Go Fuck Yourself“, after all.

I forgot to mention this yesterday – that big picture I bought in Maine is here. After I got several inquiries about it, I knew I had to go looking for it, and after a half hour search on art.com, I found it. I also like this one by the same artist, but I really really LOVE this one. I love that last one so much, because that’s exactly how I envision the bedroom in my cottage. Except that the bedroom in my cottage has long sheer white curtains that blow in the breeze.

I also forgot to mention yesterday that pet store pics are up here.

I see a little silhouetto of a Poo, Scaramouche, Scaramouche, are you going to bite your Mama? Little teeth and paws are very, very fright’ning. (Little Poo.) Little Poo. (Little Poo.) Little Poo, Little Poo figaro Yeah. I hate it when songs keep bouncing around in your head and you have to make up your own words to them to stop the bouncing.

So I only caught a few minutes of the Video Music Awards on MTV last night and missed the Madonna/ Britney slurpfest, but I’ve certainly seen enough pictures today to make up for having missed it. Does this mean that next year there’ll be two guys with their tongues in each others’ mouths? I nominate Viggo Mortensen and Olivier Martinez! Won’t happen, since neither of them has anything to do with MTV or videos. I can’t think of any male singers I want to see trading spit, though. Except maybe Snoop Doggie Dog and Eminem. Oh, god. That’s not even funny.

1. Are you going to school this year? No, and I thank god for that every day. 2. If yes, where are you going (high school, college, etc.)? If no, when did you graduate? I graduated from high school in 1986, and took some college courses in the late 80s and early 90s. 3. What are/were your favorite school subjects? I liked English and Psychology. 4. What are/were your least favorite school subjects? Any kind of math beyond the basic adding/ subtracting/ multiplying/ dividing gave me fits. I was also not terribly fond of Gym. Shocking, no? 5. Have you ever had a favorite teacher? Why was he/she a favorite? Mr. Hall, because he was funny and he didn’t take himself too seriously.

Tubby is laying on the living room floor, so I flop down onto my stomach to get some pictures. Before I can take a single picture, he’s up and on the move. He walks over to me and headbutts me in the side. He lays down beside me and peers at the camera. He gives me a Look O’ Love. He peers at the camera again, and this time we see that the Evil Poo has appeared. Miz Poo saunters over and sniffs around to determine what’s going on. She shoots an evil look at Tubby, who is laying far FAR too close to Her Mama. She walks over and sniffs at Tubby, then smacks him upside the head. Tubby retreats to a safe place.]]>

  1. i can’t get enough cat pictures, just so you know. 🙂 and i also saw the fat people suck tirade and it makes me mental with rage. amen sister!
    also, fred’s comment about whitey the kitten keeping the other kittens down made me almost pee. ha!

  5. Hey Robyn- give me more info on the fat people article you read and I will add it to my “bitch slap” page! Sounds like a perfect addition for my newest page on my site!

  8. Oh Robyn! White Kittens! My husband and I have been looking all summer for White Kittens! Too bad we live in Minnesota. He is bound and determined to get a white kitten, his favorite and rejects all other kitteny goodness. They are cute and sassy!
    Also, where did you read the fat people diatribe? I have to say that you look beautiful in your OFB photos. Good for you chica!
    I LOVE me some Miz Poo. She’s a mama’s girl. Also, gotta love the headbutt action from Tub.

  9. Amy (and whomever else wants the link) email me, and I’ll give you the link to the fat people diatribe – I don’t want to link it from my journal and give him a traffic spike. 🙂
    My email address is (the first letter of my first name)@robynanderson.com

  10. I’m new here (thanks for the link, Robyn), but oh my lord, I just had to post some love for the kitties. My arms ache they want to hug Tubby so badly!

  11. Wow! I read your daydreaming essay about the cottage off the coast of Maine. Good stuff! Have you ever read Anita Shreve’s novel, “Strange Fits of Passion?” If not, you might enjoy it…especially the atmospheric setting!

  13. Lori – I’ll admit, as much as I complain about Tubby, he’s awfully sweet. When he wants to be, that is!
    CS – I haven’t, but I’ll give it a try. And I’ll admit, that’s one of my favorite entries that I’ve written. 🙂
    Dargie – Oh my!

  15. Robyn-
    I love your site! Keep on bitchin’ cause you seem to be reading my mind! I sent the link to my best friend and we were reading it together on the phone!
    I love Tubby- he looks so pissed in that last shot of him in the hamper thing. Poo really pissed him off.
    I agree, you need to get a grey kitty to complete your family!

  16. Someone once told me that after age 40 you can have a great face or you can have a great ass, but you can’t have both. I kind of love that.

  17. I gave our little friend a hearty bitch slap on my site- left him a little note on his as well… oh, dear, where did all the good lawyers go? LOLOLOLOLOL………

  19. Thanks ever so for the Tubby pics. My son asks “is Tubby losing weight?” I told him I don’t think so, but he thinks Tubby looks thinner.No, no!! We love Tubby because he’s well, Tubby!!

  20. Who could resist those cute kitty pics? Not me. Evil inspiration struck. I printed out the bitchiest Tubby pic (Tubby, Robyn, sorry about the transgression, but I assure you that it was used only to punish a mean cat-hater), attached it to an adoption form from our local shelter, and told The Voice Of Reason that I had adopted this kitty, could we please go and buy a litter box, food etc. before picking him up.
    TVOR stared at Tubby, blanched, and said, “Kay! That is not a cat, that is a small COUCH! A small, EVIL couch!” He hyperventilated, apparently getting ready for the “It is the cat or I, you decide” speech, when I ruined everything by smiling.
    “You’re joking, right? I know you’re joking. You are definitely joking, because I know you like to LIVE.”
    Now, Kay-thinking goes thus: The great relief of TVOR will lead to a)a more relaxed attitude, when I take him to the shelter to show him the tiny, totally non-bitchy kitties there (little does he know), and b) a Tubby mug for my birthday.
    😀

  21. Hello, my name is Kay, and I am a Tubby lover!! (hello Kay!)
    I confess I am obsessed with Robyn Anderson’s web page and cannot, repeat, cannot get enough of my cute kitty quota!!
    (Now I am off to my kittyholic’s anonymous class)

  22. OMG! I am so dying at the manlove picture!
    Also, on Rate My Kitty, do you give all the kitties a “10” so as not to hurt any little feewings? Yeah. Me too.

  24. OMFG! Just read Fred’s comment about Whitey keeping all the other kittens down…..hehehehe
    what a chortle that was.
    I agree with the others about needing more kitty pics…..love em.

  25. Tubby is NOT losing weight, trust me. It was just the angle of the picture.
    And Kate – of course I always vote “10”, because how can you possibly vote anything else? Kittens are uniformly cute.
