I Tivo’d Oprah today and tried to watch it tonight, but couldn’t get through it. The subject was puppy mills and it was SO hard to watch. I’m glad Oprah did the show though, because it will make people think twice before ever buying a dog in a pet store. This is “Shrimp”, before and after the puppy mill:
In January 2007, Bill rescued a Maltese-poodle mix from a breeder. The emaciated puppy had little hair and was close to death. Bill couldn’t leave him behind and adopted the little guy, naming him Shrimp. Today, Shrimp is a happy and healthy member of Bill’s pack—and even wears a red bow in his full mane of hair. “Boy, what a makeover!” Oprah says.
Speaking of cute dogs, my cousin Darlene’s dog Roxy needs a boyfriend.
I’ve got a few candidates in mind. My first choice would be to clone my dog Oreo who died in 1987.
Garbo is also in the running, though he and Ruby are currently betrothed.
I’d love for Chris to bring Gromit out to meet Roxy. I think they’d make a cute couple!
Of course, I thought the same thing about Gromit & Oreo:
Gromit (L), Oreo (R) – Kindred Spirits
This week however, I met Ryno. His owner Francis tell me he’s gay, but he hasn’t met Roxy yet, so I’m keeping my fingers crossed. Ryno is a Morkie. (Maltese + Yorkie, also known as a Yorktese). Isn’t he the cutest thing you’ve ever seen?? I’m definitely more into big dogs (Oreo was 85 lbs.) but look at that face!!
I think it’s hilarious that they’re just painting over the cast offs! Poor David Hernandez. He’s the former gay male stripper who’s now a future gay male stripper.
Guess who we saw at lunch today? It’s KKKristi Lee Cook. She’s really the one who should have gotten the axe last week.

In what has to be the worst Katrina related relocation ever…..a 75 year old black woman skies to the North Pole! LOL
By Meghan Barr Associated Press Published May 7, 2007
NEW YORK — The bone-numbing trek to the North Pole is riddled with enough perils to make a seasoned explorer quake: Frostbite threatens, polar bears lurk and the ice is constantly shifting beneath frozen feet.
But Barbara Hillary took it all in stride, completing the trek to the world’s northernmost point last month at age 75. She is one of the oldest people to reach the North Pole and is believed to be the first black woman on record to accomplish the feat. Read More…
Simon Cowell’s Protege & The Weird Side of Google
While writing the post below (about kinky searches), I revisited an entry I’d written in February after Jennifer Hudson won the Oscar. That moment was really amazing, and to think that 2 years before, she was waiting tables. Crazy. Likewise, Leona Lewis, the winner of “The X Factor” in England is being touted as the next Mariah Carey. The show is the same “rags to riches” story as American Idol, but this program, (which succeeded the original Pop Idol, and will likely succeed American Idol) is different, in that the judges, Simon Cowell, Sharon Osborne and Louis Walsh each take some of the contestants under their wing. In this hilarious clip Simon gets told off by an 85 year old grandmother. The “Jaws” music is great! LOL
I love Leona’s version of “A Moment Like This”. Unfortunately, I still have to learn how to place anchors in HTML and I didn’t want to put this player on this page, because there’s no way to turn off “auto play” and it annoys me. So if you want to hear it, you’ll have to click below, and scroll down, and then click on the song title. The video gives me goose bumps, but I’m a dork.
The Dark Side of Google
It’s fun having the ability to know what Google searches bring people to your site, but sometimes the searches are downright creepy!! I guess I’m perpetuating it though by pointing them out and letting the search engines find them again. Oh well, such is the Internet. Here’s a recent sampling of what people searched for to end up at my blog(with explanations).
We did run into Paulie Shore at that red carpet premiere the other night, maybe I tagged one of the photos inappropriately. Interesting search though. Maybe it was Paulie himself??
We did go to the bar on the roof of The Standard Hotel downtown, and my friend Mica is Romanian. Are there a lot of Romanian houses with rooftop bars Mica? I guess not, if they have to search for them!
I have a couple of videos of X-Factor winner Leona Lewis. It appears that X rated is embedded in the videos along with X-Factor. Somebody was being naughty!
I did have a post about a woman in London who cut off her husband’s penis in a pizza restaurant, with the joke, don’t have the pepperoni. But this guy was searching for “pepperoni penis”. Coincidence?
Speaking of Dark Google, check this out. There’s some environmental group that claims that if Google switched to a black background they would save 750 Megawatt hours a year (whatever that means), so they’ve formed “Blackle“. This may be taking things a bit far.
My last 100 visitors, yesterday and today. Thanks friends! Wake up Antarctica!
Thanks to Lewis for reminding me what a good movie this was. This actress is 15 and in the movie she’s singing to her parents who always tell her she’s too fat. She should be on American Idol!
ON THE LIGHTER SIDE “In the recent Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race, musher Deborah Bicknell was found on the wrong trail, 18 miles off course. Why can’t women just stop and ask for directions?” — Michael Hinkson, Cooperstown, Pa., writing to syndicated columnist Norman Chad. (The Washington Post)

I finally installed my beta version of Joost. They still don’t have a ton of content, but some of what they have is pretty cool. The first thing I saw was the Christina Aguilera/P Diddy video and the quality was amazing. The other channels weren’t as impressive, but it has potential. As a beta tester I have 5 invitations that I can give out. I’ll make them first come first serve, for whoever wants them. Take a look at the website and the hardware requirements before you decide. If you want an invitation, send me an email at careygly@gmail.com Again, first come, first served
Dar and Lisa brought the boys up today to see Meet the Robinsons at the El Capitan. Afterwards we went to the Kodak Theater, and had lunch. It was a gorgeous sunny day and the kids had a blast. Luckily the Hollywood sign was still standing and flame free. All the smoke had cleared away too, though it was pretty smoggy when looking towards downtown LA. Here are some photos of the kids and a few more of the fire. I’m also including a coupe of videos I took of Tommy and Andy the other night. I need to teach them a new joke
OK, so the other day, I had a problem with my Xanga Photoblog. Since the only way to contact Xanga is via email, I sent a few emails but didn’t get a reply.
Being extremely resourceful, I eventually managed to track down Chris by telephone and he was more than helpful and solved my problem with a few tweaks of code. He even called me back from his cell phone when the problem was solved! I was very appreciative and sent him a thank you email. I know he was wondering how the hell I tracked him down in the Xanga office (as all of their numbers are unpublished). I just told him that I’m used to getting what I want!
When I looked at his Xanga photoblog, I found the cutest pictures of his dog Gromit. They reminded me a lot of my dog Oreo (who I lost some time ago…read more here). I started comparing some of my old pictures of Oreo with pictures of Gromit, and here is the result. Pretty cute huh?
