November 25, 2014: Akemi opining, Snow Monkeys winning, doggies relaxing!

“Tastes like old man who likes pachinko.”

Well look at which team is sitting in second place in our fantasy football League of Accommodation.  Yep, my Snow Monkeys, on the strength of a close-shave two-point victory this past weekend, wrapped up a playoff spot and are gunning for the #1 seed heading into this final weekend.  Stargate SG-1/Atlantis/Universe guest star Thobias Slezak’s Mighty Merkins also snagged a playoff berth as did longtime Stargate Executive Producer Robert Cooper’s Landsharks and former Stargate script coordinator Lawren-Bancroft Wilson’s Fighting Hyphens.  Our buddy Ivon’s team, The Running Dead, hope a win will secure him on of the final spots.  Sadly, Stargate VFX Supervisor Mark Savela’s Savela Skitterers and Orphan Black writer-producer Alex Levine (last year’s champ) are out of the running this year.

Yeah! Playoffs, baby!

A couple of weeks ago we were at a pet shop looking for new doggy beds when I came across one I thought the dogs would love.  Akemi thought I was crazy, insisting the beds were too small.  And they are.  But that’s exactly why I knew my dogs would love ‘em.  Bubba enjoys nestling into the laundry hamper so I just knew he’d take a liking to my purchase.  And I was right!

Kinda squishy

Lulu, on the other hand – well, there’s no telling how she’ll make use of her dog bed…
