Day 7 moral is low, the dog is beginning to look tasty

So happy New Year and all that crap.

Pie and spent New Years Eve (and New Years Eve Eve) at the Red Lion in Seattle. Now it must be a sign that we’re getting old and crusty but instead of the usual drunken revelry we ushered in 2007 playing Clue and drinking fruit juice. It was all clean wholesome fun until the drunken trogites in the room next door came back at 1.30am drunkenly screaming. At around 2.30am I finally manned up and called the front desk pleading for help, and at 3.30am we we’re finally rewarded with them shutting the **** up. I finally managed to get to sleep but poor Pie got to here them returning at 5.30am.

It was funny that we were more relaxed when we got back to our old house then the countless dollars we poured into the hotel and eating out.

So my new project is still looking for a singer. It amazes me that people e-mail me about how interested they are then never both contacting me again (see previous blog entry when my last band was looking for a singer). Even worse are the freaks of nature on MySpace who contact me. One of them regaled me with prose about dead Elvis’s bloated corpse, thanks mate I’ll pass.

Poor little Olly is recovering from a case of Colitis. He seems to get ill once a year and require me pouring lots of money into the vet. Oh well at least I got it over with early this year. He seems to feeling a little more chipper, well as chipper as a basset hound ever gets anyway.

Pie and I saw the Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe this weekend, and I have to stay I was very impressed. The kids weren’t sickly sweet and it stuck pretty faithfully to the book (so Pie tells me).

I’ve had a couple of douzies of Nightmares in the last couple of weeks, in which Pie got injured both times. I think it’s been inspired by the countdown to Armageddon I saw on the History Channel, well that’ll teach me next time. It has somewhat acted as a call to arms to me about being more environmentally friendly (I am kind of a tree hugger anyway).

The snow and ice have finally started to melt away so after being stuck at home for the last week I should be going back to the office tomorrow. For some reason Federal Way got hit way harder then usual, we got 5 -6 inches last week and a further 2 on Monday with an unseasonable cold snap keep it all from melting (got to love the Greenhouse effect). I feel sorriest for the dogs having to walk around dragging their happy parts through the ice and snow, truly it’s a dogs life.
