My Lunna and Me

Lunna and I have both been so busy lately that we haven't had much time to hang out. So we decided to take a few days off of work and spend some time together, just the two of us. And finally we got outside of the house with one another for a change!

It really ended up being some special times. Luckily we hired our own photographer to capture the memories.

Opening Day to see the Washington Nationals!

We enjoyed the nation's pastime while enjoying our own pastime of sitting and eating hot dogs...together. Lunna laughed at me when I got mustard on my nose. How embarrassing!

Lunna loves Disney movies so I bought her tickets to Disney On Ice: Lion King.

The costumes were beautiful. Unfortunately, Chia Scooby snuck in with us and I got a little angry; we could have all been kicked out! Lunna is always so good at calming me down though. I've gotta watch my temper.

A few years ago, Lunna came out of the "living room," so to speak. You go girl, be proud of who you are! Well, this year thanks to the timing I had the honor of joining her and her pals in the Capitol Pride march. Boy was that fun. What a bunch of crazy gals!

You probably can't read it in the photo, but my shirt says, "Corduroy is gay." And now Lunna is reupholstering herself in rainbow corduroy. I guess I'll have to buy a more colorful rug for the apartment to match.

And finally we tried to stay up all night outside the big, scary Scottish Rite building.

Lunna really knows how to tell a good ghost story. It's a wonder I ever got to sleep. Who am I kidding, it's no wonder. Lunna is so comfy!

On the last day of our adventures together, Lunna surprised me with this t-shirt she had made for me.*

I am a LUNNA-tic! Isn't she just the greatest chair a boy could ever have?!

* — Lunna had a little help on the shirt from her friends at Current Configuration, R Design and some unnamed sources.

Help Me Name My Cock

My new cock.


Isn't he beautiful?


He followed me home from the metro today and now he's watching over my apartment from my kitchen table. I'm not allowed to have pets in my apartment, but this guy's pretty quiet, so I think I can get away with keeping him a secret.

He doesn't have a name yet though. Help me name him. But first, I'll help you get to know him.

I noticed immediately that he's quite proud (as he should be. look at those beautiful feathers!).


But he can be sweet and demure when he wants to be.


And yet you definitely won't forget this face if you cross him in a dark alley.

Gives me shivers!

Coincidentally, he loves the Syracuse Orange, just like I do.


And he's already making friends with Chia Scooby.

This really says a lot because Chia Scooby picks his friends very carefully (him and the Beatles DO NOT get along. Long story for another time).

But don't forget the bling! He prefers his bling to be white and fuzzy.


So what's the perfect name for a bling wearing, orange crazed, proud, yet menacing and demure at the same time rooster who lives on my kitchen table? I'm open to all ideas. But be nice, because he's got his eye on you!

The Orange Will Keep Me Warm

Sarah understands my love of all things Syracuse Orange and has been known to surprise me with Syracuse Orange gifts.

And just as the weather is about to take a turn for the cold, Sarah surprised me with this Syracuse Orange knitted hat

It's impossible not to look good in this thing. It looks good when I'm just chillin', watching my Syracuse Orange play:

It would look good if I tried to wear it while solving crime:

It even looks good when I'm getting all fanciful up in this piece:

And it's not just me that looks fresh in this thing.

My stuffed animal Blizzard is quite jealous of my new chapeau:

but he did point out that it doesn't match his sweater and he's already embarassed enough to not be wearing any pants...

Although Jigga might not admit it, he too wants to don this winter hat:

Ch-ch-ch-chia pets may be fun to grow, but Chia Scooby told me he'd much rather be wearing this hat than his mane of green chia hair:

"Yo quiero this Syracuse Orange hat!"

But to their collective dismay, the hat is for me to wear and wear it I will, proudly. Thank you Sarah for helping me show my Syracuse Orange pride.

The New iPod

Oh...what's this?

It looks like an iPod. Let's open it up and see!

HAHAHA! That's not an iPod, that's Chia Scooby-Doo! You're playing a trick on me - you're so silly, Chia Scooby-Doo.

Here it is. An iPod!


More specifically, my iPod. And it makes me happy.

Uh Oh, Lunna looks sad

I think she might be jealous. Lunna, there's no need to be jealous. We can all be happy together.


Lunna, iPod and me - one happy family.
