Small Change on Strangers

A life half-examined

Month: July 2018

Video: The Wall 2007

It was 2007...we were all messing around with stop motion and time-lapse photography, right? This, incidentally, might be the last time I ever held a paint brush. Guesting-starring my oldest child.

On Good and Bad Movies

I’m going to say something now that might blow your mind, so prepare yourself. I believe – I hold very strongly to be true – that, unlike steak, kisses, European countries, there’s no point in thinking of movies in terms of “good” or “bad”. OK, are we all still together? Let’s carry on. I’m not … Continue reading On Good and Bad Movies →

Missing person…

We found them like this. Jordan did not eat the person who used to be in these shoes. She absolutely did not. Not even a nibble. Honest.

Video: Jumpin’ Cyril

OK, I know all squirrels aren't called "Cyril". The lady squirrels must have a different name, for a start. But, for the sake of my memory's inability to remember names anymore, let's just go with my easy-to-remember version. You see a squirrel and it's a boy squirrel, let's just call him "Cyril." They don't speak … Continue reading Video: Jumpin’ Cyril →

On Pugs as People

What would your adorable fluff bundles be like if they were really people? This is a question that literally no-one has asked. And so, here is my answer. The Reverend John Henry Sure, we have a very good backstory for The Reverend John Henry, but what he really is is a kid that never had … Continue reading On Pugs as People →

Video: Smoke

Happy Monday! This below video was taken, I think, in Florence, TX. Maybe. It was definitely on one of our infamous BBQ Road Trips. Being in Austin means we have a world of great BBQ an hour or so away from our home base that we can visit on a whim. You...you just have to … Continue reading Video: Smoke →

On Cooking…Slowly

I have not had the best of luck with slow cookers. No, stay with me; there’s a point to this. And while it might not be interesting, it is anecdotal plus has the benefit of being true. If that helps. In our house, we use the slow cooker a couple of times a week, so … Continue reading On Cooking…Slowly →

Flying pig

OK, go with me here. Tell me I'm not seeing things. That cloud at the bottom there. It's a pig, right? With a nose, two ears, and wings? That cloud is a flying pig... Right?

Video: The softer side of Jordan

Jordan, our little old pug/chihuahua cross, is...feisty. She doesn't like being in her harness for walks. She doesn't like anyone other than her immediate family around while she walks. She doesn't like anyone walking by her yard at any time. The neighbors must think she's an angry old grandma. But, to us, this is Jordan.
