Happy Halloween!The party’s finally over. Yes, that’s me and the Snook as Miss Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy from Pride and Prejudice. We figured since we went with low-brow pop culture last year, we’d go high-brow and literary this year. It worked really, really well. The party was a smashing success (as I’m sure…

Party time! Yes, CouchCam is broadcasting the party… LIVE as we speak. Enjoy.

Okay, that’s the funniest DeskCam picture of me ever. I look like Austin Powers just having woken up, all glasses-askew and mouth-breathing. I’m not gonna change that one for a while.

Even though I’ve pretty much given up on the diet right now (she says while munching Golden Grahams), the Snook and I still are having endless fun threatening to put Dr. Amy Jones on the Catkins Diet. It makes us laugh. In reality, she eats mostly dry food with the occasional supplement of Fancy Feast,…
