Since I last posted I got a job at a Doggy Daycare called Metrodog
Here's some pics of the pups
Honestly the hardest part is the endless milling around the dogs at my feet. That's when the day drags. It's awesome to learn the names and personalities and scratch and love and play but it's really just passing time. If i have to give somebody a bath or clean cages or clean off the poop deck there's a beginning and an end to the task, with the play room it's just walk in circles and break up any playing that gets too rough and then go back to walking around until i'm told to do something else. We rotate out ipods and blast music which varies depending on the ipod but so far everyone's got killer taste in music. I've gotten close with this one guy Matt because we've got some similar tastes and we both used to work printing gigs. Found out he and another of my co-workers are planning on going to the flying lotus show on the 28th which would be awesome. They also told me that a bunch of their friends went to see this lady:
MISS AMANDA FUCKING PALMER! Amanda came out and personally introduced every opening act (which were side bands/solo projects of her backup band and these two guys, Ronald Reagan, "Boston's Premier 80's Pop Cover Saxophone Duet" (also the title of their album). They walked on, spoke a bit, played "Don't Stop Believin'" and "Beat It" in their entireties then bowed and walked off stage. It was incredible.
Then Amanda came on with the Grand Theft Orchestra. 8 Horns, 6 Strings. An amazing Drummer, Bass player and Guitarist.
As a closer she had Ronald Reagan come back out and they did a cover of "Careless Whisper". Everyone got a solo and the camera girl jenn stole the mic then mounted herself on the drummer's shoulders while he did his solo. THAT was awesome to WATCH.
They then ran off stage and snuck up to the balcony to play "Want it Back" acoustically which was a lot of fun.
After they did that I ran upstairs and got to see the whole crew run by me giggling before they went back onstage to play "Leeds United". A great show. Dylan and Simone both loved it.
...oh wait, I didn't mention Simone. SIMONE CAME TO VISIT!

These are our two friends Hope and Clara. Clara is my cousin Zoe's friend from NYC who moved out here a week after us and lives ten blocks away. Awesome!
On the right is Debra. She's a lovely lady we met at a couchsurfing meetup. She was introduced to us by larry because she was from new jersey...and she went to rutgers...and grew up one town over from where I grew up...and just moved here...TRI-STATE TRANSPLANTS UNITE!!!
The pictures work for me. I especially like the one with all the dog breeds looking at the camera.
