SOS
I'm stuck in Boulder Creek, CA. My parents went out of town, and I'm watching the house/dog/brothers.
At least I brought my computer, and I just got SIMS 3! Woot.
Also, here's some pictures of where I am, and my dog, Django. Enjoy.
The first picture is the view from the back deck. If you can spot it, there is a fire lookout tower on the top of the far ridge (might be tough to spot), but they actually use that tower and OUR DRIVEWAY to triangulate fires in the valley, neato.
The second pic is my dog, Django. He's waiting patiently for a treat.
The third is delicious homegrown strawberries. OM NOM NOM, they were like candy.
Full size pics can be seen on my flickr!

Omgg, poor you! Haha, that view is b-e-a-utiful and your doggie is so cute! Those strawberries look tempting... do you like the sims 3? I got it too!
Awww...I love your puppy!
That dog looks so wise.
He's kinda dumb...
BUT! He's very sweet. He also has very human like eyes, which can be kinda creepy, and some people think his lips are pretty human like too... http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3313/3607347917_eef0711224_b.jpg
My dog has human eyes too, my mum says she channels her dad a lot.
@kabroskie it scares me that people are talking about your dogs lips
Aw! Your dog is adorable!
@nocreativity - lol, I know, but he sorta does have human lips... But now we're talking about my dogs lips.
probably because they look so kissable...
I'm going to get in trouble again, aren't I?
HAHAHAHAH
I'd also like to add that I just found LA LOOKS in the guest bathroom, is this awesome? I hope so, cuz it's goin in my hair!

OMG NO LA LOOKS SUCKS.

I smell like an east coast hair salon in the 90's and my hair looks terrible...
Good thing i'm only going to Johnnies Super!
HAHAHA LA LOOKS- Stylin'
HAHAH. Oh Kabroskie, will you ever learn?
This sounds like the beginning of a bad horror movie. . . you boozed up in a cabin in the woods with a dog and bad gel in you hair. Lol!
ooooh I love strawberries, especially home grown ones...
HAHAHAHA @Lavabunny ! How'd you know?!
Too bad its not a cabin though.
Ha, ha, ha! Oh, god, LA Looks!
@lynnie482 - They were so good, and I'm convinced they're sweeter because they are growing in the soil of a lemon tree, even though I don't think that would have any bearing on it.. hahaha
@kabroskie Strawberries that get to ripen on the vine instead of being picked early to ship better are awesome. My grandma's were right next to the apple trees, and they were always so good too!
mmmmmm, now I wish I had more.
Mmm i remember when we used to have a strawberry plant in our backyard :]
Those strawberries remind me of a few summers ago when I went to West Virginia with a friend who's parents were building a cabin on the top of a mountain. There were wild strawberries all over and we'd all walk around eating them.
Your dog is really cute :)
STRAWBERRIES!!!
I KILL FOR FRESH, HOME GROWN STRAWBERRIES INSTEAD OF THAT CRAP WE GET AT THE SUPERMARKET.
Oops. Forgot the caps lock. Sorry. *turns red*
Thanks Amber, and yeah, homegrown strawberries are the shizzle. The 'rents also grow tomatoes.. mmm
I have never had a homegrown tomato, but I've heard they are amazing. My grandma just started a vegetable garden this spring, so when I visit this summer I'll finally get to try some home grown veggies :D
Where do you live?
:| Indiana.
Ah. Hydroponic gardens are getting cheap, i've thought about growing my own veggies etc indoors (due to space limitations at my apt).
What's a hydroponic garden?
Home grown veggies are the best. I grew up in the "Garden State" (Ugh! - anyone makes fun of that and "I kill you" ;) and we had the bestest tomatoes and corn and strawberries and so many other things.
Hydroponic garden is where you grow things in water instead of soil.

Not directed at anyone, yet... :)

Ahhh! I see. That's pretty snazzy. I never heard of that before.
Thanks K, mine was a pretty lame answer.
I hate your dog.
@mikhail - I hate your cats.
great pictures! love lookouts, use to always go in 'em as a kid. cute puppy dog too!
Lucky! I really want the Sims 3! I should get it! How is the game?
Boredom + dumb dog + L.A. looks =

