i may be hairy, a little insane and occasionally neglected, but i'm also amorous, lucky and double irresistible! if you have no idea what i'm talking about, have a look at the post before this one - because that's what my name acronym generator told me, anyway. i'd like to see *that* on a business card. this weekend, i got sucked in by those poorly-produced television ads and dragged mark to some liquidation sales at the showgrounds. we actually had to pay $4 to park the car. there is something about a warehouse sale that depresses me - i wander around aimlessly, thinking to myself 'is this what my life has come to? scrambling for bargains and queuing for the attention of surly cashiers?'. but i can't help myself, i have to go to them myself and check them out. so i wandered around and picked things up and put them down again, and mark and i decided to get our $4 worth, we would go for a wander and check out some dog shows that were happening nearby. there were shi-tzus, mini border collies and some bulldogs. the mini border collies were the cutest - they looked trapped in puppy-dom. the owners were a whole other kettle of fish, though - if you though 'best in show' was exaggerated, let me tell you, it wasn't. they were all there! i had a reality tv-overload sunday night. even though i'd read that fantasia won american idol, i must admit i got a bit teary when she sang the obligatory inspirational oh-wow-i'm-your-new-idol song. i'm so very, very happy that diana degarmo didn't win. she was cheesier than triple cheese doritos and cutsey-er than minnie mouse on 'e'. and before you start asking why that bothers me so much, let me just remind you - christina, justin and britney started out as mouseketeers. 'nuff said.
