\nDede had an emergency today. She got 5 foxtails up her little schnoz. It was karma, I think, because she was messing around by the grapes in the backyard, and she knows she’s really not supposed to do that. In Japanese there is a phrase, “Bachi ga ataru,” which basically means if you do something you know you shouldn’t, it’s going to come back to haunt you. I heard that phrase all the freakin’ time from my mother, and she was always right. Poor Chunkster Melonhead had to spend the whole day at the vet. First they had to “empty her stomach” because of course she ate breakfast RIGHT before the foxtail incident, then they had to anesthetize her to extract these (WARNING: GRAPHIC PHOTO TO FOLLOW):

I checked all the online ticketing places, and finally I grew desperate enough to try HotWire, which is like Priceline in that you have to commit to a purchase before knowing the flight times. I was scared I was going to get all 6am flights, but it worked out really well, and I ended up saving $84!! The only drawback is I won’t get to see Jonathan Lethem read at Powell’s.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
