Krusty has been barfing up a lot little pools of liquid for several nights in a row. At first they just looked like spit - so I assumed she had a hairball she was trying to get up. Then, on Thursday night, the liquid she coughed up looked reddish-brown, almost like blood. So I called the vet on Friday to try to get a Saturday appointment. They said they couldn't see her until Tuesday. I said okay, maybe she isn't puking up blood. Then Friday night she hacked up a big pool of stuff, this time more reddish than brown. I called the vet again first thing Saturday morning. They had a cancellation! Hooray. I took Krusty in. She wasn't acting like her usual self. Normally she's real curious and not concerned at all about ANYTHING. But on Saturday she was shaking and didn't even look around much.
The vet listened to Krusty's symptoms and said it could be a huge variety of things: Krusty swallowed something sharp that cut her insides, something in her lungs, something in her stomach, etc. An X-ray, a urinalysis, several blood tests, and $200 later, we had the cause: Krusty is getting an ulcer. She had a lot of gas in her intestines (which the vet kindly showed me on the X-ray) and the fluid she was coughing up was stomach acid. Yuck. And guess what else? Krusty is developing kidney stones! She's definitely got some calcium deposits in her kidneys.
What does all that mean? Well, we gave Krusty some Pepcid AC for her stomach and the vet gave her a shot of fluid for her slight dehydration. They inject the fluid under the skin which is then absorbed into the body throughout the day. It made her look like Quasimodo for the afternoon. Then most of it was gone except for a wad that slipped down to her elbow, so then she looked like Popeye for a while. As for the kidney stones, there's absolutely nothing we can do about it. The vet recommended a yearly urinalysis to keep track of them.
Poor Krusty.

TV is my LIFE!
More reviews of new tv shows...
How I Met Your Mother - I had a very tough decision to make here. See, Alyson Hannigan from Buffy is on this show. And Nicholas Brendon from Buffy is on Kitchen Confidential - which is shown at the EXACT SAME TIME!!! It's not fair. So, I thought about it and then decided that I like Willow better than Xander. Just a little. Anyhow, this show was pretty good. The main guy was somewhat amusing. Alyson was great, as I knew she would be. But the surprise breakout star of the show - Doogie Howser! My FAVORITE part: Main guy says, "See that girl over there?" and Doogie answers, "Oh yeah, you KNOW she likes it dirty." HA! This show might not get cancelled.
My Name is Earl - Oh my god, this was hysterical. First of all, I'd like to just throw out there that I am a HUGE Jason Lee fan. And while he looks kind of nasty and dirty in this show, he's still just as lovable. And Jaime Pressley as the trailer-trash ex-wife was perfect casting. Excellent show. Made me laugh out loud several times. Please please please don't get cancelled.
Everybody Hates Chris - The constant voice-overs by Chris Rock got to be annoying about halfway through. But I loved the parents. They were great. The kids were just kind of there. And the plot was just kind of not-there. Don't think I'll watch it unless there's nothing else on.
Invasion, Surface, Ghost Whisperer, and Inconceivable - Tivo'd but haven't gotten around to watching yet.
Threshold (from last week) - I finally DID get around to watching this and thought it was pretty good. Timmy has such a crush on the little French Bulldog, Monster. Now he wants one. I think our next dog might end up being a French Bulldog. You know, in about 15 years or so. Maybe he'll have gotten over his obsession by then. Monster was pretty awesome, even I have to admit. Oh yeah, the show was alright too.
Returning Shows:
The Office - Wonderful. You all need to watch this show.
Still Standing - More of the same. Amusing little show that makes me giggle. Good times.
Lost - Okay, nothing happened AGAIN. WHY the hell do I keep watching? Pssst.... it's because of Hurley.
ER - Tivo'd but haven't watched yet. Hey, I've been busy!
This week we've got new Charmed, Grey's Anatomy and Medium. And maybe I'll get around to watching last week's shows. Oh by the way, just heard that Head Cases got cancelled. Too bad.

