Anchor bitten by dog

16 Feb

I don’t know if you people have heard, but a Denver anchor was bitten in the face by a Argentina Mastiff while on the air. Here is a news article from Yahoo, for all of my two readers to check out. Now, they say that they have cited the owner for violation of the leash law and not having the dog properly vaccinated and they’ve quarantined the dog for 10 days for evaluation.

Um.. yea. I watched the video of the actual dog bite (you can find it on youtube if you are dying to see it), and yea that lady had it coming to her. You could clearly see the dog was stressed and was going to react negatively. The anchor lady shouldn’t have went in for the kiss that led to reconstructive surgery. Learn to read body language, people!

If I see some cute looking dog on the street, regardless of size, I’m not gonna kneel down and get all up in its face and ask for kisses. I’ve been bit by a dog before and it wasn’t pleasant.. wasn’t my fault or anything. I was a kid at my grandparent’s house and I was out playing when all of a sudden this strange, aggressive dog comes out of nowhere charging at me. It bit me on the leg as I ran away. I was pretty much scared of any dog, for awhile after that, but obviously I have conquered my fear. ;)

The whole thing makes me mad in general because they blame the dog & owner and not the anchor. It just goes to show that people are ignorant when it comes to animals. Just because it looks cute & seems happy, doesn’t mean it really is.

I have so much I want to say about Pit Bulls and other breeds that are stereotyped into the “always aggressive” category, but I just don’t know where to begin and I’m just you all don’t want to hear me rant about it either.

Speaking of dogs, I’m going to go feed my little one now.

Music Monday – We Found Love

28 Nov

Rihanna – We Found Love

I lovelovelove this song. I am not much of a Rihanna fan, but this song is awesome and makes me want to dance. The video made me cry the first time I watched it, not gonna lie.

Yea, I messed up on blogging for the month. I missed two days. It started out with Saturday being very brutal and distracting. It was not a very good mental day and by the time I realized I needed to blog, it was after midnight. /shrug. Oh well. I got pretty far, though, which I am proud of, at least.

I am still keeping up with my photo project, though. On day 76. Having the iPhone makes it easier and more convenient to take photos. Even though, I feel bad for neglecting my DSLR.

Hope everyone had a good weekend & holiday. <3

Pretty good.

25 Nov

Yesterday was pretty good. It was probably one of the best Thanksgivings I’ve had in a long time. I spent a good part of the day in the kitchen and then finally we ate an early dinner around two. It was delicious. We even sat at the dining room table (we cheated and pulled the TV into the room. xD)! We had eaten and the dishes were washed all by 3:30 in the afternoon. I was pleased.

Later, we lounged about and tried to fight off sleep due to being overstuffed. So sleepy! I could barely hold my eyes open.

I eventually got bored and was feeling quite cabin feverish so I suggested to go to the late night showing of The Muppets. Good call on my part. I enjoyed the movie immensely and laughed at all the silly jokes. I am such a kid and I refuse to ever grow up. Ever! I will also admit to becoming teary eyed during a couple parts. I was thankful as my bad idea was becoming quite dry and itchy. Talk about perfect timing. Either way, I can’t wait to get my Muppets t-shirt that I ordered a couple of weeks ago from Threadless.

We didn’t really do too much today. I slept until noon, just about. I’ve played some WoW and wasted time on the internet. That’s about it. Nice relaxing day, for sure.

Have a good weekend, people.

 

 

Painting.

19 Nov

So, I did a little painting today. I have never done it before other than back in grade school art class or with water colors when I was super young.

I’m being crafty and painting on an old window frame that was in this house and I decided to keep it when we got our windows replaced this spring. I chose this particular window because it had an old faded rainbow sticker on it, and yea, I love rainbows. I noticed that the neighbors upstair window also has the same rainbow sticker. I’m thinking maybe there were two little girls that in these houses and were rainbow buddies… that’s what I like to think, at least.

I’m not finished with my simpleton work of art yet, but when I’m done I’ll be sure to post here. What I have so far I do like, other than one thing. I can just wash it off with soap and water and start all over, thankfully, since its on glass.

I didn’t really know where to begin when it came to painting. I just randomly chose paints and brushes at Hobby Lobby. I hope I picked the right stuff, but whatever, it seems to be getting the job done, this far. I just need to go pick up a couple more paints and something to set it once I’m done.

Enough babble about my crappy art projects..

