ooh, look at me, posting from facebook

facebook's wall was always a pseudo-comment thread off the posting that is your profile...so why not post directly from this social network that college kids spend more than 3 hours a day with?

i feel so good, i'm gonna make this face in ecstasy!

2010 Update: This post was my first attempt at creating a Vox blog post from Facebook, and I took this picture of our now President (!) in an overflow room during his 2008 speaking tour to promote his soon-to-be-campaign. 

puppy woes

poor Rocky IV has got a bug.  he was fixed on thursday, and by saturday he was a-hurting and excreted at both ends in weird colors to prove it.  at one point i had to hold his ears back and push his cone down so he wouldn't puke back into his face. 

a depressing and smelly weekend, indeed.  but my maternal instinct has boosted my patience for cleaning up liquid mysteries and trying to console a hunched over shivering puppy the best that i can.  i made some plans for this weekend, but i can't leave this little guy alone.  i even cooked him chicken and rice for dinner.  the last time i remember actively buying chicken to cook was in massachusetts for quesadillas. 

i hope the vet picks up soon; their line has been busy for 20 minutes.

Old picture from when he was a puppy on his first day outside.  this weekend is also the first bit of nice spring weather in new york, so add to the disappointment on missing out on that.

i hope Rocky IV will shake this off in case we can't go to the vet tomorrow.  either way, he has to decrease his level of suffering so i can have the heart to put his cone back on.
