No, it wasn’t that major butt-kicking everyone has always said was coming to me. It was valentines.

We spend a wonderful day together. That was sweet. I learned how to snowboard. That was excruciating. I fell. A lot. Really hard. Dear Lord it hurt. My wrists, my butt- I feel like I just finished my first week in prison.

I know. That one was bad. But you chuckled, didn’t you? That’s what I’m here for.

Froggie is dead. I repeat Froggie the Frog is dead. He was found last night floating in his bowl which he shares with one “Fishie” Beta Fish. Authorities haven’t yet released his official cause of death, but aren’t ruling out foul play. Services were held yesterday in my bathroom at 8:35 PM, just before flushing him into the great beyond. Fishie, his nearest relative, (since the rest of his family has been long since sold into the Greater Reno population) will be accepting gifts and well wishes on behalf of the family. He is visably shaken but reported to be holding up well. The dedicated news team here at EDANDHEIDI.com will keep you posted as this saddening situation develops.

The band The Darkness needs to fall down a well.

Can I get a witness?

I’m out all day at this dealie put on by the Reno Chamber of Commerce- but that doesn’t mean uncle Eddie forgot about his peeps. No Sir.

There’s a band from ABQ I’ve been trying to catch up on latey named Stoic Frame. You can check ‘em out here. I could only describe them as a politically-minded mix of Primus, Rage and the Gypsy Kings. One heck of a live show and they’re some real great guys. Back in college I used to run shows for the University and they were always a blast. Now that I have sparked your intrigue, go download a few songs off their “jukebox” page. Good Stuff.

Oh dear. I knew when I read that story on Dr. Atkins that it seemed skewed, but I figured it was a great chance to vent a little on those pesky fad dieters (and you will notice the quick jab to the Orkuters too). I overlooked what seemed like biased journalism for the sake of a joke.

Well, the joke is on me.

IT WAS PETA (link). PETA posed as a phony physicians’ accociation in order to peddle their agenda. Boo that crap. And to think, it was at the expense of the fad-diet army- and me. Well, I am sorry. For moment I was PETA’s little blog-monkey and it’s left a horrible, bitter taste in my mouth. Never again, my friends. Never ever again.

BTW tho. This by no means signals a change of heart regarding that Atkins crap. Put down that quadruple cheeseburger sans bun and jog a couple laps.
