I love many a thing like food, and awaking my human with wiggles and tail wags and sniffing sidewalk gum before I pee on it and food. Not many things do I not love. But I am annoyed by a yapping puppy, other dogs taking attention that  should be mine. Want more? Come meet me! (Prompt by me)

How long did I spend scuffed, without a future morsel? It is beyond me. Then came the grimy cage and the deathly smell I wished not to become. Hands. kind, warm, whisked me up and flew me to a safe place that was not mine. Caring beings  homed me but found me ill. I returned til I came home, loved. (Prompt by me)

Moments before isolation I found you lacking a home. Your spotted ears opened my eyes wide in new adoration. I asked a dear friend to take me to you Sunday. You paid me a sniff of attention and convinced me that you found me lacking a you moments before isolation. (Prompt by me) Photo by Elena Westbrook

I've never been fed. My human scoops food, gives treats. I've never been fed. What is sidewalk squish? I scratch. I sniff. Then I pee. Now it is my squish. I am only dog. Must always receive most love for you're my human. Soft fur strokes comfort. Body wiggles curly tail spring surprised smiles. I bark to protect. I wiggle to delight, goof. I snuggle to love. (Prompt by me)

I'm catching up on all my TLC shows! My god them all in the hotel room together is so awkward From previews we know that Ariela delivers in Ethiopia so there isn't suspense for this segment I totally thought the sun and cloud welcome painting was a UFO Pretty sure you also pay extra for a private room in the US too THEY'RE IN A BIG CITY, OF COURSE THE HOSPITAL HAS A NICU I think Ariela's mom was kinda rude, but at least now she knows the hospital is great At least Tim knows some Spanish I love that Melyza is so excited about the cat Yeah based on pictures I think Tim has gained weight Melyza said it was just the four of them, but if you count humans it's two and if you count humans and animals it's five... Aw try some chicken feet, why not? It's good for Deavan to show her mom some stuff in Korea because, no matter what happens, her grandson is half Korean so it'd be good for her to know SOMETHING about Korea Aha Deavan does know some Korean Drascilla is...

My baby skills are increasing! When burping a baby, it's best to put some pressure on their lower abdomen Once a baby poops, wait a few minutes to change their diaper because they may poop again How to swaddle a baby (at least with a specific swaddle, not just a random cloth) Pacifiers are magic (also I only just thought of now how the name is about pacifying...dang) Sponge bathing a baby can make them cold and unhappy Burping a baby even when they don't need to be burped can be soothing You can have too many personalized things for the baby...how are you going to pass it along? Newborn poop isn't that gross It's so sad when you've been holding a baby on your shoulder and then you switch their position so they can see your face and then they just start crying I'm getting better at going up and down stairs while holding a baby and not taking a million years to do so One (of many) hunger cue is a baby putting their fist in their mouth Baby nails are just too tiny ...

Right now I'm staying with my friends Emily and Joe because they have a new baby and I hope to be "Aunt Holly" to this baby. Here are some things I've learned about the baby so far. She has hiccups a lot and they are adorable She is super soft She seems to have a knack for timing poops and spit up so as to maximize mess To get her to stop fussing sometimes all I have to do is switch which shoulder she's on She needs still more alligator things She looks adorable in the onesies I decorated for her (well all onesies, but mine are better 😜) Her eyes sometimes seem to change color I can hear when she poops White noise is often essential in getting her to calm down/sleep While she will fight a swaddle like no other, it does help her sleep She has a tight grip The family dog loves sniffing her She is gaining weight like a champ She likes being hoisted up high She's cute even when she cries (Prompt by me) Respecting my niece's privacy but also kinda making her l...

Not blogging while it's live...will this change anything? Andrei is so open about his hatred for Libby's family Coming to Moldova wasn't in your wildest dreams even after your daughter married someone from Moldova? Oh my god these questions are so dumb My god these people are dumb. LOTS OF LANDLOCKED AREAS HAVE FISH TO EAT LOTS OF PEOPLE MOVE AWAY FROM FAMILY Libby, he's not being open about why he moved to Ireland because he lied to you Colt, considering your relationship with your mom...how is it weird that Jess wants her dad to approve of you? Debbie wooing is so funny Debbie liked those kisses HOW IS JESS'S DAD WEIRD? I mean maybe something happens later, but so far he's normal This food looks good Debbie, why are you bringing up Larissa? I mean, Colt, whether you love Jess and want to marry her shouldn't be hard to answer since you've previously said that you are in love and marriage is the plan... I love that Angela's shirt says 'FLAWLESS...

