69. give us this day our daily diet coke.

the pop culture conference is just a few weeks away and so i have finally begun assembling my presentation.
it is bringing back nice memories of frequent outbursts of laughter in our cataloging office during that project, especially last spring when the items in the collection took particularly weird turns on a daily basis.
i'm happy to continue sharing these things with a small pocket of the world this month.



in other news, my mom adopted a 9-year-old dog today.
she said that when his ears flop behind his head, he looks like dobby the house elf.

i tried removing his red eye with photo editing software, but it made him look like he had no soul or pupils. rock on, pup.

20. true.

i met with my writing adviser this afternoon and we talked about urine for 25 minutes.
you know, among other intellectual, authorly topics.

painted about the death of charles gough, whose body was found three months after he disappeared and fell to his death, with his dog still by his side, guarding his body.
this event inspired several paintings, as well as the poem helvellyn by sir walter scott.
it also brings to mind the saddest moment in animated television.

 two.

art: suggestive.
