Dog Blogging

Liz and I have made a Major Decision (finally, after months of deliberation) in our lives: we have decided to get a dog.

Yes, that’s right.  We will be adding to our family of two lesbians and two cats… and the new addition will be (hopefully) an English Bulldog (you may have seen them as the Georgetown or University of Georgia mascots)!!  The arrangements are almost in place, we have 2 breeders lined up and puppies we like a lot (they are SO cute it’s almost painful)… the last thing to do is make sure that English Bulldogs are not on our apartment building’s list of breed restrictions.  Once that’s done, I just have to make the payments and arrange shipping, and boom - hello bulldog!!!

It’s going to be a girl, and we have a few name ideas but we’re taking suggestions.  Tinkerbell and Gertrude are the top 2 right now.  :)

When I was in college, there was a campus-wide game of “Assassins” every year (check out that wikipedia link if you don’t know how the game works) and I always participated because it was just plain awesome… I mean there were people sneaking around and hiding in trees and ambushing each other and it was just good clean fun.  I mean really, what could be more fun than getting to run around campus assassinating your friends all the while trying to escape your own assassin?  It was crazy times for those 2 weeks on campus.

Anyway, possibly even cooler, is the current DC city-wide game of assassins going on right at this very moment! I somehow did not know about this in time to register (because, you know, I have nothing better to do with my time), and so I sadly am not participating… but I did see a guy get TOTALLY wiped out on his way to his car by another dude jumping out of a tree with a water gun.  Awesome!!! Right?  Liz disagrees, due to stalking fear and other very reasonable practical concerns… but the idea seems awesome beyond even anything I could imagine.

Next year, I’m going to register, and I’m totally going to be the DC ninja.  Ever hear of Jewish lightning baby?  Yeah that’s right, you won’t even know what hit you! *grin*
