Wrong Side of the Bed

I woke up this morning right after I shot myself in the head in my dream. Then thanks to the internet and social networking sites I read something I had no desire to know or read that sunk me even deeper into a mood. While walking to my car I passed a guy on his cell phone repeating over and over again "I didn't do anything wrong. I didn't do anything wrong. I didn't do anything wrong." I've been awake for an hour and a half and I'm not feeling great about this day.

He's everyone's friend but he's also got a very naughty streak

He is so tiny, visitors often assume he's a stuffed toy.
Standing at 59cm tall, if Koda the horse wants an equal he has to turn to the vetinary cat for company.
The 'American miniature' horse - who suffers the double-whammy of being born a dwarf - has had a bout of health problems caused by his size, but he is now recovering and enjoying the life of a pampered pet.

The cheeky 'American miniature' horse was always meant to be small but at birth vets soon realised he was dinky even for his breed.
'He was no bigger than a cat,' said his vet Andy Lynch. 'He was diagnosed as a dwarf soon after birth.'

Koda's condition is rare and Lynch is amazed that he's still alive and kicking at 13-months-old despite a torrent of health problems.
Brave Koda has had lots of surgery to correct his stumpy, buckled legs but that hasn't helped his peculiar face. His lower jaw juts out and he has bulging eyes, upturned nostrils and a wrinkled nose.
'He had a punky look, a fuzzy forelock and his mane stuck up like a mohawk,' Dr Lynch said.

Koda's poor health prognosis left Dr Lynch with little doubt he should be put down.
But veterinary nurse Karen Stephenson, 23, was astounded by the resilience and spirit of the pint-sized pony.
'I'd never seen a miniature horse and I just thought him amazing,' she said.
'I fell in love with him as soon as I saw him and thought he deserved a go at some good quality life, so I took him on.'
Dr Lynch has performed about £5,000 worth of leg surgery on Koda, but his total vet's bill is expected to top £15,000.
The next step is extensive dentistry to remove protruding adult teeth that won't fit in his little mouth.
He has recovered well from every operation so far.
'He's very brave and takes his medicine like a little man,' said Dr Lynch.
'He's everyone's friend but he's also got a very naughty streak and he'll chew just about anything,' he added.

Not the Red Baron

I have to say that in my 14 years of dying my hair no color has received as many complements from complete strangers as much as this one I have now has. If I could ever get myself to stick to one shade then this one sure seems to be a keeper. Pretty funny because I only bought it a few months back because the store was out of the shade I wanted.



In other going ons. I watched Coraline tonight which I didn't expect to like so much. It's really good and very creepy.

Waking Life

I can't believe I'm still angry and upset over being fucked over by someone last night in my dream. I REALLY don't want to get in to the specifics of the dream because it is actually really messed up for my mind to have gone down the path it did. I can't believe I'm still angry over it though when I know fully well that it isn't based at all in reality.

You know what I would have rather dreamed last night instead of actually happening to me, which it did, is walk face first into a spider web and the spider landing in my eye. Thank God for long eyelashes.

Tippy Toes

I will never get the hour and a half of my life back it took watching this movie tonight. RIP 90 min.

Tiny Bubbles

I bought champagne grapes today for the first time. I've never even heard of them before. They are the size of peas and you can eat them just like a cartoon by sticking the whole cluster in your mouth and popping them off the stem. I should not be this amused by grapes. I also discovered the magic eraser cleaning sponge and the joys of grinding my own coffee today. It is a day of discovery for me. I have had the most chill weekend known to man. For some reason all I wanted was to be alone this weekend. I mean this in a good way not a moody "I hate people" way. I feel completely recharged and ready to go. Though maybe that is the freshly ground coffee talking :)

Tramps

A while back I posted this photo to a group of friends and challenged them to write a story to go along with it that I would then illustrate. I chose Mr. Doug Spice's story. Click on the image to see larger.
