February 25, 2012: Lunch with my former arch-nemesis! It’s broken so fix it already! A Supermovie of the Week reminder!
Why, it's Ashleigh - my former assistant/occasional vegetarian dinner companion/arch-nemesis. Notice something different about her? That's right. She's married!

February 24, 2012: The boys reconvene for blood, battle, and Vietnamese sandwiches! Ivon and Lulu sitting in a tree…! It aint good news for Cookie Monster!
My french bulldog Lulu has a crush on my buddy Ivon Bartok. It's pretty damn obvious the way she throws herself at him whenever he comes visit, sitting on his lap, sneezing in his face, lying down beside him and lovingly passing gas. Yesterday morning, I told her that Ivon would be coming to visit,…

Wow. Not even 24 hours have passed since you all started casting your ballots for the next installment in our Supermovie of the Week Club and Condorman has already built a commanding lead.

We took the dogs out for a walk today, taking advantage of a brief window of sunniness in an otherwise rainy day. Jelly surprised by completing an entire walk around the block.
