Here’s the new dog:



I adopted her from the animal shelter in the next county over. She’s four months old. They told me she’s a border collie/Jack Russel Terrier mix. She definitely has a lot of energy and can run for four miles straight without opening her mouth to breathe. Let’s just say she’s in better shape than me right now. We run every morning, though, so hopefully I’ll be able to challenge her more effectively over time.

Her name is Supi. I originally wanted to call her Suki because of this commercial. Go ahead and take 30 seconds. It’s one of my favorite commercials.

So her name was Suki. I told Sapphira, and Sapphira called her Suki about five times, then started calling her Supi. I thought she must know something I don’t, so we call her Supi now.

Turns out Supi is a Finnish word that means “raccoon dog”. Good job, Sapphira.

I watched a documentary last night called Les Paul - Chasing Sound
. It's about Les Paul (surprise!). Phenomenal documentary. I knew Les Paul was instrumental (sorry, had to do it) in creating the electric guitar. I didn't know that he also pioneered (actually, invented) multitrack recording. An artist and a genius, with a good sense of humor to boot.

After watching the documentary I downloaded this album, which is very enjoyable. It fits in nicely with my recent obsession with all things 1940's. Read More...

Well, kids. I was shocked, SHOCKED to see that it had been over a month since I had written anything here. Most of you have written me off by now, I’m sure. I just didn’t have anything to say. Now I do.

I have some tasty, juicy blog posts in the works. Some really good stuff coming up. Stick with me. I won’t let you down.