I am curious to see how the final three thought the finale went. I do think it's weird to have something after the finale. But maybe it's like a reunion? I love that we see the person carrying Shea's train "I got to touch two bums" I feel like they should've sat Blair on the side of the top three instead of in the middle This is sweet I agree that it seems like we are getting to see Derrick My god, India will not let this Alexis thing go Wait was apolo-lie a thing before the Widow? "My mind is a fishbowl with nothing in it but pebbles and vodka" Jujubee: Derrick, Shea: Mayhem, Cracker: Blair "That's Shea Coulee, duh" WOO! CHICAGO! I like seeing the final three altogether after the decision is made Do they actually all go to the airport together? I wonder what the prize is after taxes (Prompt by me) RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars Untucked VH1 Screenshot source

Okay so the order I want them to win in is: Shea, Jujubee, Cracker. I wonder how Jujubee knew someone had voted for her Jujubee you always have to give it your all though, to be fair "Titty fight" I love them all fighting I find Blair's shiver thing funny, but I heard that she was really trying to push it as her brand I wonder if they would all say this is the top three they expected no matter who it was Jujubee's facial expressions are gold Did you all really not think the eliminated queens would appear again? Ah, yes, a classic get the queens to write your song for you challenge Time to bring back the Derrick and India drama even though they've been gone Oh so did the queens all get a rundown of what happened while they were gone? INDIA IS STICKING WITH HER STORY??? SHE HAS SINCE SAID THEY JUST ASKED HER AFTER IF SHE VOTED FOR SHEA Okay wait how are people not hearing the story now? India is saying that she was asked after she voted Mayhem is rig...

Will all the couples FINALLY be together after this episode? Yes, Brittany, you shouldn't have come here Neither of you respect each other Dear lord Brittany has a full on meltdown On the plus side, Brittany, you can undo this "worst decision of your life" I love that they went from like worst couple to best THEY'RE SO CUTE The banner is adorable! Kenny's dog looks like a zombie Air conditioners and heaters can be bought Banking apps work, y'all Ah a classic kick the cameras out for sex scene Tim's lower third should always say "Cheesestick" I feel like Tim and Melyza did have a very sweet start Melyza is genuinely upset with him So Melyza's dad finding out is going to be a plot point Divorces can take 2-5 years in the US as well You are literally on TV...that is making it public Did...Jenny take Sumit's virginity? Jihoon is like 7 years older than Deavan so don't tell me about what young people do Jihoon's m...

I cannot wait to see more of Debbie and Colt in Brazil. Wow Colt and Jess are actually having alone time They're getting french fries? Thank goodness they got another hotel room "Debbie is not old lady cute" Colt is a baby man So did Colt and Jess bond over having dead parents? Oh man are we going to see Debbie drunk? Is someone driving a stick sexy? Is this just something I don't get? Yes, casino wedding Dear lord, they're in Moldova, they should eat traditional food Hrm I wonder if Moldovan police are known to be corrupt...specifically if Andrei was corrupt Yikes Andrei and Libby arguing is baaaad I genuinely wonder what domestic violence classes are like Um...Is Adam branding himself the DUI Doctor? Someone a big neon sign that says that feels really problematic Larissa...don't say why you'd be a bad employee on national television? Ah so it was domestic violence counseling I do genuinely hope Larissa can stay in the US Is Angela actu...

Rest in power. “Get in good trouble, necessary trouble, and help redeem the soul of America.” “I say to people today, 'You must be prepared if you believe in something. If you believe in something, you have to go for it. As individuals, we may not live to see the end.'” “When you see something that is not right, not fair, not just, you have to speak up. You have to do something.” “Freedom is not a state; it is an act. It is not some enchanted garden perched high on a distant plateau where we can finally sit down and rest. Freedom is the continuous action we all must take, and each generation must do its part to create an even more fair, more just society.” “You are a light. You are the light. Never let anyone—any person or any force—dampen, dim or diminish your light. Study the path of others to make your way easier and more abundant.” “Every generation leaves behind a legacy. What that legacy will be is determined by the people of that generation. What legacy do you wa...

