Come On Over

Today while walking through the park I saw two boys playing monkey in the middle, but instead of a child or a friend as the "monkey in the middle" there was this huge german shepherd. I laughed out loud while walking alone. German Shepherd in the middle? maybe the worst idea ever. I only stuck around long enough to watch the dog attack one guy's leg and I decided I had had enough.

On another note, I spent the past 730 days scouring craigslist for a white sectional couch with skinny legs, and low and behold two pot-smoking, mid-twenties oaklandites had one in their apartment and on Saturday they sold it to us, two non pot-smoking mid-twenty alamedians. It's 7ft x 8ft of pure joy. You, your mom and sister and german shepherd could all fit on it. Laying down.
please disregard the wall heater

I believe that's the same couch I saw in Architectural Digest last month...

1) congratulations on the 730 days of searching meeting with success
2) 'come on over'... isn't that the title of a Christina Aguilera song?
3) The wall heater adds a nice touch

Andy mentioned that Shania Twain also sang Come on Over. We're a wealth of useless pop references.

I'm looking for that same couch! You hit Craigslist (and pot-smoking) gold!

Your blog is quite good.

Who writes these posts: Bret or Whit?

You are so funny.

Bret Baker said...

Whitney writes it of course. Most things I (bret) write are incoherent.

You didn't notice?

That last post was a haiku.

This meme never ends.

Justin Ekins said...

I take it all back.

This haiku thing's getting old.

Sorry about that.

@Justin: hahahaha, genius. It was so weird, when I read the comment I distinctly thought in my head, "this comment has a nice rhythm to it," but I was in such a rush I didn't even realize it was a famous Justin Haiku. Maybe I just grew accustomed to your many haikus that I mistook a haiku for normal Justin speak.

p.s. meme...hahahahaha