I've Been Busy
Sorry. Finally got started on my big scrapbook project. I've been working on it every day for the past week. I'm halfway through - Hooray! In the process, I'm neglecting just about everything else.
New Falls Shows, Part Two
Bones: About a forensic anthropologist and a cop who solve crimes and exchange witty banter. I liked it. It will almost assuredly be cancelled. How many of these cop/science shows can be on the air anyway?
Supernatural: Two brothers fight demons. I was bored.
Twins: A beautiful airhead underwear model and her genius but not-so-attractive fraternal twin sister run a lingerie company. I giggled a few times, but mostly it was lame.
Head Cases: Crazy lawyers. It was a lot better than I was expecting. The guy who is not Chris O'Donnell is especially great. Will probably be cancelled within the month.
Threshold: Something about aliens. I haven't watched it yet, but Timmy said it was okay. He said it would be even better if they would just get to the point already.
This week is the big premiere week. I'll have lots of new and returning shows to comment on! Yay!
PS. I've lost 15 pounds...

New Fall Shows, Part One
Prison Break
The concept: A guy goes to jail in order to break out his brother, who is on death row.
Awesome. Amazing. So smart. I'm worried about what they'll do next season, AFTER they break out of the prison but for now I'm enjoying the ride. The thing with the toe freaked me out even though I knew it was coming (read it in Entertainment Weekly.) I'm a big Link the Sink fan from when he was on John Doe (why did you get cancelled?) And the main guy, Michael Scofield, what a sexy bitch! He's got the hottest little know-it-all smirk.
Reunion
The concept: Each show is another year in the lives of 6 friends leading up to the present when one of them kills the other.
A little disappointing. They tried so hard to cram all the timely references into the first episode that it was annoying. The pink alligator logo shirts, the Risky Business quotes, the Madonna wanna-be's, the relentless 80's music. I think they could have been more subtle and it would have worked a lot better. And the writing is kind of soap opera-ish. I'll give it a few more weeks before giving up.
This week: Bones (new David Boreanaz show) and Supernatural (supposed to be like Buffy but with boys).

Hail to the Redskins, etc.
Timmy and I went to the Redskins' season opener yesterday. I got two tickets to the company box (Yessssssss!) The seats were great and there was tons of free food! The COO of the company sat next to Timmy and started gossiping about all the rich folks in the suites next to ours. The Redskins won 9-7.
A couple of things stand out in my mind:
1. When we got there I immediately ate 2 huge hot dogs and drank a beer. Then I got the worst heartburn ever. In the 3rd quarter I went on a quest for antacids that took me all over the stadium. I finally found an ice cream vendor. It helped, but I was afraid to eat anything else for fear the heartburn would come back. I think Timmy made up for it, he ate everything in sight.
2. Whorish Shoe Girl's friend "Paris" also came to the game with her boyfriend. She heard that Jessica Simpson was at the game and would not stop talking about it. Seriously.
3. The Washington Metro - still the best and easiest way to get anywhere.
Totally unrelated but I wanted to share - the Annoying Neighbors were apparently waiting for their utility lines to be marked before starting their fence. They have lines spray-painted all over their yard now, should be any day now. Hoooooray!

The Return of the Sweetest Co-Worker Ever
The Sweetest Co-Worker Ever came back to work at my company this week. The first time she was hired, I trained her to be my replacement in the office. Now she's back, and again I'm training her to do my old job - this time working in the field. I don't mind, because after all, she is the Sweetest Co-Worker Ever. She is soooo sweet, even the most ornery, cantankerous, not-so-nice people in the office just melt when she is around. How does she do it? What is this strange power she possesses? Don't you just hate the fact that you cannot hate these kind of people? It is impossible not to like them. Argh.
I love Sweetest Co-Worker Ever. I'm glad she's back. She's so fun.

