a post with surprisingly little content  
I. I am very bored, so I kept thinking, “I am bored! Maybe I’ll post to lj!” And then I would realize I had nothing to say that would be of interest to anyone anywhere. I have my last boring history lecture tomorrow, but that is more exciting for me than it is for you. And THEN I realized I still had one last thing I could turn to.


His name is Loki. He is now six months old and weighs, idk, maybe 20 lbs, which is still tiny compared to our previous dog but huge compared to the 5 or so pounds he was when we got him.




These photos are all after he was just brushed. His hair is usually more whacked out than that. You can’t tell in these, but it’s also turning red.




The bigger dog in this one belongs to someone in the neighbourhood. They are the same breed and they have ~playdates~ almost every night. Her name is Ruby and I generally refer to her as his girlfriend.

And here is one for the road:



II. WASN’T THAT FUN. See how I distracted you temporarily from the fact that I am still doing that 30 Day meme and my answers today are really boring?

Day 22 – A Who-Related Fan-Site

I rarely if ever leave LJ for fandom-related things these days. I am going to recommend Teaspoon, simply because it has brought me more lulz than one can say.

Occasionally I also find a good fic, but more regularly I find lulz.

Day 23 – A Who-Related YouTube Video

So I deliberated over this for a while. SHOULD IT BE A FUNNY INTERVIEW? SOME KIND OF PARODY? A FANVIDEO? OMG SO MANY OPTIONS~

Unsurprisingly, fanvideo won. This one isn’t from YouTube, but I DO WHAT I WANT:



Kudos to whoever made it because I love it. I think I’ve posted it here like 3 times. Too bad.

OH MY GOD YOUR DOG IS SO ADORABLE, HE SHOULD GET TOGETHER WITH MY DOG AND HAVE CUTE PLAYDATES TOO. Except at this point, Angel would probably be like WTF NEW DOG and promptly fall asleep.

I love that video!! I've somehow never seen it before, but it's good. At first I was like OHHH BB ROSE AND CO LOOKING AT THE TARDIS, and then somewhere around 1:00 it turned really sad, and I was just like OMG SARAH JANE HUG MEEEEE. Such a ~range of emotions~

Also LOL I HAVE A STORY FOR YOU
Kali: dw :: team tardis :: the gang's all here_thirty2flavors on August 5th, 2010 01:28 am (UTC)
He is very cute. I admit that I was wary at first because I like big manly dogs, having grown up with German Shepherds. But he is cute. and LOL our last dog was like that. When puppies were around you could just see him being like DAMN WHIPPERSNAPPERS.

I LOVE IT. AWESOME WOMEN YEAHHH. And ikr that Enya song, goes through such a range~
The shots of everyone running around the TARDIS are some of my favourites, I'm sad we haven't had that since... Martha? OMG HAVE WE NOT HAD IT SINCE MARTHA?

OMG STORY TIME!!
Austinjohnmayergirl23 on August 5th, 2010 01:39 am (UTC)
STORY TIME. It's...actually not as exciting as I led you to believe.

Anyway.

My bff Jen and I were going to the mall today and were randomly talking about ff.net, and I was like "yeah, I keep getting updates--" and she interrupted me and was like "OH MY GOD, DOES THAT GIRL KEEP EMAILING YOU TOO?" And I was like...no. Apparently, some girl keeps emailing her, asking if I'm ever going to update my Anastasia fic, which I wrote when I was like, 13. She apparently has read all of my stories and found Jen's ff.net account via one of my dedications, and is like, begging her to get me to update. OH GOD I HAVE AN INTERNET STALKER...WHO LIKES CARTOONS.

The other story is that later, I was like "oh yeah, my friend Kali said" and she was like "Where'd you meet her? School?" And I thought about lying, but I was like mumblemumble the internet, and she goes HAHA I RECOGNIZE THAT NAME. So I'm like ", oh well, she's _thirty2flavors" and Jen goes OMG I READ ALL OF HER HARRY POTTER FANFICTION, I'M GLAD YOU GUYS ARE FRIENDS. So apparently, you are ~famous~
Kali: dw :: doctors :: something to live for_thirty2flavors on August 5th, 2010 01:59 am (UTC)
OMG BOTH OF THOSE STORIES ARE GREAT THOUGH

OMG ANASTASIA FIC. IF YOU UPDATE THAT MAYBE I'LL UPDATE SILLY LOVE SONGS? hahahaha just kidding I am never touchign Silly Love Songs ever again.

OMG INTERNET FAME IS WHAT I HAVE ALWAYS WANTED. shaking and crying
Austinjohnmayergirl23 on August 5th, 2010 06:45 pm (UTC)
LIRL I KNOW. It was a one-shot Anastasia fic that will clearly never become anything other than a one-shot, especially considering it was written in 2005. This girl has emailed me like five times saying "WE ARE TRYING TO GET A FANDOM TOGETHER, YOU MUST EMAIL ME BACK AND JOIN" and I'm like ...no.

You should just start calling yourself a BNF and deal with it. You have ~celebrity
Kali: dw :: martha :: voice of a nightingale_thirty2flavors on August 5th, 2010 07:30 pm (UTC)
I don't think you get to be a BNF until someone makes a fandomsecret about you tbh.

YOU COULD BE A BNF IN ANASTASIA FANDOM BB!

Love the video! And the puppy...too cute. :)
Kali: dw :: act :: one two three_thirty2flavors on August 5th, 2010 01:37 am (UTC)
I love it too! It's such a nice showcase to the awesome women of Doctor Who.

