When I am in the mood to have fun, the first thing I do is go home and lock all my doors. After that, I put on some music and order a pizza and soda if I’m out. While I’m waiting for that, I clean up my room a little bit. This is very important because for fun, I spend around eight consecutive hours in my room and work on music. I keep books and magazines out to flip through if necessary and I usually turn my television on mute with a news station on. This combined with pizza and soda is what I like to do for fun.

I try to plan a more elaborate dinner mid-week to try to spice up the typical hurry and rush that we normally have after a work day. Last night we had a wonderful oven fried chicken dinner made with a recipe from my Pillsbury Cookbook. It was accompanied by home made stuffing (not the stove-top stuffing variety) and corn off the cob. It was like having a Sunday meal on Wednesday! Everyone enjoyed it, gave it rave reviews and luckily it only took about 30 minutes to prepare. It was definitely a mouth watering wait while it baked in the oven, but well worth it in the end.

Though your new toy poodles in sure to look adorable in just about anything, there are a few considerations to be made when selecting large dog clothes for your little precious. First, be aware of your dog’s comfort; if he or she is choked, constricted, or unable to walk in the clothes, they will not work. Also, select useful clothes (doggy blankets) over purely decorative, and select easily removable items over those with complex fasteners. Finally, when choosing clothes and toys from the vast array out there, be sure there are no loose pieces that your dog might swallow. Safe clothes and toys will ensure the health of your small dog.

There are other websites I probably enjoy more, but if I was stuck on the proverbial desert island and could only access one website, it would have to be Metafilter. Metafilter features plenty of interesting links every day. The links are submitted by lots of different people, so they’re really varied. They also feature lively user discussion of new links, and the discourse seems to be at an unusually high level for a site like this. With almost every other site with content created by users, there are lots of trolls and flame wars. But the users on Metafilter are generally more respectful and educated, there are arguments but they tend to be over matters of actual importance and they don’t usually escalate to name calling or other childish behavior. Maybe it’s because Metafilter charges a small fee for people to contribute. I guess the sorts of people who just want to insult strangers aren’t ready to pay a few bucks per month to do it.
