you might find it hard to believe, seeing as it hasn’t really been mentioned, but the cabled cardigan is done! Honestly, the only reason I take so long to finish a sweater is that, with beer being taxed at 86% in utah, i have to save up to buy the celebratory drink!

Man wird vielleicht erstaunt, da ich ihn kaum erwähnt habe, aber der Cabled Cardigan ist fertig!. Leider muss ich langsam stricken um mir meinen feierlichen Umtrunk zu leisten, da Bier im Utah auf 86% besteuert ist.

chewing!

ankauen!

ow

last weekend a friend dropped by (at 10 p.m., as i was starting to get ready for bed) who is going through some ’stuff’ and exudes ’stuff’. This makes dogie nervous. Dogie does not like people with a lot of ’stuff’. At one point in the evening, Dogie came over and nosed our friend, “hey buddy, take your stuff and get out of here!” But he did not get the picture. So, koala got the brunt of dogie’s discomfort…

needs a patch

Am wochenende kam ein Bekannter vorbei (gegen 2200 Uhr, als ich anfinge mich bereit fürs schlafen machen wollte). Dieser Bekannte geht zur Zeit durch einige harte ‘Sachen’, und trägt seine ‘Sachen’ um sich, wenn Du verstehst was ich meine. ‘Sachen’ gefallen dogie nicht. Irgendwann kam er an den bekannten und hat ihn mit seiner Nase geschubst, “He, Du, pack Deine Sachen und hau ab!”, aber der Bekannte hat es nicht gerafft. Also musste Koala die Hauptlast Dogies Unbehagen tragen.

The good news is, of course, that dogie took to Koala about a month ago and Koala is hi ‘main’ friend at the moment.

Die gute Nachrichten sind, dass Dogie Koala seit einem Monat als Hauptfreund behaltet.
