Silly Humans At It Again

9/9/2014

I have to give it to mommy - I do believe she's the silliest person I know. Today, she had to feed the feral cats for her parents, and found a chicken in their yard. What does she do? She decides to see if the old wives tale that you can't catch a chicken once it starts running is rue. And it turns out, it is true. She ran halfway across the yard after that chicken. I'll bet that was a sight for everybody driving by, to watch a woman in a green shirt and grey pants running after a chicken and holding her pink cell phone out trying to get a picture. And here's the thing: she's proud of herself for it! "Well, now I know it's true. Chickens can run pretty fast," she said while making tacos for supper.

And in case you're wondering, it seems that silly is contagious. Now daddy has caught the spirit and is watching "Kick A** II." This movie is ridiculously silly. I love it. Moods really do catch, so why not spread a good one? Maybe mommy is learning from me. She says her goal is to be as happy as I am. I'd say she's on her way. Well, I don't chase chickens through peoples' yards, but I think she's getting it in her own unique way. Maybe we'll get daddy in the spirit, too! He has an ear infection, but he's recovering and maybe as he does, some happy energy will overtake him too!

That's all today. Take care, and have a great rest of the week.

Luv,

Zack

Random Silliness

7/24/2014

I have to give our parronts credit for their gift of random silliness. Maybe it's part of being human, but sometimes they're just amusing.

Like the other night, when mommy said she'd tell Zack a bedtime story. It went something like this:

Mommy: Once upon a time there was a bird, and he went to sleep. THE END.
Daddy: What was that?
Mommy: Flash fiction.

And boy, did Zack laugh. He got a kick out of that. I must admit that I found it amusing too. That was the shortest story I ever heard. But I do hear that flash fiction is a growing trend some places. Where, I don't know, but if mommy can suss out a market then you know she'll give it a shot.

Shortly after that, daddy was looking at the news, specifically everything happening in Russia. Mommy said Reagan might have said to tear down this wall, but pretty soon Obama (or whoever comes after him) is going to say "oh, just put the wall back up, Putin. We ain't got time for your crap!" Really? That would be kind of funny. If only she hadn't started on her thing about The Cold War starting back up again. And she says daddy likes conspiracy theories. Yea, ok. But then again, he did just pull up something called "Unsealed - Conspiracy Files" on Netflix, so ...

Zack and I love mommy and daddy. They love us. They take good care of us. And they endlessly amuse us, too. I'll bet your human parronts entertain you, too. Humans are so silly!

Well, I'm gonna go to watch this thing about how the government controls our minds. Hmm. Wonder if that will work to get some popcorn from the pantry to my food dish?

That's all today. Take care. Have a happy Friday and a wonderful weekend.

Luv,

Chloe

Better Week

3/8/2014

We've had a better week at home, which is good news. Mommy and daddy were able to make it to work every day without anything breaking or any cause for chaos, destruction or ruin. So there's an improvement. In fact, it seems things are getting back to normal. Here's my evidence:

1. Mommy's writing again. She wrote A LOT this week, and did more research on genies too. And she's been rambling about plot structure and plans too. We've slept really well this week.

2. They went to church Wednesday night and came back with dirt on their heads. Chloe would have NONE of that. They immediately had to get those ashes GONE or there were going to be problems. But all was well when they opened the bags they brought home and they were full of French fries!

3. Daddy is still watching comedies. Best thing, I think. They could use a break from all the sci-fi and fantasy. It gives Chloe nightmares sometimes. The last 2 movies have been "Bad Grandpa" and "We're the Millers." Total silly. (Mommy is more of a Seinfield fan, but she's been so busy researching and writing that she handed over the choice reins to daddy).

4. STEAK! Mommy went to the grocery store and brought home STEAK because daddy wants to GRILL! Hooray for warmer weather (especially after 3 straight days of cold rain - welcome to SC, we waited and the weather changed).

