because everyone loves looking at puppies.

First, puppies casually being perfect:

And, second:

Oh, yeah, that’s just an adorable monkey carrying an adorable puppy away from a fire after a pipeline explosion in China. My heart can’t take that shit!

Speaking of shit, the girl next to me at work listens to the radio during the day. When you listen to the radio during the day, you hear some of the same songs over and over, like Katy Perry’s “California Gurls” [Ed. Note: really, with the “gurls”? How does that add to the song?]. I have heard “California Gurls” at least four times today, and while I used to enjoy the song for its airy pop wonderfulness, I’m starting to hate it. Four times in eight hours is way too many times. (But ask me again when I’ve been drinking, and dancing.) You really should read this, though.

I’m trying to blog more, kids. I really am! Send me good, motivational vibes. And funny things.

nothing beats tuesday blues like puppies!

This YouTube video should entertain even those who aren’t obsessed with puppies to the degree that I am.  Watch this little girl magically escape from her crate.

Hope everyone had a fantastic Labor Day weekend!

youtube clip of today: hairless cat.

So I found this video on CUTE THINGS FALLING ASLEEP, the blog that makes me feel better even after openly weeping over my GRE math practice test.  (Oh yeah, the real one is going to be a blast.)  This cat is definitely falling asleep, but it only got a cuteness rating of 1 on the 1-5 scale.  Well.  It’s because it’s hairless!  ( Yeah yeah yeah, like Mr. Bigglesworth.)  Discrimination!  Bigots!  Hairists!

Okay, it’s a pretty heinous cat.  And I don’t recommend watching the entire three minutes of it falling asleep.  Seriously, cat people are so weird.  Why would they think the internet wants to watch a cat fall asleep for three minutes?!  Thirty seconds would do just fine.

Regardless, enjoy the hairless cat.

Not cute enough for you?

Or, my personal favorite:

Man, I feel like that some days.

you are so beautiful, to me.

Gus, a Chinese Crested Hairless, won the illustrious and much coveted title of World’s Ugliest Dog on Sunday in Florida. He has three legs, one eye, and one hell of a personality. He apparently slept through most of the competition.

And I’m freaking out. Why? Because I have a Chinese Crested Hairless dog.

My beautiful boy, Dr. Seuss (because he looks like a Dr. Seuss book character, duh), is amazing. And not ugly! I swear! But ugly is what people think of when they know the breed. Most of the recent past winners of the competition have all been at least part Chinese Crested.

So sure, Gus and Dr. Seuss might not be the picturesque puppies you see in the Purina commercials. I cannot tell you how many times people have asked me if Seuss was on chemo. Chinese Cresteds’ conventional beauty is on the inside-just like many humans. Maybe it’s just me, but instead of mocking their lack of soft and fluffy, we should be taking a minute to acknowledge how unique they are and appreciate the fact that they make us laugh. Haha, okay, that might just be me.

Anyway, I just wanted to post the link to the slide show of the competitors this year so that you could have a good laugh. (I laughed out loud a lot.) It was a tough year! My favorite is Squiggy. He looks badass.

Also, here is Sam, a three-time champion of the competition. If he hadn’t died, I’m sure he’d still be the champion. I’m obviously sensitive about the way people treat the breed, but I can say that this is legitimately the ugliest dog ever.
