<p>Have you missed me? I've missed you..<br />
I kinda locked myself out of the house with a pan of beans on the stove and no one to help me but a wide eyed cat with no opposable digits.<br />

         <title>It&apos;s like that one movie when sombody&apos;s eyes get transplanted into someone else, and forever after they still have glimpses of what the donor saw...</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<p>Or rather I suppose it's nothing at all like that, but the fact of the matter is, whether you're aware of it or not, you know exactly what <a href="http://morgan-meredith.com/">Morgan Meredith</a> has seen.</p>

         <title>May be time for an inspiration-vacation.</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<p>I've recently found myself in the throws of yet another mind bind, and what better to resolve such a thing then to cry on the shoulder of a far away friend? The far away friend in this case was none other than everybody's favorite mystery bluger, and master of all things pizza, <a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2635/3776987824_8631b2fa1b_o.jpg">The Snob</a>, pictured here attempting to retrieve an abandoned piece of gum without the use of his hands;</p>

         <title>One for the weekend, via Erik M.</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<p>And it is with the utmost sincerity I tell Erik M. that in one fell swoop he successfully ruined farms, grey hair, tight pants, breathing, wind, singing, yoga, cows with long eyelashes, mullets, multicultural children, karate Gis, colorful unitards, and rastafarian chickens for me forever.</p>

         <title>A Friday post on Thursday? What is this? Bizzaroland?</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<p>Nope, and it's not even Australia. The reason I'm posting Friday's edition of The Bummer Life on Thursday is because I feel the need to shake things up a bit. Reconfigure my schedule, if you will.<br />
I realize it's not much, but for me at least, it's a start, and as an introduction to today's festivities, here is a photo of the back of Pinto's leg;</p>
