going puppy to puppy

A few months ago, my boyfriend’s then-roommate brought home a package of toilet paper intended for consumers with children of the potty-training age. On the TP, spaced five or six sheets apart, were puppies in various jungle scenes. The idea was simple: children were to follow the paw prints that separated the dogs until they reached a puppy. Once the child tore at the puppy, he or she would have acquired roughly five sheets of toilet paper, an amount the manufacturers declared average for one wipe.

We three (my boyfriend, his roommate, and I) took to the training-paper immediately. We were nearing the end of our undergraduate careers with no set plans for the future. There was so much we wanted to do; there was so little we knew how to do. We imagined potty-trainers and we envied them. How confident they must be! we thought, sure to find a guide dog at the end of those paw prints.

There are no toiletries to guide the recent graduate. Nor is there a standard amount of time between graduation and “what I want to do with my life.” More and more graduates are pursuing temporary careers, putting law school, etc. on hold. I am no exception. I plan, eventually, to enroll in a graduate program and get my Ph.D in Literature, but not quite yet. This blog will serve as a record of my time in the paw prints.

Oh, puppy, dear dear puppy, I wish I had written you the final entry you deserved.

I didn’t.

I am going to try to be a better mommy to this one:

I’m sorry this is the first post I’ve made in so long. I’ve been doing a ton of reading, thinking, writing. I am ~~brushing up on my~~ learning French. Also trying to relearn web design (maintenance). My brain hasn’t been this excited in months. I am going back to school. Hallelujah.

I became a little disheartened last night when I realized that even the grand prize on Top Chef ($100,000) wouldn’t pay off my student loans.

Also I saw Brian Posehn on the street last night. I told him I loved him. He said “Thank You.”

Max and I were on the news! Also the red door in a shot in the beginning is ours. I must say, the cameraman filmed me from an EXTREMELY attractive angle. And look how glorious and wind-swept my hair is! Hahahahaha.

The video was shot in two locations- my block, and another corner a few blocks away which just happens to be where I work! You can see the blue Eviama banner in the background of the shots where the reporter is talking. Also I spelled my name into the microphone but that h showed up anyway.

from "philadelphia weekly"

“Food and Friends: The guys behind the counter pick the music for this hipster disco. Bop to the back wall for an expansive selection of Belgians. Notably, F&F lists prices on both its sixes and its individual bottle selection. Pray that becomes a trend.”

Max is the guy behind the counter. And guess who made the decision to label the individual bottles?

SEA-KITTENS.

“Of course, if you look at it another way, what all this really means is that fish need to fire their PR guy—stat. Whoever was in charge of creating a positive image for fish needs to go right back to working on the Britney Spears account and leave our scaly little friends alone. You’ve done enough damage, buddy. We’ve got it from here. And we’re going to start by retiring the old name for good. When your name can also be used as a verb that means driving a hook through your head, it’s time for a serious image makeover. And who could possibly want to put a hook through a sea kitten?”

PETA, ARE YOU SERIOUS? IS THIS REALLY THE BEST WAY TO SAVE THE ANIMALS? YOU FAIL AS AN ORGANIZATION.
p.s. I am eating fish for dinner. So is my cat.
