I Heart Meg White

Last night I went to see the White Stripes with my friend Jaimie. I was absolutely blown away. I mean, I love the White Stripes as much as the next guy, but now I really believe that you don't get the full magnitude until you see them live. First of all, I used to think that I wanted to marry Jack White, but now, I'm pretty sure I want to marry Meg. She was captivating - I can't believe how tiny she is with all the banging away she does - I couldn't keep my eyes off of her.


This picture isn't from the show I saw, but for those of you not familiar with Meg White and her crazy robot arms, this is her.

Also, it's baffling how so much great sound can come out of two people. Just two people. On a stage with a bunch of instruments (including huge timpani drums and a giant xylophone), two people - CRAZY. I would pay to see them again tomorrow if they had another show. So awesome.

When I got home from the amazing show, my apartment smelled like cigars cause Sexy Boyfriend had some friends over for poker. I love cigars, but I can't stand the smell that lingers - luckily today the smell is gone thanks to rigorous fan action all day. After those boys left, we had a little snack, and then, The Violence.

Charlie really likes food. And he doesn't like when anyone else is around food. So, while we were preparing our snackage in the kitchen, we were munching on some other random things, and Charlie was sitting watching us. Then Gabby decided to come into the kitchen to see what was going on. Bad idea - Charlie had no intention of letting her get between him and grub of any kind, and thus he proceeded to attack her, biting her several times, most notably in the ear. This kind of scene usually happens about once a week, but he usually doesn't bite very hard, he is more trying to scare her away. So, I crouched down and hugged Gabby and told her she was a Good Girl and that I loved her while Sexy Boyfriend banished Charlie from the kitchen.

When I stood up, Sexy Boyfriend said "There's blood on the floor" and there was blood on the floor - giant drops of blood. And blood all over my arms. I pawed and inspected Gabby, trying to find out where the blood was coming from, whilst trying not to faint. I hate blood. Finally, I found a tiny puncture on her ear. And it continued to bleed and bleed and bleed and I applied pressure diligently with a papertowel. It finally stopped bleeding, we cleaned up the mess and had our snack and all was right in the land.

Until the ear started bleeding again! I couldn't believe it. So, again with the pressure and the clean-up, and finally we ended up putting a clear bandaid on her ear. She kept it on all night, and I'm too scared to take it off.

I'm watching the Emmy's right now. Here are a few comments I have:
1. Of all the Arquettes, Patricia is by far the least creepy, however still creepy enough that I will never ever ever watch the show Medium
2. I love the award for best writing in a variety show - they always show either funny pictures of the writers, or pretend the writers are people they aren't. One show this year (I think it was Da Ali G Show) showed pictures of porn star faces while they were orgasming. Hilarious.
3. Donald Trump looks funny without a tie and should keep his tiny old lady arms covered at all times.

I'm out for now - I am pretty excited that I can be found using the Blogger blog search tool (www.blogger.com), however my goal of making Google hasn't happened yet. One day, one day.

I ripped off Gabby's band-aid today, which was pretty rough. Kinda like a low-budg waxing. She seems okay, though. Not sure why Charlie is so grumpy.
