what should I do?

My cats are hyper. We gave them a paper bag and stu is using it as a bunker to plan his attack on Lulu.

We just watched murder ball and Henry Fool. One was good one was stupid. I'll give you a clue the one with wheel chair and quad sex....well that was pretty interesting.

I am now watching Saturday Night Live and yesterday I went to a work party.

I may be stuck in a rut in terms of entertaining myself. Any suggestions?

I just watched a horrible and creepy dateline murder mystery. I am not sure what possessed me to do so but there we were. It was about a husband who not only stabbed his wife to death, but cut off her fingers and sawed off her teeth so that no one could identify the body. Pretty gross huh. This brings me the point that I am creeped out by death. The video of Sadaam being hung haunted my dreams for weeks. I can't even walk by a cemetery without feeling sick to my stomach. I remember the day that my psyche changed. As a child we went sledding in the cemetary and climbed on gravestones for fun....and then one day it hit me...there were dead and decomposing bodies underfoot. That was that. I am so scared of deadness. In fact I am kind of mad that dateline thinks that it is ok to talk about sawing teeth off a body. The end. That was a poorly written and non interesting post but I am too put off by dateline to write anything else.

Oh by the way for any burlingtonian reading that is indeed an image of our former playplace.

Supposedly my computer is fixed. I'm not convinced.

The only president....

Well I have encountered an unusual phenomenon. In the last 2 days I have spent 10 hours cleaning and rearranging the special education office/classroom. I enjoyed every second of it. However, my own house and bedroom are in total dissary and yet I can hardly spend 3 seconds on cleaning that. Why?

Oh and in the process of cleaning the special education office I found a photo book of all the former presidents. I think Thomas Jefferson was the only president with bangs. I feel like there should be more publicity about this.

Although I intended to blog everyday this week, my laptop is in the shop so I have been more sporadic than intended.

Noises

Due to a surprising popular demand by the 2 people who posted I am going to write about the continuous gagging vomiting noise my father makes. The only issue with blogging about this topic is that there is not very much to say except that I hate this noise that my father makes. I think the moral of the story is that when we get old we certainly lose our dignity. This could be a societal issue I mean we put our elderly relatives in homes to allow strangers to give them baths rather than to do it ourselves. Well I just wrote another 2 paragraphs on this topic but erased it because it was too depressing and rather unenlightening.

The topic I really wanted to write about was vegan pizza, and although this topic may come up a lot and there may seemingly be no revalations that could be made about dairy free pizza--there are! First of all I wanted to let the world know that I am somewhat of a celebrity in the small world of vegan pizza. When in Boston recently I happened into TJ Scallywags (an all vegan pizza joint). The man behind the counter was very eager and we chatted. Turn out there are only 2 completely vegan pizza stores in the entire USA (perhaps the world) and it is very possible that I am the only human who has eaten at both. The man behind the counter made me write a testamonial to this effect and hung it on the wall. Well tell your friends folks right here in Madison lives Allison Milley who has frequeted both Pizza Pi and TJ Scallywags.

Also on the vegan pizza front the coop now carries Toffuti brand pizza which tastes exactly like elios pizza (which means it is very tasty).

I don't know if I can trust my veiwers' opinions anymore about what to write. It is clear that pizza was a much better topic that disgusting noises ruminating from my dad.

I think I am ready

It is time for me to start blogging. I have a week off from work and nothing to do. I must admit that I am a bit nervous about the whole thing. However, I am thinking about how much I love reading my brother's blog and I want to give that pleasure to others. OK, so I guess the next step is gathering ideas for topics... here is a list of ideas that I am tossing around. However it is important to note that these early blogs will dictate the tone of all of my future blogging and therefore I must choose my topics carefully...

1. The idea of human perfection and how all parents think they deserve nothing less than a "perfect baby"
2. My father's inabilty to contol the horrible gagging/vomiting noise he makes
3. My cats and how cute they look in clothes
4. veganism and pizza
5. veganism and shoes
6. society's perception of disabilities
7. shopping and my distaste for it
8. my recent puzzle sucess
9. high school friends
10. issues over how hot the house should be kept
11. Christmas

Ok folks cast your votes on what you what to read about. Otherwise I think I will just go down the list.
