Joho the Hobo

My parents bought me a jacket my sophomore year in boarding school. It was probably my first real winter coat. I thought it was cool, had a hood that could be zipped off...and was nice and big...Though for some reason my friends didn't hang out with me as much when I wore it.

Probably because its a horrible looking coat. Like something that was thrown out and a homeless person would wear. I guess at least I have a coat to wear when I am homeless, so if you see a homeless person on the east coast looking like this, its probably me.

Oh and of course I would have a bottle of booze to keep me 'warm'.
Okay I was really bored today, this wasn't a 'Funday' at all.

Sunday, That's my Funday...Not my 'I gotta Runday'

The first day of real snow was today. It was also freezing. Woke up to a message on my windshield left by Manthan, he probably thinks he's so cool.

After church my dad and I headed over to the cottage to drop of a bed frame and pick up a carpet for the aunt. The cottage is such a mess, its turned into a giant shelter for junk. Can't wait to get all the ridiculous stuff out of it, such as two couches, two tables, a book self, grill, 5 chairs...the list goes on...it was really cold since the place isn't insulated and the electricity is shut off.


Below is a picture of the front of the cottage, at least it looks alright from the outside.The next picture is the road leading up to the cottage.

Fiddler On the Roof

After visiting Daisy, we went to the play house. Took a while to get a parking spot and ended up paying 5 bones for parking at the theater. I guess thats an alright deal because you're right there at the theater. For some reason the play house looked bigger 9 years ago.
The play was alright, maybe if there was a live orchestra it would have been better or maybe a fog machine. Okay I wasn't crazy about it, maybe because I was extremely hungry and needed a bagel or something.

After the play we headed over to Peddlers Village to try and get a seat at the Cock n' Bull restaurant. We tried making reservations earlier but failed. When we got there they told us the wait would be at least two and half hours, meaning we'd be sitting down at around 9:30pm. We tried finding another place. Ended up at Hart's Tavern. Waited out in the cold for like 20 min and another 10 min in the Tavern. I entertained myself by blowing "O's" with my breath which I've never done before.
For dinner I had a bowl of French Onion Soup, we also ordered some crazy supreme nachos, Manthan got the cheese nachos (silly vegetarian), some buffalo wings, and for the main course I got the swiss alps burger. I also drank 3 Guinness. I was so full...

The entire village was pretty well lit for Christmas, if only it wasn't so cold that night or maybe if I had some warmer clothes on it would have been more enjoyable.

Crazy Daisy

Headed to Bucks County Play House this past Saturday with the parents and my friend Manthan. On the way up we stopped by the Veterinarian to check on Daisy. They brought her in on a blanket. She looked a little better, or maybe I was just hoping she was better than the day before. She seemed more alert though.
After coming back from the play and dinner, went back to the vet and the doctor had some good news, she said Daisy seemed to be more hydrated but was not sure her kidneys were functioning better, and that they would have a better idea of how she was doing in 24 hours. But she started walking again and we just have to hope she starts eating again. Because her kidneys are so bad she constantly feels nauseous and doesn't feel like moving or eating.

All Dogs Go to Heaven

My dog Daisy, is a Shetland Sheep dog. Also known as a Shelty, or a miniature Collie...you pick. I believe she was born on February 15, 1993, or was it 1992...she's at least 14 years old. I was about 7 years old when I got her.

I tried to be such a good owner, but I was only seven years old. I checked out dog books and watched dog videos...I never let her eat candy and I brushed her teeth after everything bath. Though my interest in taking care of her diminished when I went off to boarding school...I have always felt like she had a better liking to my Dad. Probably because he was always round. Or maybe it was because when I was little I would call her to the backyard from my window...and when she finally realized that I was calling her from the window I'd drop a water balloon on her...or it could have been that time we played 'cowboys and indians' and I would hog tie her with a jump rope...or the egg roll, wrapping her up in a blanket so tight it took her a good 5 minutes to wiggle out.