I think I get to pick a category this week because two will be expiring, so time to brainstorm.

As always, I can't wait to see the votes. Shea's puppet joke was funny, but like it was obvious it was going to go for a hand up her butt joke Ah Blair you gotta have the punchline on the same page I wonder how long they got for this transition of looks I do like that all the queens love each other at this point I would love if I saw Jujubee in that outfit at the supermarket Blair, you can't keep saying you'll come back with a vengeance  There is no use in guessing the lip sync assassin  The song has 29,000 words? That's an exaggeration, yes? [I looked up the lyrics and it does seem to have a lot of words but I mostly just think it isn't an entertaining lip sync song] I want them all to hug so much more Blair...I really don't know what you expected So Blair picked Jujubee...I wonder why her over Shea Oh yeah I just realized that the queens didn't know that they'll get a video I'm glad Blair has found more confidence and more of her...

So close to the finale! Cracker really did make them think that she'd picked someone else Okay I do have such a hard time believing that people thought Blair had been doing better than Alexis I mean Blair is probably going home this episode Haha I thought AS5 was spelling ass too Jujubee...did you really think Blair was going to be in the top 4 from day one? I love comedy challenges Sorry, when has Blair been cracking the judges up? Also, there should've been a joke of Cracker cracking people up Wow, no queen has ever been so up front to competitors as to why she picked the order she did Cracker is acting like her telling them all how she's going to screw them over is just being a competitor and like...it's not Ha I love them telling Jujubee that Craccker's plan is gonna fail Okay I got Jujubee's sleep paralysis joke "I wouldn't open with the STD" "Remember the formula of funny" I do think Jujubee is gonna end up doing fi...

If I could cast my own season of All Stars  and have 15 queens, here are the ones I'd pick: Heidi N. Closet-I firmly believe she is the most charming queen of all time Nina West-the heart of season 11 and one of the nicest queens of all time Widow Von'du-I really loved Willow this last season and I think she just got in her head but has so much more to show and to say Latrice Royale-I mean if I get to cast this season there are clearly no rules anymore so why not include the first queen who really stole my heart? BenDeLaCreme-Yes, I know she left the season of All Stars  she was on but she's so talented  Max-I just remember Max for really trying to help queens during her season and I think she also had some great moments so I'd like to see her back Kim Chi-She is so funny and has some of the best makeup of all time Mayhem Miller-She is Eugene's drag mom and I want her to have as many chances as she wants Vanessa Vanjie Mateo-Face of angel, voice of a toad...

We better get Brittany and Yazan this episode. Yes, back on board the Brittany and Yazan train wreck Brittany, how do you two think you can make a life together? YIKES is this apology awkward They both need to recognize their own crazy Brittany, you are going to let it go??? Yazan...do you want her to act differently because that's what is respectful to your family or because you are jealous? Ariela, did you prep your mom for the apartment at all? MWI: Mom Water Investigation THIS PICTURE IS SO CUTE, ARMANDO Kenny and Armando are both tearing up talking about each other and I hope that they're not secretly terrible That chihuahua is so old Jihoon, you don't parent...how does that stress you out Jihoon, you can't pick a job so you can nap Deavan...you were working 17 hours a day? Oof Jihoon...this is so bad I think Deavan is right to leave him like dear lord Jenny, Sumit's friend isn't the one you should be confronting about lying Jenny, why w...

It will be a while before traveling is a thing again, but it will be eventually! Ireland. I miss my Irish friends and I want to see them again Mexico. I only went as a teenager and I'd like to go back as an adult Isle of Man. I guess I like going to really small countries Egypt. I really want to see the pyramids Peru. I really want to see Machu Picchu Madagascar. Honestly, I just remember seeing a lot about it on Animal Planet  when I was a kid Belize. It's supposed to beautiful and have a lot of archaeology Greece. So much ancient history to see Swaziland. I'd definitely see South Africa as well, but it's supposed to have a lot of biodiversity packed into the small country Bhutan. Beautiful mountains and environmentally conscious Norway. Beautiful and I have a dear friend there Morocco. My dad went there years ago and the pictures made me want to go New Zealand. While getting there would be rough, LOTR is a really good tourist ad Mongolia. I have been i...

