this just in ... hamster on piano

I always hated when my mom put popcorn on the piano. Especially kettle corn. Every time I finished a piece she'd make me get up and tune the strings again. But she had such bad performance anxiety - she could only practice while I was lying on the piano eating popcorn.

I was trained to rely on popcorn to develop my skills as a pianist from a young age as well. In this picture, I'm sitting on 6 lbs of popcorn really practicing. The grease was burning through my diaper and it was really hard, but my love of the arts prevailed and I persevered.

Webcam chat at Ustream

G'damnit ... why did I start a blog and not a live puppy cam? Trumped again.

Does anyone have a webcam I can buy for cheap? I just ... I want you to be able to start watching my parrot, I guess. Can you call me if she acts up? Thanks.

PS - if I were to start a live stream of me and my friends sleeping together wearing furs it would be called porn and I'd be scandalized and probably fired from my job ... that's just not fair. Puppies get away with everything.