Lately she's been acting really old. Daisy has really bad arthritis, can barely walk, hear, and her sight isn't that great either.

Daisy has practically stopped eating and hasn't moved much at all. We finally took her to the Veterinarian to get some blood tests and found out that her kidneys are not doing their job. We had the vet give us an estimate and talked it over at home about our options. We finally decided to go ahead with the procedure.

I decided to give her a bath before taking her back...
She then smelled like wet dog so I put a little Febreeze on her...
Took her back to the vet and they said they would put her on some fluids to try and clean her kidneys out.

Panic! At the Quizzo!

With my crazy busy schedule I manage to plan to go to New Deck Tavern with Ryan for some food and later some crazy quizzo action. Ryan had to do some stuff before meeting up with me so I just chilled at his place with the roomies Ricky and Adam.

They have a cat. Named Buckwheat...pretty sure that's the first time I've heard that name for a pet. This cat takes so much abuse but always comes back to play, lick, and bite just enough to make it annoying but not enough to cause bleeding. Two seconds in the place I sit down on the couch and the cat runs up my leg and mounts my head and starts licking my hair...for a good 20 seconds. Its kind of hard to take a picture of yourself or for anyone to take you seriously with a cat on your head...

Probably see something like this in lolcats or something..After that and like 2 minutes of playing Wii Mario Party, Ryan and I headed to New Deck around 8pm to get a table and some food before Quizzo started and so everyone would have a place to sit. I had the patty melt which was pretty good and Ryan had the hickory burger and onion soup. I wish I had gotten the onion soup, nothing better than onion soup during winter time.

So of course once Ryan thought we had enough chairs for the four of us we call Adam and he says he's bringing 2 girls with him...and then Ricky says its just one girl...and then Adam comes with two...but we got the waitress to pull over a table for two so everything worked out, this time. Quizzo goes down at 10pm and lasts til 12:00.

Here is Ryan and Ricky.
Adam..Adam's two lady friends (Michelle and Andrea) because apparently one girl isn't good enough for him...
They asked the most ridiculous questions. Three rounds of ten questions and a a bonus round of matching or fill in the blank. I only knew one question, "Who was the European that lead a group of Arabs to Damascus in 1916..." and of course it had to be Lawrence of Arabia! So of course we didn't win anything. I guess the most fun part of Quizzo is hearing the team names. Ours was "What was UPenn police doing at Wizards?" or something like that. The worst team name had to have been "3 Guys, 1 Cup" which is just sick nasty.

After failing miserably at Quizzo, headed back to Ryan's and was entertained by a robot reindeer and Buckwheat.



I guess I'll throw in another video since I have it...



I then headed to Rich's and John's to see how their Finance studying was going, though didn't look like they got anything done while I was there. Left for home at 2:20 am, texted someone and went to bed at like 3:30 am.

Chair of Ridiculous...

I guess my mom really wants to lose some weight. She was in great shape after she had my three sisters...but once I was born...

So of course she buys those crazy machines that you see on those infomercials. I believe the first major one was the ab curl...i forget what its called but its that ridiculous thing to help you do sit-ups. Then my mom bought the sauna belt, which really just makes you lose water weight and probably nothing else. This brings us to the Chi Machine...a little box that costs 500 bones that is suppose to "center" your chi. I call it the fish machine, because you rest your ankles on it and it shakes you like a fish...

Now for one of the most ridiculous contraptions that my mom has every bought. My parents should really have my consent before buying anything. Of course its not that way and we just accumulate more junk in the house. You're suppose to sit on this chair...there is no off button you have to unplug it...the chair then moves in a circle and its suppose to work your abs. Which is just ridiculous. It feels like the chair is going to through you off it, its like a tame mechanical bull...like a mechanical bull for toddlers...that's 350 bones...So yeah, pictures don't do it justice so I had to upload a video.
