BREAKING NEWS!!!!!!

I just had to share with 23 of my closest friends. Ryan Phillippe and I are separating!! I can't believe it. Here's a picture of us from happier times. We tried so hard, but once my career started taking off, he got so jealous. I'm not sure how I'm going to get through the day, esp. b/c I'm dressed up in all my pink finery here at work to celebrate Halloween.

Pounce, the Movie

The party happened!

Evidence is above, and I just uploaded the rest of the pictures to a photo site. I'm sending out an invite to everyone to look at them. Let me know if you didn't get it or it didn't work.

Thanks for hosting a great party, Tina.

Party

Dear Pounce,

Sorry I can't come to the party this weekend...I'll be freezing my butt off in Rochester playing at Danse Macabre. However, I expect to receive at least two drunken phone calls from you ladies. That is all (for now).

Love,
Virb

Tina's funny house discovery of the week

So, Jenny thought this story was funny when I told it in person, so I'll give it a shot online.

Tuesday, it's freaking freezing outside, and I'm looking for the best hats, gloves, mittens, ear muffs, whatever I can find. Among the many "useful" things Mr. Insano left in my house for me were two boxes of stuff in the hall closet which I assumed would be hats and gloves, based on the scarf sitting on top of them.

So, I go to the first box - just old work gloves and a couple pairs of lovely 70s style men's gloves (Any of your men need a pair for their costumes?). So I go to the second box, and a cascade of yarmulkes comes flying out at me. There must be 50 in the box. Thank you Mr. Psycho.

So, ok. that story was much better in person. But Chrissy has met Mr. Insano, so she'll understand.

Officer Mandy Weigel


So. I promised Virb-a-li-cious that I would post a cool story or something hilarious. Well, we all know I can't pull off cool, and all my stories lately begin with "Heinz History Center," which definitely aren't cool, so that leaves me with something hilarious. Now, Virb-butt-sky has compared me to a really small hairy dog, and I think that warrents a rebuttal. Instead of sinking to my usual levels of, well, ya'll know what I do, I thought I would provide some pictorial goodness as well.

So, Virb-ish will not be attending our party this weekend because she is playing ultimate. I really don't know who she thinks she is - Jacin and Lucy aren't playing and they are way cooler. Anyway, as a result, I thought we deserved to at least see what we would be missing. Above is a crude mock-up of Officer Mandy Weigel, adopted cousin to Officer Trudy Weigel. Although her head's large and she looks confused, I assure you, Officer Mandy is a very capable officer - that is, unless you need brute strength, cunning or stealth. If you need any of those three I recommend you get anyone else and they'll get the job done. But if you're looking for someone who can take on shrubbery and win, well then Officer Mandy, well, she can't really do that either. Okay, so she's not a real officer- we just let her dress up as one when she leaves the house. Shhh, don't tell her, she'll get upset.

**Disclaimer: Apologies to Erin and all other Pouncers who are better artists, illustrators and photoshop users. I did what I could with what I had to work with.

Look! It's Jenny Pack in Boston Terrier form! I mean, I think it's a Boston Terrier. But it's definitely dressed as Princess Leia.

I'll start you guys out. These dogs are dressed as bananas. And are hanging out in banana boxes. Discuss.

Hooray!

J.P. told me to make a Pounce blog. Done and done. Now we just need some posts. Hilarious work/school stories are welcome.

Love,
Virb
