Another bitch in the family

The half Labrador, half Askal puppy we adopted from Peloy, that is. The resident bitch being me ^_^ We named her Percy Bruce, or Gur for short. We are a weird family, I know.

Percy Bruce came from that episode of I Am Weasel where Weasel and Baboon work as replacement children (they 'replace' children who go off to summer camp so the parents won't miss their kids.) Baboon 'replaces' the li'l boy, Percy Bruce, while Weasel 'replaces' the sister Priscilla. It's one of our favorite episodes--my favorite line is Weasel's, when he says quite scornfully to Baboon, "Mommy loves you best but you're just a stinky armpit!"

Gur, if I got the spelling correct, is of course, Invader Zim's pet/minion.

Fry wasn't very happy about the intrusion of a smelly dog into the household. First time she saw it she started spitting and hissing and her tail went all bushy. I had to whisk away the puppy, with Fry in hot pursuit, until I locked myself and the puppy in the den. Fry was on the other side of the sliding glass doors, looking absolutely wrathful. After a while she went away.

Now Fry just avoids the puppy as much as possible. Except when I feed the puppy. Fry makes a nuisance of herself--she wants to be fed first (even if she's already been fed).

Percy Bruce (the puppy)  is fast becoming neurotic. Being around so many cats can't be good for her. I think she thinks she's a kitten. She absolutely loves playing with strings, chasing them around and pouncing on them (the way kittens do).

It is still my fervent wish that Percy Bruce and Fry will eventually beocme the best of friends.

Riiight.

 

These are our salad days, when we are green in judgment

That's a Shakespearean quote...I think. Anyway I feel like I'm in a salad whose ingredients being tossed around by some deranged chef.

I have to get off my mental ass and start writing again. My ass is mental? I mean I must get my mind off its lazy behind--do minds have derrieres? Cow (from Cow and Chicken) has a tongue that has an ass...Oh, whatever, I'm not making sense.

*sigh*

Met up with Apwil and Yonina last week. We had a nice dinner--I've certainly missed them. Got home pretty late, but Yonina drove me home, so that was okay. (Thanks, Yons!)

Also had an overnight stay with Dell and Peloy, who thankfully did not start gyrating (?) in front of me, as they are wont to do, as Gabby tells me. We had a movie marathon that included God of Cookery, Bowling for Columbine, and Kurosawa's Dreams. Peloy insisted on a break after Bowling to discuss the film, which, to say the least, blew us away. 0_o

I must stop dilly-dallying and get on with doing my research for the papers in all my classes! Perhaps I can scare myself into doing research--I am imagining my professors (male and female) in dominatrix suits brandishing whips. *ulk* Bad mental picture--deletedeletedeletedeletedelete!!!!

Well that didn't work.

Fine, I'll just go early to school today and spend some quality time at the library before my 5 pm class.
