So we have this new puppy, Stella, right?
She's super - cute, and loves people and other dogs.
So, you know how you have to walk dogs outside so they can do their business and everything?
Well, in NYC this must be done (if you live on a busy - haha I typed "busty" - street like we do) in crowds of varying size depending on the day and time.
MAN!!!!!!!
We cannot get 15 feet without someone stopping us and saying "oh a puppy, how cute, is it a boy or girl, how old is she, what breed, how big will she get, she doesn't look like a shepherd to me, blah balh blah.
Now, Stella LOVES this.
And I don't particularly mind.
It's kinda fun sometimes.
It's just that what should be a 10 minute walk can turn, quite literally, a 40 minute walk.
Everyone's either too informed and giving advice we'll never follow, or they're completely ignorant and asking tons of boring questions.
Last night I walked her at 3:00am, having attended a friend's show, and jesus christ!
Drunk people LOVE puppies!
They're all very nice, and most of them are girls (!), but what was to a quick "pee trip" turned into 1/2 an hour of standing outside a bar as streams of mildly inebriated yuppies came by and played with her.
Again, she LOVES it, so it's not necesarily a bad thing, but I never saw this side of urban puppy ownership coming!
So yeah, look at my cute and beautiful family ( I'm the only one who isn't)!
This is in Vermont last week:
I promised LadyK a T.S. Eliot poem.
Remember, it's "If Poets Wrote Poems Whose Titles Were Anagrams of Their Names":
Toilets
By T.S. Eliot
Let us go then, to the john,
Where the toilet seat waits to be sat upon
Like a lover's lap perched upon ceramic;
Let us go, through doors that do not always lock,
Which means you ought to knock
Lest opening one reveal a soul within
Who'll shout, "Stay out! Did you not see my shin,
Framed within the gap twixt floor and stall?"
No, I did not see that at all.
That is not what I saw, at all.
To the stall people come to go,
Reading an obscene graffito.
We have lingered in the chamber labeled MEN
Till attendants profer aftershave and mints
As we lather up our hands with soap and rinse.
Do you know how pretty my friend Shirley is?????
Now you do.
Do you play WoW?
I'm going to play for the first time tonight.
I wanna find the SG server.
Yes, I play video games.
Fuck you!
JUST WONDERIN:
1) What do you like best on your french fries?
2) Do you believe the ends justify the means?
3) What deodorant (if any) do you use?
4) Coke or Pepsi?
5) Have you made out with a member of the same sex as you?
2) Do you believe the ends justify the means? Hell no.
3) What deodorant (if any) do you use? Au naturale. Adidas absorbant-deo if I need to be not sweaty at the gym. haha
4) Coke or Pepsi? How you think I got so damn skinny?
5) Have you made out with a member of the same sex as you? Alas, no. . .
Try walking a pitbull pup. You get stopped by eeeeeeveryone, and then they act forrified when I tell them what breed she is.
The man says Sienna was great to work with (he also praised her great ass!) As well, he says Guy is spot-on with his character - and he's a wonderful person. The original script was terrible, but they've been rewriting/reshooting since last December.......all in pursuit of the almighty Oscar! The director is a smart guy - we'll see what happens.
Critics are screening 12/29........premiere is in January. It's got buzzzzzzzzzzz.......
