Sweater Bunny and Friends

I don't know if this is weird. I have a small collection of pictures of animals in sweaters. For a while I was posting these little by little on my friend Tim's Myspace, but then I got rid of Myspace and no longer had anywhere to post my sweater animals. Then I realized, I have a blog! So, there is no substance to this post...pretty much like most of my posts. It's just a fun little scroll-through of my sweater animal collection, plus some other fun pictures that I have amassed from the internet. Enjoy!



The original Sweater Bunny, the one that started it all (for me, anyway).



I don't have many dogs. Dogs in sweaters are pretty common.





(This one is weird...what's in the sleeve?)



Not a sweater, but still so cute!



The majority of my collection is cats. Awwww.


A squirrel...

A llama...


I've even got an aardvark.




TREE SWEATERS!

The following are not animals in sweaters, they're just cute pictures:




I STILL DO NOT BELIEVE THAT THESE HORSES ACTUALLY EXIST!


From xkcd:


And this one isn't cute so much as very odd. A guy I know took this picture a couple months ago. Please notice the street sign in the background and then realize that this was taken at the corner of Enterprise Road and McMullen Booth Road and if you were from my home town, that would mean something.


Goodnight.

John McCain visited the Moffitt Cancer Center and Research Institute at the University of South Florida in Tampa today. Cindy McCain (just behind Father Time) looks like she's trying very hard not to grab the back of his head and shove. I know I would be.

I gave my final speech today (on Harold Edgerton and his incredible work) and turned in my English portfolio. I got an A on my research paper about Kate Chopin and on my last essay, so yay! My prof seemed kind of scary when the semester first started but I ended up really liking her. She asked me what I was majoring in and when I told her education she got really excited and said she thought that would be perfect for me. I am a teacher's pet and I am not ashamed.

I then photographed my friend Stephanie in the studio for her graduation announcements. I was done with that around 4:57 (that's what time it was when I got in the car to leave). Caecus had to go to class and he had our house keys so I've been stuck in the school library since around 5:20 (that's what time it was when I got back to the school after driving all the way home before realizing I couldn't get in). We always meet at the library when I come pick him up so he should be downstairs waiting for me in, you know, between 15 minutes 45 minutes. And he forgot his phone. Oi.

Stephanie and I finished our documentary project for Editorial last night. It's good. Real good. I'll put it up when I get around to uploading it to the internets. We turn that in tomorrow. This semester is wrapping up quickly.

Caecus and I saw an old man with a big white beard on a pink Vespa today.

It was awesome!!!

Here's just a few evening amusers:

Paula Dean's The Lady's Brunch Burger


Recipe:
1 1/2 pounds ground beef
3 tablespoons freshly chopped parsley leaves
2 tablespoons grated onion
House Seasoning, recipe follows
2 tablespoons butter
3 eggs
6 slices bacon, cooked
3 hamburger buns
3 English muffins
6 glazed donuts

Mix the ground beef, chopped parsley and grated onion together in a large mixing bowl. Season liberally, with House Seasoning. Form 3 hamburger patties.

Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat and spray with non-stick cooking spray. Add the burgers and cook until desired temperature, 4 to 5 minutes per side for medium-rare.

Fry bacon in a hot pan until crisp. Remove and drain on paper towels. Set aside.

While burgers are cooking, heat a non-stick pan, over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons butter. Crack 3 eggs into the pan. Cook until the yolks are just set and still slightly runny and remove.

Place burger patties on English muffins or buns, and if desired, on glazed donuts, as the buns. Top each burger with 2 pieces of bacon and a fried egg.

House Seasoning:
1 cup salt
1/4 cup black pepper
1/4 cup garlic powder

Mix ingredients together and store in an airtight container for up to 6 months.

Yeah, that's right. It's a burger....with a fried egg....and bacon....ON TWO GLAZED DONUTS!!! Caecus, Rae, and I have discussed it and we all firmly believe that Paula Dean is trying to kill her fan base so that she can harvest their souls and use them as an elixir of youth. Paula Dean is a Soul Harvester. ...That actually makes her sound a lot cooler.

And now, the award for Happiest Dog Wearing an Adhesive Bra on its Butt. Direct from Cute Overload, it's...

THIS LITTLE GUY!!!

Over at Shakesville, Mustang Bobby has up this bit about the Florida Senate debating whether or not to fine people with those charming truck testicles. The word "truckyness" is involved, I kid you not.

Ok, and you know what? Say what you will about the band, the song, the costumes, whatever, but honestly, there is no denying the ingenuity and pleasing aesthetics of the video for Red Hot Chili Pepper's "Give It Away":

Argue if you must, but I will defend my position. And it is a very strong defense.

Ok, I guess that's it. Someone ought to leave me a comment. DO IT!