Since I've being doing trivia, I thought it'd be kind of fun to write some questions about myself. I don't really expect anyone to know these by the way. It's not actually a reflection of how well you know me, just if you know trivia about me. Where is my largest birth mark? On my stomach, to my left of my belly button What was my first sentence? Shh, baby sleeping Which of my fingers still show marks from getting slammed in a door hinge? My left thumb and pointer finger How did I get the small scar on my forehead? From a chicken What is my favorite animal? Alligator What museum did I intern at? The Field Museum of Natural History Do I take showers or baths more often? Baths What is my middle name? Rebecca Before Velma, did I have any other pets? Yes! A parakeet, an anole (for a while two), goldfish (I believe), and a puppy for a very, very brief time What instrument did I play in middle school and high school band class? Alto saxophone What two cities in Ir...

Since I've being doing trivia, I thought it'd be kind of fun to write some questions about myself. I don't really expect anyone to know these by the way. It's not actually a reflection of how well you know me, just if you know trivia about me. The next post will be the answers! Where is my largest birth mark? What was my first sentence? Which of my fingers still show marks from getting slammed in a door hinge? How did I get the small scar on my forehead? What is my favorite animal? What museum did I intern at? Do I take showers or baths more often? What is my middle name? Before Velma, did I have any other pets? What instrument did I play in middle school and high school band class? What two cities in Ireland have I lived in? What club did I start in high school? What is my favorite board game? Which countries have I traveled to? What was my first concert? (Prompt by me) Image from page 191 of "American bee journal" (1861) posted by Intern...

Yes, you will keep being subjected to information about my dog. She goes up the steps in a bit of a zigzag pattern She can be very insistent when she wants her head scratched She NEEDS to be an only dog because she will get jealous She thinks she can fight fireworks While she seems to be mostly fine during a thunder storm, she does seek me out sometimes She has learned the usual places that I hide food for her scavenger hunts, so I need to get more creative She is gaining weight (this is good, she was too skinny) She will not abide nail cutting, not even for peanut butter Peanut butter is enough, however, to sustain her through a bath She is super friendly with people but not always with dogs She gets along best with older dogs and smaller dogs When she sees gum on the street, she sniffs it, scratches at it, and then pees on it...what a process I think she's starting to try play biting with me...at least I hope that's what it is Her summer coat is the softest I...

Angela and Michael will be together again! I love how this friend signed up to drop her off and instead was involved in a 2 hour errand I wonder if TLC is helping her with lawyer fees and stuff Aha the return of Tania's friend who was on their welcome trip The craziest part of Syngin's choice was that he had the drinks at the bar he had a bad interview at Tania, you were never on the same page...why did you get married? Why is Kalani's voice so hoarse? Low also is hoarse Wait did we see Asuelu say he could talk to Kalani however he wants to? Asuelu sent false locations? Wtf? So Asuelu is here? Just hiding form Low I thought the pinky swear between Kalani's parents was so cute I hope Low doesn't ruin Oliver's birthday "She has two babies that are just sucking the life out of her and she has a husband who is sucking the life out of her." WHOA Suddenly, I see the family resemblance so much between Colt and Debbie and it weirded me out Deb...

I really need to see the votes this episode. I love hearing shabbat shablam again I really did think Blair was going to be sent home I love seeing young RuPaul pictures Wow India won in that this drama carried over to this week I liked seeing Roxxy's feather outfit up close I am somewhat surprised that everyone except Alexis picked Alexis...I thought someone else would've picked Blair I love Alexis sitting in the pool Michelle, I'm with you...I wasn't expecting this I'm Alexis hasn't lost confidence in herself What a cute drag son (Prompt by me) RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars Untucked VH1 Screenshot source

Time to see the aftermath of the India vs. Alexis drama. It would've been so dumb if Alexis had gone home because she definitelywas in the better half of the performances I think I believe Alexis more Shea pretending to be shocked that we caught her with her breasts out was very funny I have no idea who this guest judge is Dragstoevsky  Yeah Cracker, you should shhhhhhhhhhhh I find it interesting that balls used to be a challenge farther into the competition, but then (in regular seasons) it has moved closer and closer to the front I do love the ball challenges and I love that they are still making part of it a comedy challenge "I don't have a backyard, I live in Boston." I had forgotten that Shea majored in theater costume design I didn't know that Cracker made like half of her stuff Hrm I already feel like Blair is talking a lot and I think that means she's going to go home These young Cracker pictures are precious I love Jujubee Shea is hel...