LOL
yeh poor you,lol and the doggie is so cute and the strawberries seem really good to eat
My grandparents are retired farmers, I grew up with fresh everything just down the street. The luxuries of growing up in the country!
Sigh. Fresh strawberries...
I love cats. :P
Dogs drool...cats rule. ;P
HAHA @vntgbabe
@lamerchick I love cats too... meow...
You take great pictures kabroskie! I love Santa Cruz, tis one of my favorite towns! I do capoeira there...i wanna live there...now im going on about it and no one cares...
im shutting up now.
You do capoeria? Thats awesome! Are you local? Can you rescue me from the BIG HUGE GROSS BROWN SPIDERS EVERYWHERE in my parents house?!?!
Thanks for the compliment btw.
Heck yes! Capoeira is like the most awesomest thing ever. Period. Do you see them in town a lot? I wish i was good though, thats my prob...lol flipping around all crazy like.
Are there brown recluses in california?
Not the right question, i know...rofl
what a cute dog :)
haha, after reading all these comments I see a horror movie where lamerchick comes to kabroskie's cabin in order to murder him for his strawberries. Over his dead body she looks into the eerily human eyes of the dog to discover the soul of her long-lost something or other is trapped in the body of a dog. The dog lips comments made me think somebody should make-out with the dog, but I don't know if anybody is down for making out with a dog. And the big spiders, they'd be great for an 8-legged Freaks angle. Perhaps the spiders can be frozen by the Mega Mega Hold (one mega is not enough) of the LA Looks hair gel? Man, this movie is writing itself.
Also...fresh strawberries, your dog, and a weekend away? Nobody is going to feel sorry for you! I could whine about the English weather, but I think the majority of people would say, "Awwww, it is raining and cold in England? Boo hoo." But man, I do wish the sun would come out.
Lmao @elenalee!!! How did i get the staring role in this movie? :) An no freaking way I'm making out with the dog. Uh uh!! No way. I've made out with too many jackasses in my lifetime already. I'm done with animals. ;)
OH, the long lost something or other - I hope it would be my prince charming, whom I'm still waiting for...
@lamerchick - it was your all caps kill for fresh strawberries comment. I took it literally. So no making-out with dogs for you. Sigh, I hope there is someone who will take advantage of the dog lips! Although what if it was your prince charming and it was like the frog prince and you had to kiss the dog to turn him back into a human? There's a castle and royal title in it for you if you do!
Lol, I NEVER type things in all caps which is why I forgot to turn it off and I was in a hurry and didn't feel like retyping it in lower case. However, the caps were very appropriate for that comment, so I'm glad I left it like that. :)
Sigh, you know, I've kissed too many jackasses too, and Lord knows none of them ever turned into my prince charming. But a castle and royal title and a prince charming... hmmm, if you guarantee me that it will all work out in the end, I'll consider it. No tricks though. No me waking up at the end of the movie next to kabroskie's dog and finding out it was all a dream... ;)
Or...
Silence, I Kill You.

:D
@lamerchick: Jeff Dunham and Achmed for the win! I got to see his show when he was in Detroit, and it was awesome. Almost as good as seeing Robin Williams live. Sorry Kabroskie, that's way off topic of your blog :)
@agauthier79: I'd LOVE to see his show. Achmed is my favorite. I have the Christmas DVD and LMAO everytime I watch it. I'd be that chick they show in the crowd in that ^ video laughing uncontrollably. And I think this entire blog is so off topic at this point... :) I'm not even sure how this video originally made it in here. :)
@elenalee - you are my new best friend, that story was incredible!! hahaha.
@lamerchick - have you been studying in the "Kabroskie's school for thread derailment"? hahah I kid, I kid. ;-)
@kabroskie: Hmm, I seem to remember talking about strawberries, and feeling weak and dizzy, and then the lights went out. Then I woke up with a dog with lips and hair. Sigh. Story of my life... :p
Looks lovely out there, and your dog is so cute!
@kabroskie - Ah ha ha, thanks new bestie, your posts tend to inspire some insane commenting. I'll make sure I give you a movie credit.
@lamerchick - I love your frog/dog prince!!!
This is the funniest post thread I've read in a while! I can't work for all the pictures in my head.
These are the only comments I actually read. They are so amusing!
These comments are great. I used to house-sit for friends in Boulder Creek but nothing this interesting ever happened.
@angelabc - But at least you've been here and know how HORRIBLY boring it is!
Oh yeah...REAl boring.
great pics!
Wow! Bea-U-TI-FUL! Django is too too cute!
I'm way late in responding to this looks like (I'm blaming it on a huge life change, not the alcohol)
but....
Yay for Sims 3!
Holy crapola is that picture of the strawberry gorgeous. And Django is so cute. He deserves many treats.
Yeah, let's start talking about the strawberries again and get lamerchick all drooling again. ;) You better pick that strawberry already or I'm coming for it and by God anyone who gets in my way better watch out. :)
j/k alicatstrut. :)
@triplyksis - Yay! It's so much fun.
@aliciatstrut @lamerchick - the strawberry was consumed shortly after that photograph was taken. om nom nom.
*cries*
For all of you who are interested, I just put new pictures up on my flickr! Some of Django, some of strawberries, and some other stuff too!

BONUS PICTURE: My parents have sporks.

OMG! That's hilarious! It's a soup...it's a meal...WHO CARES! We've got sporks...we can eat it all!
Hahaha, yeah. They're great as a butter knife too, hahaha
I don't think I've ever seen a metal spork before. Where do you find such things? (Besides your parent's house, haha).
I think thats it... hahaha. Yeah, metal sporks rule!
@kabroskie - That's good. I guess the horror movie you're in isn't "Attack of the Killer Strawberry."
Yeah, more like "Steve eats delicious strawberries"
Hahaha, love it.
Those killer strawberries are freaky. They remind me of when my friend sent me a bunch of vagina dentata photos. Creeeeeeepy. I think I'll have to find some metal sporks so that if any killer strawberries come after me I can spoon some cream over them and then stab them. Mmmmmm, strawberries and cream eaten with a spork.
@elenalee - You're so ready for Boulder Creek!
what a cute dog!!
yum! you have strawberries!
sounds like your stuck in paradise! :)
ah you play the sims. that makes me happy inside.
and your parents are amazing people for having metal sporks.
lol sporks! Yeah, the sims is too much fun. I've been using a hermit that I made, he's all kinds of crazy, and doesn't work, just digs through peoples trash, fishes, and gardens for a living, hahaha
OMG.. I agree with @elenalee. but i won't to give some weird comment because I don't want @lamerchick killed me. LOL =p
@kabroskie & @lamerchick : U're perfect match. but funny & crazy couple. not romantic. =)
@kabroskie : poor you.. LOL but I love you dog. =)
@vntgbabe : the dog pic is really cute & crazy. I can't stop laughing.
I feel like I came home one morning and the house is completely trashed, keg floating in the pool, even the dog has a hangover, and I realize I missed one hell of a party.