5. Mommy & daddy went to the fish market today. They were out of fish and told the parronts to come back later. What?

So yes, the usual levels of silliness and weirdness are coming back into our home. Thank goodness.

That's all today. Take care, and enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Luv,

Zack

Blackmail?

10/3/2013

Oh, my goodness. It’s already starting. Turn the calendar page to October and mommy’s already blackmailing us with Santa. She sang us this song a couple of days ago:

You better watch out
You better not cry
You better not pout, I’m telling you why
Santa’s making his list right now.

No slinging the seed
No whacking Chloe
No beating the ‘keet or chewing the sheets
Santa’s making his list right now.

He’s viewing the surveillance
He’s pulling your rap sheet
He’s running your footprints through the state
So your record better be clean

Oh, you better watch out
You better not cry
You better not pout, I’m telling you why
Santa’s making his list right now!

Isn’t that the silliest, most ridiculous thing you’ve ever heard? And it works for Zack, every year! He loves Santa. All she has to do is say his name, and the halo pops over his head. Big eyes, tipped head, sweetest look and all. Good grief!

Goodness, we’re just considering Halloween. Let’s enjoy fall and the fun of that season. Because we don’t take Halloween too seriously. It’s just a fun holiday to gorge on sweets and watch those Michael Meyers movies. Daddy loves them. Zack says hey to him. Big dude in a mask with a huge knife, and Zack sees him standing in the shadows and says “hey!” He loves Halloween because it means that the fun time of year is coming. And we don’t have trick-or-treaters, because really – what person in their right mind would let their kids come back in the woods and knock on our door? Not with us rocking the “is the house abandoned or is it not?” look. The parronts aren’t big on outdoor décor. And with all of those trees, you really can’t see it well from the road anyway. Mommy likes that, daddy’s okay with is, and the pizza delivery and UPS drivers think it’s a huge pain in the rear. Oh well.

Zack and Ollie say I’m too serious and I need to lighten up and have fun. Maybe they’re right. Maybe I need to embrace the silliness and enjoy the fun. After all, it’s not like it’s going away. Not with mommy around. She’s a silly magnet.

That’s all today. I hope you have a Happy Friday tomorrow and a great weekend.

Luv,

Chloe

No Luck Here

8/1/2013

Well folks, mommy and daddy didn't win the PowerBall drawing. And now mommy is complaining because she wants her $2 back. I don't think it works like that, mommy. Good grief, these silly humans. Gambling really doesn't suit her. She should definitely stay away from Vegas, eh?

The lottery - who came up with that idea? A bunch of people spend money on a ticket for an infinity times infinity chance at winning an impossibly big jackpot. Seriously, it's like five point three seven million to one chance. Who thought that was a good idea? And yet people do it. They all think they're going to be "the one." Silly humans. At least other games have a strategy, like Blackjack and poker. (Although I don't know what it is). The lottery is a bunch of Barbie and Ken dolls drawing ping pong balls with numbers on them. If they mess with that anymore. People have better things to do. They probably use a computer to pick the numbers now. Hmm. It's still silly.

It's a good thing birds don't believe in luck. We believe in living the best you can and being happy with what you have. It's why we're so cheerful all the time. That, and kind human suckers - I mean, parronts - to take care of us.

I think I'm going to spin my hypno wheel and sing a bit before bedtime.

That's all today. I hope you have a Happy Friday tomorrow and a great weekend!

Luv,

Ollie

Silly Humans

7/28/2013

Do you humans realize how funny you are sometimes? You're absolutely silly! Like now, the parronts are watching "V for Vendetta" and they're going OMG! That's how things are going now!

Yep, you're right. The government is out to get you. That steak you ate for supper gravely offended them, and mommy's writing has bored them to sleep too many times. They're coming for you. Mommy and daddy say art imitates life. I say it's made by people, so it reflects people. Duh. If I did something, you'd expect it to be particularly birdish, wouldn't you?