Hobnobbing with the Big Wigs and Stuffed Shirts
Last night Timmy and I went to a museum charity auction/wine tasting soiree. It proved to me that just because you have money doesn't mean you have class. There was a guy there who cut off a HUGE chunk of brie, then picked it up with his fingers and walked off with it. Another guy was eating piece after piece of salmon, while standing over the salmon platter. And don't even get me started on the group of "fine ladies" who were hogging the shrimp!
As for some of the fashion statements, well, that's a whole nother story. The dress code was supposed to be ties for the men and "above business" for the ladies. The guys from my office wore ties, but took them off and stuffed them in their pockets within 15 minutes of arriving. (They also pretty much stayed right next to the beer table all night.) One older guy there was wearing a lime green bow tie, a pale yellow shirt, and pink pants. He was awesome. Another guy was wearing a nice shirt, tie and jacket, but with pepto bismol pink pants. MOST of the women were wearing dresses. One woman, and she had to be 40 year old, was wearing a black baby doll shirt, a bright multicolored mini skirt, and black boots that came up to her knees. Another woman, also looked to be in her 40's, was wearing a white baby doll t shirt, cowboy boots, and a jeans miniskirt so low on her hips that she almost fell out of it several times.
What are these people thinking?
Meanwhile, the people I work with who were in attendance didn't bother to speak much to Timmy and me. I think they invited only the employees of a certain level and higher. I was easily the least important person there. And while they all knew me and would speak to me at the office, most of them couldn't be bothered with socializing with me. Whatever, I was just there for the free food and alcohol. And to make fun of all the rich folk. Ha ha.

Minnesoooduh - Details
What up? Well, the trip was nearly a disaster but I didn't worry so everything worked out. First I found out on Friday that the booth I had shipped to arrive by Saturday wouldn't deliver until Monday - the day the conference started. Oh well, can't do anything about it at that point, right? THEN, Co-Worker whose Nickname is Yet to be Determined told me he hadn't ordered any brochures for us to hand out. He thought I said I was going to do it. NOT. Whatever, I actually had brought a few handouts with me that we could make copies of. Lucky for him. The Amazingly Annoying A. forced me into her cousin's 15 year old Honda Civic hatchback for an excruciating ride from the airport to the hotel. I tried and tried to tell her I could take a cab so she could visit with her cousin. Then I tried and tried to tell her cousin that I could get my own suitcase. You could definitely see the family resemblance in the way that neither of them listens to others.
On Monday morning I found out that the booth had been delayed and wouldn't be showing up until Tuesday... sometime. That was not acceptable to A., so we left her at the hotel to harrass the hotel employees and UPS while we went on to the conference center. We put out our handouts, the few brochures we had, and our product samples. It didn't look half-bad. About 30 minutes later, A. comes stumbling up, dragging the booth behind her.
**The last time I had the booth out, one of the wheels fell off while I was pulling it around. The wheel uses one of those hex screwdrivers, which no one at the office had. So I took the wheel home with me to match it up with a screwdriver that would fit. I brought the wheel and the screwdriver with me to Minneapolis. I'd planned to put the wheel back on when it was delivered to the hotel. But since A. had stayed behind to bitch at various people, she was the only one there when the booth miraculously showed up on time. So she had to drag this 52 pound booth down 3 city blocks on one wheel. HA HA HA.**
Even though the booth showed up on time and A. had absolutely nothing to do with that, she acted as if she had saved the day. Whatever. Then she started examining the handouts we'd put on our table. "I have some better handouts, should I make copies of those?" Shut up and die, I thought at her. In fact, I thought that a LOT over the next two days.
On Monday night we had dinner at the Mill Museum, which is just an old flour factory turned into a museum. It was alright. They had a really dumb elevator tour that just went up and down and up and down again while playing recordings of former mill workers. Bestest Friend/Co-Worker and I tried to get the bus driver to take us to Hooters instead of back to our hotel, but she wasn't going for it. So we started singing "Scotty Doesn't Know (Oh)" from Eurotrip.
On Tuesday morning I had breakfast in the hotel restaurant by myself. My waitier (Cesar) LOVED me. He brought me 2 free smoothies and then asked me where I was from and how was the weather. What a nice boy. BFCW and I sat at the booth all morning. A. showed up an hour late, then disappeared for 3 more hours. Then she wandered back to the booth for a few minutes. She mentioned something about making some copies and asked me if I would be okay at the booth by myself. I said, "I don't see why not, I've been here all morning." She totally didn't get the sarcasm. CWNYTBD said he would watch the booth for a while so I could get away and try to calm down. A. was annoying him, but he could see I was about to go postal. I walked around downtown Minneapolis for a while. Went to the park. Saw a squirrel and some crazy homeless people. Then I came back to the conference center.
Just in time for the big Fashion Show! They had dresses made out of phone books, plastic grocery bags, soda cans, etc. It was really lame. We took the booth apart and headed back to the hotel. Then we hopped on the train to the Mall of America.
**People of Minneapolis, we do not understand your public transit system. We all purchased a ticket to ride the train. But no one ever asked to see them and there were no gates we had to go through to exit the train. Everyone seemed to just be getting on and off without paying. So on the way back we didn't bother to buy tickets. And absolutely nothing happened to us. We got away with it. So why do you have ticket machines if the tickets are unnecessary? Is it a trick? A way to get money from gullible tourists?**
We had dinner at the Twin Cities Grill in the Mall. I had the walleye. It was pretty good. When we finished dinner we only had 30 minutes before the mall closed. 30 minutes to browse over 500 stores on 4 floors that cover 8 city blocks! It all worked out all right. I bought a Minnesota fridge magnet and some postcards.
Things I will always remember:
Spray tanning in Pittsburg, KS - what a great story!
Recycling Mascots of the World (Burros, Ferrets, Dogs, Cows)
Conference Attendee: "I'm sitting on a truckload of tupperware lids." Me: "That sounds uncomfortable."
BFCW (after finishing huge meal): "Holy F!"
Conference Booth Neighbor to me: "I'm writing a book. It's called How to Train Your Wife Like You Would Train a Dog. But it's respectful."
BFCW: "Stick it in your Pujols!"