I need to finish getting my grocery list together. I’m making thanksgiving dinner for James and I this year, and I’m really looking forward to it. We were going to have tofurky sandwiches, but I decided against that. I like tofurky and all, but I want something a little heartier. Either way, I’m excited. <3

Waffles

15 Nov

Didn’t really do anything exciting other than draw this for James today. I’m the butter, he’s the waffle. The butter reminds me of Woodstock for some reason. Either way, I thought it was cute and wanted to share. I made it using a paint/drawing app on my iPhone called Doodle Buddy.

My back is still out and its making it difficult to do anything. So, pretty much I’ve been sitting here all day for the past couple of days. I don’t want to, but its probably best. Tomorrow will be the last day for the medication I have to take for my face. I can’t wait. I think its been the cause of making me feel like crap even more so. Fingers are crossed.

Music Monday – Circa Survive

14 Nov

Circa Survive – Frozen Creek

Lovelovelove this.

Not really feeling any better today. Back is still hurting like a jerk. Face is still not functioning properly. Sense of taste is still missing. I don’t really feel like doing anything other than laying down, but its too painful to even do that because of my back. So, I get to just kinda sit here and aimlessly wander around the internet for a million hours.

I do kinda want a coffee, though. I’m addicted to Peppermint Mochas. I wish I had the proper tools & things to make my own at home. That would be sweet.

I think next Monday I will do a Meatless Monday with photos & a recipe.

Things I learned today..

6 Nov

- As cute as some shoes are, they are not meant to walk around in a mall for hours.

- The best things are the simplest, like little mini toys from those quarter machines. Especially Hello Kitty ones!

- Jalapenos are the most amazing food.

- It gets hot in malls. Do not wear extra clothing.

- Jewelry makes me happy. SHINY!

- I will never outgrow Hello Kitty.

- I have suddenly become interested in shoes.

- I want a koala hat.

- I learned how to move the “music” icon on my iPhone so it doesn’t randomly start playing music from my pocket.

- I like boy clothes that have already been worn by a specific boy.

- I want to go to an arcade that has retro games like PacMan & Pinball Machines.

- I love daytrips.<3

Happy Halloween!

31 Oct

Its Halloween, but I don’t really care. I celebrated by going to the gym. It was the first time I went in probably about three weeks, but not really sure. It felt pretty good to exercise, and I wish I could have this type of motivation every day. C’est la vie.

Anyway, I have been busy dealing with a crappy depression, and I also went home for a few days last week. The drives both way sucked hardcore and were super boring. The time in South Carolina was alright, I guess. I’m back in Baltimore, though, and things aren’t quite sorted out, yet. At least the hole in the wall is now fixed up, just needs to be painted again. Sigh.

Things are going to be changing soon, but I’m not quite sure how, what, why. Its going to happen, though. I have hard time dealing with change. I absolutely despise it, even though I know it is for the better.

I have been playing a lot of Words with Friends lately. Pandaramic84 is my username. [=

Here is my pick for Music Monday -

Grouplove – Coulors

Music Monday – Cults

3 Oct

Abducted – Cults.

This weekend couldn’t have been any worse. I was so angry and frustrated with any and everything. All I did was cry pretty much and I didn’t get anything done that I really wanted to do.  Whatever. Story of my life.

Its Monday. Meh.

Bad week

2 Oct

For some reason, I got the urge to look at my very first livejournal that I created back in 2002. The entries in that thing were pretty ridiculous and I can’t believe that I openly wrote about the things I did. And why did I hyphenate words with an asterisk? /facepalm Its kinda embarrassing. Though, even back then I always talked about how depressed I was. I guess I have been dealing with that for quite some time, sadly.

This week has not been good. The roof of my mouth has been super sore because I ate Trix like three days in a row and it cut my mouth open or something crazy like that. Then, I found this weird growth thing on Oscar’s leg and we had to go and get it removed. I’ve been super depressed and haven’t really felt like doing anything other than sitting around. I did manage to cook a few times this week, fortunately. Also, haven’t been getting along with James the past couple of days either. It sucks. Oh, and let me not forget my sleeping habits are kinda off schedule, too. Its almost 3:30 in the morning and I’m still awake. Go figure. If anything is going to go wrong, its going to be now.

I hope next week will be a million times better.

On a lighter note, I stumbled upon a Domo in a Panda suit. Totally made my day and was definitely the highlight of my week. Also, on Friday, I met some cool people at a random bonfire/weirdpartything. It was neat, but I still found it to be socially awkward.

Rawr.
