mom put her foot in her mouth

SO as we all know mom has an obsession with being able to do a lot of pull-ups. Mom told Frank that if Hilary Swank won the best actress Oscar for Million Dollar Baby, she would have to do 3 sets of 10 pull ups unassisted, and be able to either run a half marathon (well at least 8 miles). I think she said she had to be able to do it by her birthday. Haha Hilary Swank won

and now mom has to do it. Did you know that Hilary Swank put on something like 17 pounds of muscle for the movie, and she had to wake up in the middle of the night just to eat more? Mom better use the summer wisely. Lets hope she won't make me run with her, She already tortures me with the insane amount of stairs I have to go up every day. Good thing I still have her fooled with my "fear" of going down stairs. . .

Mom's New Tat!

When it comes to self inflicted pain Mom does what she can to make it happen as often as possible. Whether it's a good flossing, multiple ear piercings, nose piercings and now a tattoo. She left me at 6:00 yesterday, I could tell she was nervous: shakey, panting like a rabid dog foaming at the mouth. She came back that evening with a brand new tatoo. It's on left wrist and it is a black diamond. She tried to explain the signifigance, but I was more interested in the smell of fresh blood, which was oozing out. She wouldn't let me lick it and I wasn't allowed to sleep in the same bed because I could have ruined the designed. I was really hoping that she would have gotten my face tattooed on her wrist, but I guess for the first tattoo, she just wanted to do a black diamond. From what I've seen, people who get a tattoo like it so much that they end up getting another. I'll give it another month or so until there's a bichon face on her shoulder that bears a strong resemblence to yours truly.

Music

Mom loves music so much that is all I listen to all day,

when the Ashlee Simpson show is not on.
I am beginging to think that Mom loves music more than me.
Frank told mom about this great new softwear LIMEWIRE. It lets you acess any song you want over the internet for free. It workes that way because Anyone who has I-tunes has agreed to have the music they have on it shared. It is a file sharing program. I am still in limbo about weather or not I agree with it being free, but hey I'm not complaining and still downloading songs.
Some other local bands that mom loves and everyone should be a fan of are.
The Dwight Ritcher Band
oneiris
Early May
Scott Peterson
Ahab Seamus

Of course there are more but that's all I am gonna give you for now!

Vegas

It is so easy to procrastinate and spend time in noisey places to feel furfilled. I spent the last few days going to bars that I am a regular at. During that time and after money was spent, I found myself wondering what is the point? I go to Shade and eat a Creap with mom, go to The Dove and have a glass of over priced wine, and then maybe to XR bar and visit Katie and Todd. After all of that I am still where I was at the beginging of the night, and maybe I will have scored a card or a number of someone who in a drunkin promise says that they will help me with one of my on going projects. After it all what do you get except for credit card debt?
Mom and Frank last night went to The Cellar, and said goodbye to Franks friend Sam because he is going away for like 3 months to work for a Magician in Vegas at the Aladdin hotel.

Hell I would go to Vegas to get a break. To work on something I could put on my resume, to be out of the city in a hotel. I live through others and escape in non realities, and romance my way to a life that is not in the cards right now.. And the best part of it all is that Sam gets to make enough money to pay off his credit cards!

why nyc

I wonder as I am getting yet another bath why I live in NYC. Mom always said that this is the the city where everything happens, this is the place where dreams come true and this is where you need to be, to be artistic. Is that true? I feel artistic when I see a good movie, when I hear good music, and when I come up with a great new idea. Why do I need to be here, 7 flights up in the sky to be an artist? I have simple needs , I like to be petted, to be fed and to be walked. That could happen any where. Why do I need to fend off cock roaches, and watch mom being hit on be nasty men and walk down the street and get dirty every step? Here everyone is searching for something that only some get. And if that is not ok will all survive?

Forgotten

Julianne Moore has let me down. I am a big fan of hers but the movie "The Forgotten" wasted my time, and scared me for no reason. When it comes to the subject of wiping out memory and alian abduction I get excited. So when mom and Frank popped in the DVD I sat and waited to be thrilled. It fell Flat, the dialogue was weak and I wondered at the end of it all what favor Julianne Moore owed to someone to do that movie. There were good parts, and suspensful parts, but when Frank was more concerned with figuring out which part of Brooklyn the movie was shot in and reconizing the deli in DUMBO he had been to, I knew the movie was not a hit. I am going to give Julianne Moore another chance,

because she was so good in "Boogie Nights" my bar for her is still high.

Happy Valentines day!

Today is great because mom fed me whipped cream. She is making dessert for after dinner tonight. Mom and Frank have decided to make dinner in my kitchen instead of going out. I hope that they make steak and French Fries. I want the sause to drip on the floor. They will prob make something stupid like Fish. Oh well, mom let me help with dessert, and in helping Whip the cream I knocked the bowl on to the floor and mom let me lick it all up. I think she is just sick of wiping up my pee on the floor, and decided to let me act as a paper towel.

Happy Valentines Day to me!

Pull-up Bar

Frank got Mom a pull-up bar for Valentines Day! What a great gift! Mom loves to do pull-ups and I love to watch her swing from the bar like a monkey. I got a bit scared when Frank was drilling the holes into the door frame that I had to hide under the couch and cover my head with my paws! When the dumb sound stopped I was then able to witness mom act like a monkey and try and get buff like this guy!

new digs

Frank has gotten himself a new apartment in Greenpoint. Mom told me it is big and in a great neighborhood! Mom and Frank rode their bikes all day moving him into his new apartment. Mom said that Frank looked like a crazy old man on his bike. This was when he was wearing his helmut with the horns, had a milk crate filled on the back of his bike with a bedside table bunggied on top, with his large backpacking bag full on his back topped with his messenger bag on his front full, as well as riding no handed down the street! Too bad I won't see it anytime soon, well he has not invited me yet, well i guess I won't be comming unless mom strapps me on her bike which I am not ready to do! That's ok i just get to hear fun stories from mom, which is good enough, congrats Frank on your new digs!

Introducing Dr. Piggelstein

Frank thinks I am a Doctor. Why who knows?

All of a sudden he has taken to calling me Dr. Piggelstein. Don't get me wrong I love being treated with the utmost respect, but I am a few hairs shy from my degree. I have to say I do a lot of practicing in my labratory and there are always pleanty of samples I do and leave. I get most of my work done really late at night or during the day when mom is at work. I love that time because no one tries to hold me, or get in my way to scold me when I am working on a sample in my lab.

I'll give Frank this one and let him continue to call me Dr., and who knows onee day I may even have my degree!
