Hose A and Hose B?

I have two new roommates, and they need names. They are brothers and are bengal cats, i.e. a domestic cat crossbred with an Asian leopard. They have the personality of a dog; they will fetch, love water, and don't mind being walked on a leash. Pretty cool huh? Check out the running man on the side of the marbled one.



Lance is the brown one, Major the black one. Thanks everyone who made suggestions.

Dez gave me a gift for my birthday that just keeps on giving. After we spent a fortune last year going to the Hookup Lounge to smoke, we finally invested in a good hookah, and we are reaping the benefits. Built us a fire by the pool and invited all the neighbors to join. Spring and Patti came over and a couple of the neighbors took us up on our offer too. The only thing missing was the Coconda soundtrack.

I must say I am on a roll for meeting cool people lately. The guy who moved in above me last week joined us. He brought brownies. The guy already gets major props. Mike is 25, from Indiana originally but moved in from Hawaii where he was an aircraft engineer for the Navy. He plays guitar and is a marathon runner. Are you the girls who were out here serenading people the other night? he asked.

Tomorrow night we'll be at it again so come on over and bring your marshmallows and Hershey's bar for smores baby. In Cullen's words, "WHOOPTY WHOOP!"

Haters wanna hate*

here's your proof Cullen, and I will make it to New York, eventually





*should not be taken as bad attitude

totally flaked out on tina and wynter and feel like an ass for doing so...twice

contemplated the thing deaf people might just miss out the most on is hearing their own farts

A Baby Baby!

Something interesting happened today. I was with Kristin, and we were talking about how my rhetoric prof Russ is not a good teacher, which pleased her, at my expense, since she also teaches rhetoric and has her suspicions as to how good a teacher he is. She is here getting her Master's, as is Russ, and was explaining how most students such as themselves who are thrown into teaching are not that good at it. There are those, she said, who are kind of thrown or fall into it, and just go through the motions of their jobs. But there are others who actually try to do a good job while they're at it. The latter examine their teaching methods, see what works for their students, and talk to other teachers to see what works for them.

I noted that it is a lot like coaching. Exactly! she said. Furthermore, I made the connection between the subject and sex. For this one she needed a little clarification. I explained how there are people who just have sex, and there are people who are really into sex. These people examine what they do, are in tune to their partner and how they respond to different things, and talk about sex. After she noted the inappropriateness of our conversation and I reminded her that most of what we talk about is inappropriate, she expressed that she felt really confident in my abilities. She even suggested that we make a shirt for me that says, "Rachael Cook is an incredible lover."

While we were having this conversation I got a phone call from Kacie, but didn't answer. The voicemail told me to call her back, that she had had the craziest dream and I was in it. In this dream of hers, the two of us went on a date, totally made out, and it was nothing short of amazing. She suggested that we must have made out in some other life. I suggested that we must make out in this life.

So take your numbers and get in line, there's plenty to go around. And since it's me, our sexual pleasure will be....

oooww!

I feel fifty this morning. I laid down on the couch last night to watch some hockey around nine. I woke up at four a.m. and moved to the bedroom. I just woke up, and I feel like I slept in the position of a pretzel. Quaddamn you Sandy, my body hurts. Good thing I asked her about my weights the last two days. Her computer program was off and pulled the wrong weight percentages. I was trying to overhead press what she has me power clean. And my power cleans are now more than what Chez does. Yeah right. Cold whirlpool and all, I still can barely walk this morning.

What's the Big Idea?!?

In the spirit of the wildly popular, smash success of "Rachael's Super Fucking Sweet Fiesta," I would like to propose yet another big idea. I call it "A Chinese New Year." For all of us in the Austin area for New Year's, I suggest a theme party celebrating the Asian spirit. What does that mean, you ask?? Picture this: girls in kimonos, men as samurais, faces painted in the "Geisha" style, and most importantly: import beer like Kirin Light and Sapporo, and of course...SAKE BOMBS!!! I'm even thinking a Chinese dragon?? Rachael has already requested to be the ass on that one :) Let me know what you think...as we all know, no one throws a theme party like DA CREW!!!!
