parakeetwednesday:
I haven’t quite decided on that second one, but I’m leaning toward a no. My dad is constantly talking about how he really wants to see movies just for the effects and he thinks movies that don’t involve chase scenes and crashes are boring. It’s so frustrating. Explosions and computer-generated graphics alone do not a movie make.

The average age of the used books I collect is roughly 90 years old. That means, in about 10 years, almost all of them will be over a century old. They’re children’s books, like Wind in the Willows, Tom Sawyer, Heidi, Tarzan of the Apes, Three Musketeers, classics that have remained immortal for…

MY DOG.

Dear Tumblr,
Let this be a lesson for you all.
This is why you don’t buy beautiful purebred puppies from breeders. They turn out like this. You go to an animal shelter, and you adopt that mutt of questionable descent. Because it’s going to still look like an actual dog when it enters adulthood.
This? A rat? Maybe. Could be a cross between a badger and a tarsier. I dunno. ...
so I gelled my dog's hair up in little Seuss-ish...
Me: Mom, look at Barker. He looks like a Who. “I need to find Jojo, I’ve got to save Who!”
Mom: WOOOOOOOOPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Me and my sister: …
Mom: isn’t that what they say?
Me: No. Yopp.
Sister: Wop is a deragatory term for Italians.
