I got a dog! for all of you who don't know yet...

I got it at a shelter and at the time, he was the epitome of what I didn't want in a dog--a boy, black and white, who might grow up to be big. I don't know what I was looking for exactly, but probably somewhere along the lines of a brindle boxer or pug mix, around 30 lbs, and a girl.
We went to so many shelters, and didn't find any dogs that seemed to click. I thought it would be easy when I first started looking, and that I would immediately find a cute dog that I would fall in love with. But the more I looked, the more every dog started looking the same to me. But then, we ended up going out to Irving, and found this sad, super skinny little dog that when we opened up the gate, he crawled right into my lap and hid his face in the crook of my arm and wouldn't get off when I had to leave.
He's finally gained some weight--up to 20 lbs from 13 when we got him, and is potty trained (pretty much) and knows how to come and sit. I wish I'd taken some pictures of him at the shelter so I would have more of a comparison.
Anyways, we're hoping he doesn't get any bigger than 40 lbs, which seems like it might be possible since he's not too big and he's already 5 months, I think.

Anyways, other news: My ipod is losing charge on its battery, so I'm kicking it old school and going back to walkmans and tapes. I never did like portable cd players much, bc they're too bulky and cds are hard to carry around. Also I was young and impressionable when I listened to walkmans constantly on the bus in middle school, so I like them better.

Also, here's something I've been wanting to write about for a while, but kept forgetting. This summer, when I went to L.A., I had pink streaks in my hair, and visited Aaron on the WB lot, and had lunch with him at the cafeteria there. A few months later, Aaron noticed that a Gilmore Girls episode came out where the girl (the younger one who looks like Rachel) had pink hair. His theory is that since Gilmore Girls films on the lot, one of the writers, or whatever, saw my hair and thought it was cool, so used it in the show. When he first told me that, I was really excited. But now, it's sorta worn off, and it ended up being in just one episode, and so this is really just to document it, because I'm sure in 10 years I won't remember.
