Neuticles - replacing your dog's neutered err... testicles

This is why I have a female dog. And also why I'm happy to neuter her without guilt.

You can now replace your neutered pet's testicles, "allowing your pet to retain his natural look, self esteem and aids in the trauma associated with neutering".

What is the world coming to?

Private Road

One of the best written songs I've heard. It's so clever! Listen to this song on a lazy, white bright Saturday afternoon. Sip a glass of chilled, iced lemon tea with twinkling cubes of ice. Relax in a cold, cold room on a leather sofa.

Serve chilled.

Private Road
My heart for now is a private road
No thoroughfare, no heavy load
No slow traffic, no graphic details,
Cold or collisions
No more stories to make me ache

I'll always love you, Venus
Still you are mine
Why'd you have to take so much time
In calling me
Just want to be easy like
Sunday morning

Snow falls in silence and covers the green
Still you can see where the birds have been
Hungry but alive and free, waiting
Waiting

The Glory of the 80's

It's scary how it probably reveals your age when you think about the songs that defined your angst years, the teenage years. Bands like Heart, Erasure, The Pet Shop Boys (though that was a mainstay), U2 (another evolution), Chris Isaak.

I grew up with A Little Respect (Erasure), Somebody (Depeche Mode) and These Dreams (Heart). But ended up living with a New Kids on the Block generation that preferred Go West (Pet Shop Boys), Dirty Dancing (various - I've had the time of my life...) and Hero (Mariah Carey).

Where did the world go to?

Anyway, just a little treat for the glory of the 80's. I took a taxi from LA to Venus in 1985.