Top 10 Favorite Movies
List inspired by Kayles...
1. The Princess Bride - Are you kidding? Fencing, fighting, torture, revenge, giants, monsters, chases, escapes, true love, miracles...
2. Underworld - Not one of the best movies I've ever seen, but Scott Speedman is very yummy and Kate Beckinsale kicks ass.
3. Donnie Darko - I'm still not sure I understand what was really going on
4. Harry Potter movies - All of them. They are just so darned cute.
5. The Jerk - I don't care how stupid it is. It makes me laugh every time I watch it.
6. Can't Buy Me Love - Love me some Ronald Miller.
7. Mallrats - Possibly the best dialogue ever in a film.
8. Clueless - Never gets old.
9. Friday - DAYUMMMMM!
10. Gattaca - This may seem a strange choice, but I think this movie is great. I think Uma is gorgeous.
Honorable Mentions:
Any Albert Brooks film - His brand of humor is right up my alley.
Monty Python and the Search for the Holy Grail - A classic.
Pleasantville - Very original idea and nicely done.
Wild Things - Love all the plot twists that occur AFTER the movie is over. Plus, Neve Campbell is awesome in this. AND you get to see Kevin Bacon's bacon (if you know what I mean.)
Men in Black 2 - Not just because of Frank the Pug. Mostly because of "Are you allergic to shellfish?"
Dishonorable Mention:
Lord of the G-Strings - This is probably the funniest thing I've ever seen.

Minnesoooooduh
Just got back from Minneapolis. I went to a recycling conference with Bestest Friend / Co-Worker, the Amazing and Annoying A., and another co-worker (Nickname Yet to be Determined.) There were highs and lows to the trip, but on the whole we had a great time. Minneapolis was very nice. I think I like Chicago better, but it was still good.
