Lazy Weekend 09/25/11
This is all that's going on chez Dottie the last couple of weekends. Plus books and old TV shows on Netflix. At least I biked a little bit - to get the cupcakes. And yes, I am a cat person, why do you ask?

I'm pretty sure these would still be funny, even without three glasses of Friday night wine. Hipster Puppy - ari stayed up all night drinking beer and playing old 7”s, so he’s gonna have to sit out this month’s critical mass (photo kari g) Hipster Kitty - Even Ender’s bike-polo teammates have begun to notice his body odor (photo Sarah VanCamp) Thanks for the tip, Trisha! You know me too well. Don't forget to email us pictures of your cat (or dog, bird, small child, etc.) surfing the inte...

Other things this week that have helped chase the winter blahs* away: Charlotte Gainsbourg's latest album, IRM. Beck co-wrote and produced it and it is delightful. Watch the video of the album's first single here. Delicious Thai food from The Smiling Elephant. Scarf month on Academichic--so many fun ideas! My fave so far,...

This week brought a couple of changes for me. I got a rearview mirror for my bike. Still playing with the best way to adjust it, but it's nice to be able to keep an eye on what's behind me without turning my head. I got used to this little luxury while riding Oma last month. Now for the new friend: Wally was found abandoned at a nearby apartment complex a couple of weeks ago. After much debate, and assurance from Dottie that one must have at least four cats to qualify as a crazy cat lady, he came home with me...
