I'll try and write up a few paragraphs about what I ... http://www.phase2.net/2008/07/19/galleries/ [gallery] Man, I'm so mean to my dogs. http://www.phase2.net/2008/07/18/my-dogs-are-aliens/ So yeah, it happened again - I failed to update my blog for a few months as things got pretty crazy around here.   Most of this craziness was centered around moving to a new house as our rent expired on our old house.  The ironic thing being that we ... http://www.phase2.net/2008/07/17/it-happened-again/
