Once the journal/weblog/diary of Tucker, a sometimes-sub. Now mostly taken over by his girlfriend, Trixie, and her thoughts on porn (especially porn focused on guys).
Leaking Pipes Sorry that I had to duck out of my show within the first few minutes. We had a minor emergency, a leaking hot water heater, that ended up leaving us with no running water for the day. So I had to shut everything down and talk to some plumbers about getting over here and remedying the problem. It ended up being a hurry up and wait situation culminating in wonderful sushi dinner. When the going get's tough, the tough go out for sushi!!! So our plumber dude will be here tomorrow and tonight we'll be without running water.
New Age Dog My dog seems to have adopted a new fondness for "new age" music. We happened to notice it shortly after we had our Direct TV installed. Trixie really enjoys having some calm and soothing background noise going while she is working which when we noticed that Nico seemed to be enjoying the ambient tunes just as much. We started noticing her curled up next to speakers in the living room or in front of the TV in the bedroom whenever we were tuned into the new age XM station. She seems to be really fond of Audio Visions, a station featuring many songs with harps, flutes, chimes, classical guitars, didgeridoos, rainsticks, sitars, and various animal noises (especially chirping birds).
I'm not sure how this happened. Nico was raised on classic rock, motown, folk, bluegrass, blues, raggae, and heavy doses of psychedelic 60's rock. Maybe she is just getting old or maybe she has finally found a genre that soothes her savage soul. Whatever it is she seems to anticipate and even expect it as part of her daily routine these days. Trixie or I will put it on in the morning and she will curl up wherever it is being played and simly bliss out on it.
Yup, Still Here Just wanted to make a quick entry to let people know that yes I am still here. I've been having a really good summer so far and have a few things that I'm excited about and hope to be writing about in the next few weeks. I find it hard sometimes to sit down and organize my thoughts in a manner that works for me as a blog entry. It's frustrating sometimes because it is something that I do want to get better at and be able to do on a much more consistant basis. Anyway, be looking for some more posts in the upcoming weeks. I've got a few different things I want to blog about and need to sift through some thoughts and ideas. Hopefully I'll be able to take a little time to do just that in the next few days.
