New Addiction

I kind of have a lot going on in my life right now. And by a lot, I mean nothing. But I do have a new person in my life that's occupying my thoughts almost constantly. That's both a good thing and a bad thing. OK so mostly it's good, but too often my brain takes little fantasy trips that are probably not productive or helpful to me. I'm trying my hardest to stay grounded in the here and now. Unfortunately that leads me to countless moments of insecurity, worry, doubt, and panic.

The good news is that I have found a new method of re-setting my brain and pushing away all my anxieties. It's a wonderful new invention called a Puppy Cam.

















It's live streaming video of 6 four-week old puppies doing their thing. And I am completely obsessed with them. I watch them sleep, eat, play, nap, stagger around, step on each other, and nap again. This is the best way to pass the time at work. They are completely adorable. It's better than watching a soap. One puppy might bitch slap another, but they end up sleeping all tangled up together 5 minutes later. OK so that sounds just like a soap. Whatever. It still makes me super excited for Puppy Bowl 2009. They should really make more shows staring puppies.

Now before you start thinking how I'm such a loser for spending 8 hours watching puppies be puppies, rest assured there are people much more loserish than me. There are people who chat on this puppy cam site. They talk about the puppies. They gave them nicknames. They named their puppy toys. Those people are sick. They cannot control their addiction. I can stop any time I want.

Oh crap! They just settled down for a nap and Mr. Pickles is swatting them trying to get someone to play. I gotta go watch this.