They've also been watching Seinfield lately, and those are some people that get into some silly fixes. The problem is, regular people get in fixes too. Mommy seems to be particularly prone to this. Like the time she took the bug zapper to a moth and it blew up. Or the time she got behind the wrong police car in a funeral procession and wound out at Chick-fil-A instead of the graveside service. Or the time she called Pizza Hut and asked for the special that Dominos was running. Or just tonight, when Chloe tried to hide in her hair, but she had conditioner in it so Chloe slid out of it like a Slip-n-Slide, complete with the crash landing.

Silly humans. They amuse me so much. Who says a life of captivity is bad? I love my life. These people pamper me and treat me like royalty. And they're so silly that I'm always cackling at something!

Here's hoping you have kind humans taking care of you - with the right amount of silly added in!

Luv,

Zack

Busy Week!

9/14/2012

Well, it's been a busy week for mommy and daddy at least. They've worked hard. Of course, that means that WE'VE worked hard too, because our job is to make them happy and to help them destress once they get home. Our job starts when they get home from work! We love our human flock members and want to be great birds for them.

I know Zack, Chloe and I have worked hard too this week. They've been super sweet and snuggling, and I've composed a record number of new songs this week. I'm just so happy to have the whole flock together that I can't help but sing!

That's all for today. I'm going to finish watching a silly movie with daddy - Hangover 2. We've seen it before. Mommy says those guys are so dumb that she's surprised they're still alive. I think that's what makes it so funny.

Happy Friday to you and I hope you have a great weekend.

Luv,

Ollie

Humans

5/4/2012

Humans are interesting. I tell you, they care about the craziest things.

Take mommy and daddy, for example. They're excited because they're going to see The Avengers in 3D tomorrow. Mommy even bought the movie tickets online a couple of days ago because her church volunteer project is in the morning and she didn't want the hassle of standing in line to get tickets tomorrow afternoon.

Now don't get me wrong. I'm sure it's a good movie. But going to all that trouble, and seeing it in 3D? I don't get it. I mean, Netflicks sends us a DVD in an envelope about twice a week. And if mommy doesn't buy this movie when it comes out on DVD then daddy will put it in the que. So why are they going to all this trouble to see something in the theater for all that money when it can be delivered to the house in a few months for our regular monthly fee? I mean, that's the way they do it for most movies. I don't think they've been to the movie theater since last summer.

I guess this one is special, but I certainly don't know why. And mommy said that for what they paid for the movie tickets, she should be able to hold Thor's hammer. Yea, right. Like she could handle that. I believe mommy thinks she's a superhero sometimes. And she is a hero in being a good mommy. But picking up that hammer - not gonna happen. I don't think she'll be beating down aliens any day soon either. Then again, aliens aren't real either. So it's a good thing she won't need to do that.

The bottom line is I don't understand trends and fads. Birds don't worry about such things. We just bop along through each day, glad we're birds with good, caring human parents. We figure all the good stuff will come to us, as it usually does. Being a domestic bird is great, as long as you have sweet parents like ours.

Happy Friday to you and I hope you have a good weekend. Enjoy The Avengers if you see it this weekend. I'm sure mommy will give us a full report of it's awesomeness by this time tomorrow. No doubt, she will also blast her opinion on it all over Facebook and Twitter too. Humans are so silly.

Ok, that's all folks.

Luv,

Ollie

I'm so happy it's Friday! That means mommy and daddy are home for 2 days. I'm glad for them. It's been a hectic week at work for both of them, and I'm happy they'll be home and have some time off.

They're watching a silly movie right now. It's called The Hangover 2. The saw the first movie a couple of weeks ago. Humans are so silly. How in the world do they get in so much trouble?

I don't completely understand my humans, but they're good. I know they love us and they take good care of us. But my, can they be silly! Mommy makes up the silliest songs for us.

Well, I have some pin feathers I need to preen. I've got to take care of them so I can stay pretty and fluffy.

Have a great weekend. Take care of yourself and be sure you always look your best.

Luv,

Chloe