So this episode is called "Don't Grumpy Stop." Let's see where the name comes in (see #27)! What if we went inside the apartment first? Okay so the apartment isn't great and it is very suspicious if a place doesn't look like the pictures, but this isn't as bad as I feared it would be Jihoon, I'm glad you realize you've made mistakes but now you need to change Wait wait wait, I thought Armando told his parents that Hannah already knew they were moving Okay, I'm glad Hannah is excited for the move I love how both spinoffs right now are featuring a mom going with her son to Latin America I feel like Tim's mom is being judgy considering it was her son who messed up I'm excited to see Biniyam and Ariela together because I, at the moment, have no idea if they are a good couple I am wondering why Biniyam isn't ocming to the US, mostly because that would make it more likely that he could see his other child They do seem excited ...

Okay, new thing I'm going to do is try and find where the episode titles come from. This week the episode is called "She's a Wolf" (answer in #34). "I like her smile and her boobs" Robert and Anny got a visa after spending 8 hours together...but Angela and Michael are struggling to get one? There is only so much control Angela has over having a child "Two from Brazil" I agree that perhaps it's too soon for Colt to date, but Debbie distinguishing between him dating an American and a citizen of another country is weird Wait...why does Debbie have a mug that says 'Best Step-Dad Ever'??? "Over my dead body you're going to Brazil" I don't get why they're going to California...I think it makes more sense to keep saving money to go to Samoa Omg Kalani trying to breastfeed one child and then comfort the other at the same time is hilarious "I love you farty boy" Oh no, Asuelu...you gotta do some learn...

Trying my hand at these again. Childhood crush morphs into middle-aged regret. Almond milk masks flavor of cyanide. Loved one becomes past tense endearment. Growing new bones provides a glow. "No!" The coroner ticked a box. Waterproof mascara proves itself at grave. "Dad's home!" I quickly dial 9-1-1. 'Leaving the light on' attracts moths. "She'll be beautiful," the mortician promised. "It's her." "We'll have a funeral." Groans echoed, but wasn't I alone? Blood stains come as a relief. 'Avoid like the plague' proves inaccurate. One person's stray is another's dog. "Creaky stairs, huh?" "There aren't stairs." (Prompt by me) Joseph Swan's Experiment Journal Source: Tyne and Wear Archives and Museum

This should be a great Untucked . Yes, Alexis, it should've been Cracker and India in the bottom Ha, it's funny to hear Cracker being worried when her name will not come up at all I am just watching this trying to divine if I can tell who is lying I love whoever wrote these limericks  I love how odd this show is I love having Vanjie back Vanjie NEEDS to be on the next All Stars How do they know that Mariah voted for India? Like we get to see, but do they? I feel like Blair is asking the producer to tell her what is going on Man, Alexis did try to help India Blair and Mayhem might've wanted you to go home, but there's a difference between that and a campaign or strategy Hrm Alexis seems to have made a similar claim to India... I think the producers probably helped this get out of control I cannot wait to see the votes Wow Vanjie's nail did scrape something It does look as though India sticks with her story Oooh that twirl was really cool, India Wo...

Time for the snatch game! A double elimination isn't insane...they've done it before Cracker doesn't have long arms Shea, winning isn't everyone's dream. Some people want to just remind people who they are Why so many Jewish references? Aha Eartha Kitt is done once again Flava Flav could be hilarious So do we have two Snatch Game newbies? I have never heard of Walter Mercado, but just that photo of him tells me a lot about him I mean, is taking a risk bad? Jeffree Star could be fun India, you should have one liners already prepared Blair, you do give off Ellen I think this is the most amount of male impersonations on Snatch Game Lady Gaga has also not been successful Snatch Game character I have no idea who Tommy Dorfmann is Alexis is doing the best and Cracker and India are struggling Yeah there was no other choice besides Alexis "Gender is a construct, tear it apart. I'm stranger than fiction, better than art." I think this group...
