I actually got what was probably the 4th egg from my three chickens all winter today *despite* the fact that Louie, one day after I fixed a large hole in the front of the coop, not only dug a second hole in the back of the coop, but actually broke the wooden frame in the process. Rather than trying to bail a sinking boat, I've been concentrating on finishing the Puggle Fence, which will prevent both Coop Infiltration and Extraneous Barking at People on the Sidewalk upon completion. I was resigned to be pretty fucking hungry on the 1st, but somehow fate intervened and I was able to get one egg from the coop today before Louie, which means I'll actually get to eat non-nut protein on the 1st of February.

As a reminder, I am only eating food grown at my own home on the 1st of every month in 2011.

Every time I use Advantage on Louie, I always get a little sick for a few days. I originally assumed it was something in the chemical itself that might be causing it, which is reasonable since it's designed to infiltrate the target's system and stick around for a month. As much as it would be helpful to not touch him for a few days after administration, anyone who's met him knows that one's level of exposure to Louie Love is not always up to the receiver. However, another thought occurred to me. I'm *definitely* allergic to flea bites, and it could be that when I treated Louie, the existing crop of tiny vampires may have abandoned Puggle and may be biting *me* instead! I've got several welt-like things on my body now that could well be flea bites.

Time to wash the the sheets...

Tonight I pulled out my performance setup and plugged it into the home theater system. I wanted to see and hear it big and live as it will be on stage, and also start working bugs out of the system. Although I've ordered a Rocktron MIDI Mate pedalboard, it hasn't arrived yet, so I'm still using my keyboard for triggering.

The dogs were *very* confused.

For reasons that are still unclear, my Italian Greyhound, Loki, is seen as more of a individual, and is therefore referred to almost exclusively by name or pet name, whereas Louie, my Puggle, is treated more like the official local representative of the lugubrious Puggle Race. He is much more often referenced as "The Puggle," "My Puggle", "The Puggle-mutt", and only occasionally by his actual name.

Speculations on the reason for this would be welcome.

Thanks to

kittysmack for the great pic!

Finally got my Burn on this past weekend at Rec Plant after having missed Flipside this year. It was great to re-connect with the land and the community, and the weather was mostly-perfect after some initial Friday-night rain. I took some pictures, but haven't downloaded them yet.

After contributing a part to the Bug and Dog Thievery Funds, I finally got to eat my very first-even home-garden tomato! It was juicy and delicious, and should be followed by at least another 15 or so ripening on the vine.