Loki is so cute! I love dog photos. :) What breed is he? Based on his girlfriend, I'd guess Wheaton Terrier, but I don't know how old he is to gauge size. Enjoy him!!
Kali: dw :: amy/rory :: two birds on a wire_thirty2flavors on August 5th, 2010 02:00 am (UTC)
He is a "goldendoodle" lol, so he's part poodle and part... well actually I think he's more like 3/4 poodle and 1/4 golden retriever.
demented & sad, but social: dogs: toesiepapilio_luna on August 5th, 2010 02:12 am (UTC)
FUN FACT!

All goldendoodles and labradoodles are 50/50. This is because they are not really a breed but a mutt, and because of the ~MAGIC OF GENETICS~ if you breed a golden retriever with a poodle, the puppies turn out to be kind-of-sort-of half of one breed and half of the other, in a somewhat predictable manner. However, if you then were to breed goldendoodle to goldendoodle, or goldendoodle to poodle or whatever, the puppies would be a seriously extreme mishmash of traits, and none of them would like alike at all. In order to create a new breed of dog, where you can breed, say, german shepherd to german shepherd and get puppies that all look pretty much identical, that takes many many many generations of selective breeding, in order to get over the hump of second- and third-generation (etc) mixed breeds all looking like totally random dogs and not like one another at all. The lab + poodle = labradoodle only works for that first generation. Labradoodle + labradoodle = totally random assortment of dogs, some of which look like labs, some of which look like poodles, and some of which look just totally random but none of which look like a labradoodle.

I have many ~feelings about the purposeful breeding of designer mutts, but your dog is adorable and you love him and you didn't pick him out anyway, so I'll keep them to myself.

ISN'T IT GREAT?
Francesgoldy_dollar on August 5th, 2010 02:47 am (UTC)
AWW PUPPY. I am glad that you have something to entice people to Kanata with now that you have lost free movies.

That video had too much Rose in it for me.
Lizbazcat89 on August 5th, 2010 01:05 pm (UTC)
OMG PUPPY

my new dog is coming home today. i am curious to see how the cats respond to this.
Kali_thirty2flavors on August 5th, 2010 02:41 pm (UTC)
ORLY!!! what kind is it
Lizbazcat89 on August 5th, 2010 02:50 pm (UTC)
Another St. Bernard. We're brand loyal.

She's 2 and a half years old, and we found her in an ad put in the paper by the local SPCA. It had been decided that we weren't going to get another one after Star died, but then Mom and Mark saw the ad and were like "...WANT" so yeah.
Kali_thirty2flavors on August 5th, 2010 02:59 pm (UTC)
awww cute. she could step on Loki LIRL

I don't think I've ever seen a St Bernard in real life. they're beautiful though.
Lizbazcat89 on August 5th, 2010 03:16 pm (UTC)
I'll post pictures later if you're up for the what-would-happen-if-your-dog-sat-on-my-dog's-head? game.

They're lovely dogs. They also drool a lot.
A LOT
Kali: dw :: time & relative dimension in space_thirty2flavors on August 5th, 2010 03:18 pm (UTC)
YES PLZ

omg I know, that is the downfall of big dogs like that. well, not all big dogs. but the ones with the um... ......droopy mouths? LIRL idk how to describe it. but yes the drool is one of the reasons I would rather admire from afar than have one for myself I think. Even though I am a dog racist who also judges by size.
Lizbazcat89 on August 5th, 2010 03:24 pm (UTC)

MARS WILL BE BRIGHT TONIGHT
(i feel like i may have accidentally just said something sexual in the midst of my nonsensicalness. if so, it was not intentional)

Well, for me the major drawback of dogs like St. Bernards is that they're too big; their bone structure literally cannot handle their weight, so by the time they hit 12 they start to develop really painful leg issues which only get worse with time. This happened to our last two St. Bernards. It was part of the reason why I was so unenthused about this one, tbh. It's no fun to watch your dog slowly degenerate and eventually have to be put to sleep to take them out of their pain.

Even though I am a dog racist who also judges by size.
:O
:O

Kali_thirty2flavors on August 5th, 2010 04:51 pm (UTC)
That happens with big dogs though -- in general big dogs live significantly shorter than small dogs because idk I guess the strain on their body is too much. Plus most pure breeds have lots of genetic problems because they're so damn inbred, so I wouldn't be surprised if St Bernards are already genetically predisposed to a certain leg problem. German Shepherds are smaller than St Bernards (though our last German Shepherd was ginormous) but they are really prone to... lol hell if I can spell it, some sort of thing where basically they slowly go paralyzed D:

Lizbazcat89 on August 5th, 2010 05:12 pm (UTC)
Yes. It is very sad :(
Dani: celeb // billie // perfectiondashafeather on August 5th, 2010 03:15 pm (UTC)
Your puppy is so cute! Makes me want to get one, but my cats would probably attack it lol.

LOVE that video. YEAH YOU GO BE AWESOME GIRLS.
Nichothodes Koryfoidesplacebetween on August 5th, 2010 04:09 pm (UTC)
OH MY GOD. WHAT KIND OF DOG IS THAT? I AM ACTUALLY SALIVATING WITH THE CUTENESS
Kali: comm :: that's racist_thirty2flavors on August 5th, 2010 05:00 pm (UTC)
He is a goldendoodle! Poodle/golden retriever. They are apparently trendy right now idk. The good thing is that he does not shed.
Kellysweetcherrytree on August 5th, 2010 04:32 pm (UTC)
WHY SO CUTE OMG

my family in singapore has a toy poodle it's really cute but she's kind of a psycho...
