Stuff

I have coughed so much that, if I were puffing a sailboat across the ocean, I would have been there and be heading back by now. Each cough also makes me feel as if I am slowly being sawed in half by a piano wire. Can't wait to get home and refil the hot vaporizer.

On other fronts, this whole Ollie Isabella stuff is really getting odd. Little dog Ollie insisted on going out late last night. I tried to talk him out of it, I wanted to go to bed but he insisted and I gave in. No sooner was he at the door when Isabella comes tearing down the hallway grumbling under her breath and demands to be let out as well. ISABELLA NEVER UNDERLINED HIGHLIGHTED BELLS AND WHISTLES never goes out side. Ever. But since I was there anyway and she was getting more and more vocal, I let her out. Where she promptly sat on the porch and waited..... for Ollie... a dog she hasn't said two word to in her entire life. Ollie comes up on the porch, they come in together and Ollie gets his frozen meatball and (can you tell where this is going) Isabella had to have one as well. She only sniffed hers and walked awy so I guess that means Ollie got two.

I've stopped seeing the 11:11 time thing and hope the 3:33 and the 4:44 that have cropped up means nothing. And yes, I have taken to shouting at the universe when it happens and telling them to CUT IT OUT! What good is knowing something is going to happen when you can't stop it or change it. I would rather NOT know.

People are idiots. I was watching Face Off last night. It's a show on Syfy where.. uh oh... my train of thought derailed.... it's a show where, they're not makeup artists exactly more like special effects makeup people compete weekly to see who goes home. Like project Runway on steriods ad nightmares. Anyway, I'm watching the first show on demand and the task was to make hums look like an animal human mutant and they had 3 animals to choose from, an Elephant, an ostrich and a beetle.

An aside here.... I don't expect people to have the love of animals that I have or to know the useless trivia that I know but for god's sake doesn't everyone know that Ostriches can't fly? The guy who asked if ostriches could fly also asked if they had teeth. Then someone wandered by and said not to get within three feet of the bird because it would peck an eye out. Someone get the eye patch. Of course all of them forgetting the fact that one swift ostrich kick could rip them open like a bag of dollar store candy. Then the other ostrich team ends up making their model look like daisy duck on crack and if my internet would behave I'd post it here, or a link but I don't think that will happen.

Last night they had to body paint naked models to either blend in with a certain background or look as if they were wearing clothes in this background. So the first guy to pick chooses an African American girl standing in front of a poster of the rain forest. This guy in all sincerity says the reason he picked her and that was that with her hair he could make he look like a lion. Huh? GRASSLANDS you idiot. You find lions in GRASSLANDS in AFRICA!

If they are these whoopdedoodle special effects artists don't you think that would have to have some knowledge of animals and the way they are put together? Besides, female lions don't have manes.

There are times when I think I would like to live under a rock instead of getting nibbled to death by ducks.... or ostriches.
