• Brokeback Coffee Drinker, Children and Dogs and Bears, Oh My!, Wienermobiles and the Subcontinent

  
  I’m dog-sitting again until next Wednesday.  I met Seth & Jessica for breakfast at 7 this morning at the Urth Cafe.  I forgot my stupid camera, so I just snapped a couple of these with my cell phone.  Bad quality, but you get the idea.  Jake Gyllenhaal was there, and though I normally don’t take pictures of celebrities here, I took this because the last time I mentioned Jake Gyllenhaal on my blog, I got hundreds and hundreds of hits from all over the world from people in his fan club.  They’re apparently quite loyal.   Then I baby-sat Hannah for a while while her Mom & Dad ran some errands.  We had fun.

  

  Tried to be discreet about taking this photo of Jake Gyllenhaal. Not sure who he was with either.

  

  Happy Hannah

  

  Hannah & I played and danced while Mommy & Daddy were gone.

  

  Ruby fast asleep, LOL

  I got a message from India recently saying that I cover a lot of Asian issues, but never deal with the Subcontinent.  Coincidentally, these two items were recently brought to my attention:

Instead, the boy’s father could be stripped of his licenses and may face criminal charges.  Read more…

  Pakistan’s late-night, cross-dressing TV star

  By Declan Walsh, Chronicle Foreign Service Wednesday, May 17, 2006

  (05-17) 04:00 PDT Karachi, Pakistan — By day, Ali Salim’s chin is covered with stubble. He wears scruffy jeans and feeds his taste for cigarettes. But at night he puts on a sequined sari and high heels and transforms himself into Nawazish Ali — catty chat-show queen and South Asia’s first cross-dressing television host.  Read more…

  I tell you, there’s never a dull moment in my life.  Today, while walking the dogs, we were on the lookout for bears!!

  

  Here are a couple of other photos from our walk today, and a video of Garbo & Ruby playing.
