Jack the Devil Cat: the most evil cat of all time!

November 13, 2008

Jack the Devil Cat Cats are evil. They make my eyes itch and induce asthma attacks that, on occasion, have almost killed me. Cats only let you pet them if you try as hard as you can to avoid them. The second you pay a cat any attention, it runs away. These kinds of mind [...]

Jack The Devil Cat Hey, did I ever tell you about that one time I hated cats? Oh, right, yeah, that’s because they are the bane of my entire existence. In fact, on the Official List of Things I Hate, nearly half of the items are cat-related. This includes but is not limited to: cats, [...]

Dumb Dog/Ridiculous Item of the Day: Courtesy of these pictures of Goliath that I shot with my LG VX6000 cell phone (R.I.P.). Interesting items to note include: how ridiculous these pictures are and Goliath’s continually developing neck fat (see red arrow or simply look at the neck fat flopping over the arm).

In case you thought the journal entry detailing my encounter with Kirsten Dunst and Jake Gyllenhaul was bogus, check out this magazine article that Jen found during her daily perusing. It’s the very same dog! Note how I’ve taken the pictures using my digital camera/cell phone to simulate my initial experience with “Lovey” the dog. [...]

I’ve come to a stopping point on my NRSA grant application, that is, I’ve written all that I can and submitted it to Dr. Carmichael to destroy with his red marker. Love this part of the process. Anyway, I have a bit of free time, so amidst the 2004 Tournament of Friends mayhem, I thought [...]

Today you have the privilege of meeting one of my favorite dumb dogs in recent memory, Chatters the greyhound. Chatters currently lives in New York with Kathy’s mom, though it is my understanding that she is quite the traveler. In fact, when I first met Chatters, I was standing in Brian/Josh’s dad’s kitchen in Pittsburgh [...]

And now for another edition of my world famous fun for the whole family pictorial series: Dumb Dog of the Day (DDD). Note that the first edition of DDD was actually yesterday; however, my creative juices were not flowing at their normal rate (88 MPH) and hence you are seeing the title “reloaded” and for [...]

I was on my way to the lab this morning when I came to a stop at the famed Westwood and Wilshire stoplight. You might remember this stoplight from any number of 20 minute periods you’ve waited for the light to turn green. On any other day, the wait would have driven me absolutely crazy, [...]

Christmas Day followed a similar pattern as previous Christmas’: wake up, open presents, listen to Nat King Cole while reflecting on how fortunate we are to receive such thoughtful gifts, fall asleep on living room floor, wake up to the sound of Marty watering the backyard patio in only his shorts and Reeboks, Marty yells [...]
