To Trixi

Tomorrow afternoon, my parents are putting Trixi, our 15-year-old dog, down to rest. She has always been a puppy at heart. Only in the last few years has she started to act her age, and the past several months have been especially hard for her. As much as I have known this day was coming, and am glad she won't suffer anymore, it still hurts to say goodbye.

I've always loved this comic, but it's especially fitting today. RIP

New Hair

Blargh. I kept meaning to write this post, but putting it off because I wanted to get a good picture to go with it, but now I have ANOTHER post that I want to write, and I know from past experience that if I skip over one intended post and move onto another, the original post will just never happen. (The non-existent NYC trip of fall 2011, anyone?)

So . . . anyway, the picture isn't really important, because I'm not really asking opinions, I'm just sort of voicing my own thoughts on the subject. My own thoughts aren't likely to change if I post a picture and get a ton of people commenting back that, "Oh, it looks so cute!" Partly because I'll assume everyone's lying anyway. So, it's actually probably better if I don't post a picture.

Finale Season

Yes, it's finale season in TV land. Castle was on Monday. The Big Bang Theory is tonight (though I won't see it till tomorrow, since we don't have cable or satellite or a converter-box-thingy-that-replaced-antennas-a-few-years-ago, and have to wait until the episode is posted online) and How I Met Your Mother is next Monday.

I'm really excited for HIMYM. Not only does Lily have the baby, but apparently the identity of Barney's bride is going to be revealed.

In case you don't watch HIMYM... well, you can probably just go ahead and stop reading now. And if you do watch it but aren't caught up to current episodes, you probably want to stop reading too. But if you're curious and don't care about spoilers, read on.
