Want to see the entries?

2008-04-20T13:06:00.000-07:00

Sally and I were so charmed by all your entries. I was surprised at how well the pieces could be used in different ways, and I'm thinking of dying my hair black and getting the coal burner look too, aren't you?

Sally used the Flash AS3 tile list component to display them all, and finally figured out how to make it work!

Help my Pal and win Chocolates!

Accessorize Anita any way you want. Then download the image and send it to me as a jpeg. Winner gets a box of See's chocolate sent to her/him. Winner chosen by me on Sunday based on nothing that makes sense. (No more than 3 entries per person or horse.) But you can include a title with your entry.

I'm glad I didn't choose the coal burner style my pal Anita selected.

Kentucky Derby is coming

2008-04-06T08:22:00.000-07:00

We were going to try to get to Santa Anita yesterday to see the Santa Anita Derby. Kudos to Colonel John, and good luck to them as they head to the Derby next month as the only sure West Coast contenders. It will be Corey Nakatani's first ride in the Derby. He's a great jockey.

We were watching Country Star as a likely filly in the Derby but at her big race at Keeneland yesterday she didn't place. The other horse we're hearing a lot about is Big Brown.

one night a few years ago.

Out of the contest- boo hoo.

2007-11-17T15:45:00.000-08:00

In four races the contest went from 2500 entries to 80. boohoo.

Show Me the Money

2007-11-16T08:04:00.000-08:00

Day four of the contest and I've moved up from position 912 to positiion 268, as you can see off to the left. This is the Hollywood Park contest I told you folks about. I saw an old trainer pal has a horse in the fith race, but I'm going with Intangaroo in the sixth. Don't you love racehorse names?
(Though sometimes it's hard for me to match a name to a face.)

Casual Friday anyone?

Some of the posts got lost when we built the barn today.

Now I have a little more room for REE-lax-ation!

...say the darndest things

2007-11-01T19:27:00.000-07:00

hey, don't worry, I don't grab ips or anything like that. But sometimes I look back over our hot chats.. the latest was this:

you said: Hey you!. How you doin?
she said: blind faith!
you said: okay
she said: so, um, what do you like?
you said: I like to eat cheetos and watch TV.
she said: what\'s so great about to eat cheetos and watch TV.?
you said: Lost In Space on Ice.
she said: been there, ate that.
you said: I think I remember you. You\'re going shopping, right? Or has someone hacked me
she said: always on the go
you said: Wait, aren\'t you the one who said I was silly?
she said: People are too quick to judge
you said: Hey, guess what? I\'m reading this cool book!
she said: TO THE WIRE!
you said: huh?
she said: You don\'t get it?
you said: You\'re the best!

Contest Over- Trick or Treat

2007-10-29T09:18:00.001-07:00

I was hoping for something more romantic, but since the contest ended this afternoon and Sally went on some hideous over the cliff type of hike, this was the best she could do.

Breeder's Cup !

2007-10-26T09:02:00.001-07:00

Last Big race of the year.

Here's what happened:
OCEANPORT, N.J. — Curlin completed a remarkable season in which he morphed from unraced unknown to virtually certain Horse of the Year when he dominated the $5 million Breeders' Cup Classic by 4½ lengths against Hard Spun Saturday at Monmouth Park

Fortunately TVG refuses to let Sally bet on line.

If any of you stay at home race track nuts want to waste a lot of time, Hollywood Park is starting up another of their fabulous "Show me the Money" contests, 100% free.

Nothing like being number one, even if win place and show are all 0!

if you have an idea for another smart outfit, post it and if I don't feel too lazy, I'll add it to the closet.

The Fires

2007-10-22T17:17:00.000-07:00

kind of FREAKS me that my new logo looks like a Southern California fire, since I spent my whole life in So Cal and just happen not to be there now.

On a lighter, much lighter, too light in fact, NOTE, don't forget to vote for my Halloween costume. How the heck else will I know what to wear?

Everyone Wants Them at the Shop

2007-10-11T07:46:00.000-07:00

Ever since Electrobux put out the release, everyone's been buggin me at the store to get their vacuum shoes.

My friend Hoover's been a little put out about the whole thing. But he's so shy.
These shoes work just like little vacuum cleaners to clean your path. They are truly omnivores.

They make a quiet nooise that has a calming effect, and look stylish, BUT--

You don't want to wear these shoes just anywhere because they have a vomit function as in P-U-K-E when you least want that to happen. They store up all the schmutz they've sucked up and just let it blow all of a sudden. We haven't done a check yet on small cyberagents as part of the set.

On the up side, the tingle you get when they've sucked up something valuable is quite nice. It's an extra feature worth paying for. Works for money or jewelry, that's all I've tried. In fact it's such a nice little tingle you might try tossing money all over the floor and then taking a stroll in these shoes.

I prefer the carrot orange but that's just me.

ps Thanks to shoe fiend Linda Davick for being first on the block with these fashion treats.

Rebozo wants them because they add a few inches. He'll probably do a knock off in Tasmania anyway.

I'm a Talking Horse too.

I spent years just hanging out at Charbucks with my pal Anita.

I was a runner up in a chatbot contest. I have food allergies, and if I don't take my meds, the wrong foods make me say BAD THINGS!

I don't have an agent, but I'm available. I've been in several short films. I'm even on youtube.

I'm a former race horse. I have a tattoo on my gums. Want to see it?
