and over and over and over again. And now so can you...

Amanda Effin Palmer and Her Black Cab

Say what you will about her. She may know only 6 chords on the ukulele but that doesn’t stop her from bringing a classic back to life in the back of a black cab during an older blackcabsession that you will love...

It sends you away from me but thats how much i love this little ditty she diddy... Some people might think this is a questionable selection from a vast catalog of good stuff. But hey it is int he back of a cab. It is with a ukulele and her 6 known chords.

go give her some love and you should follow her on twitter you never know you might actually win a ticket to a free show some time. Now I just got meeself a little uke and now I have to go and learn a few more chords to keep up Ms. Palmer.

Peanut Butter Goodness

Mon, 16 Mar 2009 20:21:11 -0400

Found a recipe. It’s a good one. A good one meaning, it’s easy peasy. And I bet you have all the ingredients in the kitchen right now. Here is the link if you want to see more... http://www.bullwrinkle.com/Assets/Recipes/Peanut%20Butter%20Puppy%20Poppers.htm

But better than that. Here is the recipe. Human. Yeah You. You have a dog? Ah ya do. Well get gone and go make puppy poppers... now human. Now.

Homemade Dog Treat Recipe  Peanut Butter Puppy Poppers
2 cups whole-wheat flour  1 tbsp. baking powder  1 cup peanut butter (chunky or smooth)  1 cup milk
Preheat oven to 375'F. In a bowl, combine flour and baking powder. In another bowl, mix peanut butter and milk, then add to dry ingredients and mix well. Place dough on a lightly floured surface and knead. Roll dough to 1/4 inch thickness and use a cookie cutter to cut out shapes. Bake for 20 minutes on a greased baking sheet until lightly brown. Cool on a rack, then store in an airtight container. --- This is the original recipe, but I have found the cookies burn easily

Oh Snap... Someone must have upgraded

How else do you explain walkin away from your narcissistic self aggrandizing corner of the internets. But yea me thunks my human just bought a new batch of software that must have reminded his pea brain that I have adventures and people needs to know! So here we are again and hopefully this isn’t another of his fly-by-night obsessions like America’s Best Dance Crew was... Beat Freaks was robbed btw... watchout the microchips is everywahr.

I Took a Dive Today

Wed, 16 Jul 2008 15:07:04 -0400

It wasn’t planned. I am still kinda pissed at myself for even doing it. We took a bay boat over to Long Point (tip of the cape... the very tip... the tip of the tip) and there he was, the human was out of the boat. I don’t know why he was out of the boat but the human was out of the boat and I was not having that. So out I went. Jackknife and all off the side of the bay boat and right into the drink. Like a rock. I have little legs and this isn’t fair. But there I went and now here I am still coughing the Atlantic out of my lungs.

Happy place. Happy place. Happy place. Biscuits. Carrots.
Here are a few better memories.
