Blogger is back to messing with me. It wont let me upload an image and add text to the same post. Fine. For now. The image below is titled 'Ali'. Ali is the dog of one of my closest friends and this was a birthday gift to her. Ali is also YellowDog's girlfriend. She now lives in Virginia but YellowDog still pines for her...

Im testing Blogger out. It has been FOREVER since I have blogged but that was due to the lack of access to my blog. Now, with my web site almost complete, I thought I had better try out my luck with Blogger. Last time Blogger and I spent regular time together, he decided not to uplaod my images which sucked as thats the primary purpose of Blogger for me. I shouldnt complain, it is working great right now....wish me continued luck!

I have been soooo busy and its been a long time since my last post but I have to say its bloggers fault. Yes, I am pointing blame at Blogger. I htought they were simple and easy but now I find they are just a pain in the ass. In the past month I have found two, yes, TWO "bugs" with their software. The first one they showed me a way to work around the problem but the second one they didnt even try to address. SO here I am making an attempt to work around it myself. If I cant, no images for YellowDog blog and that blows. That means searching for a new way to blog. So here we go...

Most of these are gone by now but I still want to post them. They were fun and I always welcome feedback!

Some of my more recent pieces:

(didnt work; time to look for a FUNCTIONING blog program!)

My favorite recent painting...

This is a test. Apparently I found a bug in blogger when trying to post an image last week. Great I found a bug. I say that slowly and extremely bummed. I spend most of my days at work finding bugs in a software program and then trying to work with CIT guys fixing these bugs or finding not-so-easy ways to work around them. And now Blogger?! Come on...This is supposed to be my work free...bug free time.

Blogger told me how to work around the bug so here I go trying to work around the bug. If you see an image, I was successful. If not, I am sitting at home being pissy mad.

The picture you are HOPEFULLY seeing is YellowDog looking down into my studio. He wants me to stop painting and come upstairs and cuddle on the couch! I usually submit to this look before too long.

I dont think I would have retained this conversation except "bastard" seems to be my word of choice this week.

Conversation from the ladies room moments ago...

Female student 1: I dont know what it is, I just HATE Mozart.

Female student 2: Just because you hate him doesnt mean everything he did is bad.

Female student 1: No, I guess not. I mean, I guess he had a couple good hits. Its just that he didnt put any heart and soul into his music. He just whipped 'em out like a crazy bastard.

Female student 2: Yeah, I guess.

Femal student 3: I mean, its not like he is Kurt Cobain or anything.

My new favorite picture. Ok, not so "new" but I have been slacking on taking photos also.
Anyway, here the dog!
