say my name!

It came up again today. I get it all the time. I introduce myself to people and, as a matter of practice, always tell people my full name: Poly the Bear.

And then it happens. It never fails. The moment I say my name, some smart-ass biped pipes up and says, "koalas aren't bears, you know."

No sh!t, Sherlock! Don't you think I know that by now? I'm a marsupial! But my full name is Poly the Bear. It would not be the first time an animal of one species is named after another species.

Remember Eddie, the Jack Russell terrier on Frasier? His real name was Moose. Remember the TV show, BJ and the Bear? You think Bear was a bear? No! It was a chimpanzee.

Or how about the Brady Bunch? They had a dog named Tiger! Why not just call him Cat?

You get my point. Poly the Bear is my name, don't wear it out.

waiting for the cooldown.

I hate waiting. I really do. I'm sitting here, waiting for A/C repairmen to come and fix the broken down piece of crap I call an air-conditioner. This apartment is so freakin' hot it's not even funny anymore. Yeah, Kevin's not really good about calling to get things fixed in an expeditious manner, so he left it to me to deal with.

So Brinkley, Payton and I are sitting here DYING from the heat. Look at us! We don't have sweat glands!!

When will these guys get here? The sooner they fix this thing, the sooner we don't have to look at Kevin without his shirt on anymore.

For real, no one needs to see that.

guess who's back?

I've been away for awhile, haven't I? Sorry about that. Lately I've been unable to get some computer time because of the wicked hangover. See, I was celebrating the Red Wings winning the Stanley Cup. But I'm all better now!

What's been going on? Quite a bit, really. I got a new job, so no more part-time paper route for me! I'm not dating anyone just now, but it's all good. Just because I'm not dating doesn't mean I'm not having fun. ;-)

Speaking of koalas. The Indianapolis Zoo recently got a couple new koalas. I might have to go say hello some time.

I'm heading to Michigan next week and Vegas in a couple months. It's gonna be a busy few weeks for me.

Hope you're well.
