Here are some pictures of my dogs. Frodo turned out to be an amazing therapy dog after my surgery and Sam liked sleeping on my head.

My sweet sweet pups
Ok, I know I'm one of those weird dog people but I thought that since my dogs have more personality than some people I know, I would dedicate a blog to them and post some pictures.

American Apparel = boogie nights?
American Apparel makes excellent utilitarian wardrobe basics such as leggings, henleys and T-shirts. I think they operate out of downtown Los Angeles, employ local workers and also have an organic line. I've bought some shirts and leggings from them in the past and wore them nearly every week because they were just so comfortable. As I currently peruse their website, however, I find myself peeved. Many of their articles of clothing are just ridiculous. Where do they think everyone goes every day, studio 54? Take for example this pair of shorts, which no one over 12 could wear in public, let alone work out in:
While some of their retro styles (the ones that normal people can wear) are cool, they should use their natural, cozy fabrics and design some real clothes. In the mean time, next time you're looking for some great T's don't go to the gap, order from American Apparel.

Aww..baby angels
I'm not a huge fan of Whoopi but I thought this was really funny. She delivers the joke really well.

Ahhh, technology....
I want netflix to do this so we can watch movies instantly on our big TV. They also need to expand their collection of movies they have available for live streaming.

Blood Diamond
In keeping with African theme of the past few posts, here is a little clip from blood diamond. I have to give props to DiCaprio in this film. Usually actors playing South Africans come out with some weird mix of Australian and Britsh accents. His was pretty decent. The writers also did a really good job of incorporating slang and phrases that are very specific to South Africans and their sense of humor. Oh ...and he dresses like a Boer:)

A little joke about the recent power shortages in South Africa
First there was white power
Then there was black power
Now there is no power
