MY NAME IS PDAWG, AND I AM A PANDA-HOLIC...
| A few weeks ago, I was reading some of my most favoritest blogs, and as I perused Joelle's home, I came across a link which she had billed as "the cutest thing ever."
Of course, I am not one to turn down a peek at cuteness, much less the cutest thing EVER. So, I clicked the link. It has now been about 2 weeks, and I have been unable to stop watching. Honestly. I have been glued to this thing. The other night, I was actually paying more attention to this panda-cam than I was to the hockey game that was on TV. There is something most definitely wrong with this picture, folks. The thing is, I can't stop watching because I am afraid that as soon as I turn the thing off, the baby panda will do something. Most of the time, the activity of the little bugger is relatively limited. I am usually online at night, at which time, he is usually asleep. Hence, not a whole lot of activity. But, every now and then, the little guy stirs in his sleep. Sometimes, he actually wakes up and crawls around. If I am lucky, the mom will show up and interact with the baby. THOSE moments are like hitting the panda-cam jackpot. It's gold, Jerry. Gold. Anyway, I have gotten several other people just as addicted as I am, and so, I don't feel badly for watching so much. There are others out there who are now FAR worse than I am. ¶ Ξ PDawg Composed at 10:33:00 PM |
ONCE MORE, WITH FEELING
| Halloween will soon be upon us.
In honor of the day, FX will be running 10 hours of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer." Make sure you check in for at least some of the marathon. It's the best show on television. [And, incidentally, for those of you who are devoted fans of the show, you will be glad to see that now FX is showing re-runs of all seven seasons of "Buffy," and that season 7's "Lessons" kicks off Monday morning at 7 am.] Woo hoo! ¶ Ξ PDawg Composed at 10:23:00 PM |

SHAKEN, NOT STIRRED
| If nothing else, I learned a little bit about myself this weekend.
I am a simple person. I like simple things. A nice Oktoberfest beer will keep me happy for hours. Guinness will keep me happy forever. I'm not fussy when it comes to drinks. I don't need anything fancy that has to be mixed and swirled and chilled and garnished and all that other crap. Put a glass under the tap, and pull the handle. That's enough for me. However, this past weekend in Philly, I decided that I needed to see why martinis are all the rage. James Bond has been drinking them for years. I saw at least five people order them in the bar where we were on Saturday alone. I figured, what the hell--I'm in the city. No better time than now to order a "fancy" drink. I like vodka drinks, and I lurve me some olives. Makes sense...should be right up my alley. So, I ordered a dirty Grey Goose martini, thinking that the olive juice would help tame the taste of the straight vodka... ...$10.00 later, I am choking down a martini because I refuse to waste the $10.00 I just spent. Now, I will say this: it was worth the $10.00 I paid because that stinking drink gave me insta-buzz. I could not believe how immediately drunk I felt. I now understand what all the rage is about. It's like liquid crack. Still, I just don't see the appeal of the traditional martini. It wasn't tasty to me at all. Perhaps it is all the years of beer that I have consumed. I think the martini is definitely an acquired taste. Personally, I don't think I want to acquire the taste for that. It's a really expensive taste, and one which I don't particularly enjoy, might I add. The martini is for serious drinkers. I will stick to my beer, but at least I can say I gave it a shot--well, more like several shots, all in one glass. ¶ Ξ PDawg Composed at 11:32:00 PM |

PDAWG DOES PHILADELPHIA
| Just to let everyone know, I will be heading down I-76 this weekend and spending some quality time with my friend Brian who lives in the city. I am so psyched to go. It seems like it has been forever since our last jaunt down to Philly for a visit. Last time we were down was when we went to the Flyers/Red Wings game last season. That would have been in January. Yikes. It HAS been a while.
Since then, much has happened; not the least of which was the untimely passing of Bri's cat, Murphy. The poor guy. Brian took it kinda rough, but has since been wrangled into adopting a new kitty. So, this visit's priority will be to see the new feline. Can't wait. I hear he's a cutie. Not much else is set in stone for the weekend, other than a trip to Chinatown for dinner. We have all been craving some Chinese food, and so, that will probably be Saturday. Friday night is a definite McCrossen's night. Good ol' "Tiger" Ed will be tending bar at McCrossen's Friday, and it is always nice to spend some time hanging in the neighborhood with all of the usual characters. McCrossen's Tavern, for those of you who may not be familiar with the establishment, is a wonderful bar/restaurant located at about 20th & Spring Garden in Philadelphia. Many a Guinness has been had at this place. It was also the spot where Steve Buscemi came in and sat down next to me and 3 of my friends at 1:00 am on a Saturday night. We were very drunk, and the only ones in the place, and my friend kept saying in a VERY loud, drunken whisper, "That's Mr. Pink! It's Mr. Pink! Guys! Look, it's Mr. Pink!" *sigh* Good times... Yup. I can't wait to spend the weekend again. *grin* ¶ Ξ PDawg Composed at 10:48:00 PM |
TAKE THY BEAK FROM OUT MY HEART

How disappointed am I that I will be missing THIS? I shall speak of it nevermore... ¶ Ξ PDawg Composed at 12:20:00 AM |
HELLO, VICAR...
 I went shopping today, once again, for things I don't really need, and whilst I was browsing the DVD's at Barnes & Noble, I stumbled across this little gem.It was sooooo not a planned purchase. But it was soooooo a purchase that I have literally been waiting years for. I snatched it up immediately. I love Britcoms. Specifically, The Vicar of Dibley and Absolutely Fabulous. The reason: French and Saunders. Dawn French and Jennifer Saunders have to be two of the funniest people on the planet. Together, they spent years performing their comedy skits, and they also have produced numerous comedy specials which are now available on DVD, and are some of the most hilarous pieces of comedy around. It was during their years together that they developed the idea for Absolutely Fabulous, and the original skit can be seen on their DVD, "Gentlemen Prefer French and Saunders."  Ab Fab is a wonderful series, and today, in addition to my purchase of my Vicar set, Susan also purchased copies of Absolutely Fabulous--Absolutely Special, which contains the two Ab Fab specials, "The Last Shout" (Saffy's wedding) and "In New York" (the search for Serge), as well as 2 of the French and Saunders DVD's.I, myself, am more of a Vicar fan, and so I was elated to purchase my set. Now I have something to hold me over until December when Buffy the Vampire Slayer: The Complete Fifth Season is released. ¶ Ξ PDawg Composed at 12:02:00 AM |

THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAR
| Ah...it's hockey season.
I love me some hockey. And, this season, several of us have taken the plunge--we splurged and signed up for Center Ice® (available through your local cable provider), and we can now watch every single NHL game this year. Already, it has taken its toll. Friday and Saturday nights were both spent *gulp* at home watching hockey. I will be getting absolutely NO work done this year until April. ¶ Ξ PDawg Composed at 10:53:00 PM |
