Ona kitty (Evil Mastermind) gives pointers on creating your own evil genius laugh.
Now when you feel the need to TAKE OVER THE FREAKING WORLD...oh, sorry getting ahead of myself there…as i was saying, when you feel the world needs your undeniable skills as their future conquerer it is important to fully develop your true evil genius laugh. Many evil wantabes will be quick to tell you that an good evil genius laugh is a complete waste of time. HA the fools know so little my minions, that is why i am your true evil mastermind.
“What does an evil genius laugh provide?” your simple, little human mind ask. Well, i will tell you, my lower beings, as i do not want my minions embarrassing me in front of my nemesis. Perfecting a deep throaty evil laugh is an essential part of the repertoire a complete nefarious soul. Your evil laugh tells the world to quivering at your feet and that you are in control, you and you alone are their true master, and all hope for truth, justice and a savor will come to nell, nought, nadda. Yes, a truly effective evil genius laugh is a must, my lesser than less little rub.
Remember that lung power is essential in developing your evil genius laugh. Be sure to use your whole chest as a resonating chamber, not just the upper part of your lungs, you simple minded idgit. Timbre and tone are important here, you want a deep, wholesome chortle, punctuated by carefully timed breaks between the bursts of guffaw. Nothing says you have total control like a profound guffaw filled with derision and scorn at the feebleness of your soon-to-be-crushed opponents. Remember…Practice, Practice, Practice, lung power is essential, funny looking monkey beings. Also keep in mind that screaming at your minions for hours on end will also strengthen your vocal chords enabling you to fully lengthen your evil genius laugh (oh, opps, silly me, did i say that out load) It is essential that you develop a good evil genius laugh that can go on for what will seem like an eternity.
Listen…
WWWWWWWWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHHAH
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHHAHA
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHHAA!!
Now, i could go on longer but i do not wish to strike to much terror and fear into your feeble hearts today. Til next time my lowly minions….
Obey the OOna kitty!

The fire pit we dug just for the party (we'll be using it many more times after this since it turned out so awesome).
It took us roughly (on & off) about two weeks to dig, 44" wide, 30" deep with 20" of gravel (the area dug around is about a foot wide, Scott plans to add stone here just ran out of time for before the party).
It really turned out great.

Sorry for the delay in getting these out, we are still catching up.
This is getting everything ready for Bella big birthday bash, if you look closely you can see the guest of honor already ready and waiting for her guest.
She absolutely loves sitting in her car so we figured it would be perfect to just pull the car down and let her sit in it all night and that's just what she did and loved every minute of it.

As you can see (with great peril to the cameraman, i might add) the OOna kitty demotrates her swift ninja kill move on the innocent little Lamodoole...oh the horror of it all, look away, if you must but know there is no escaping the great OOna kitty...

I'll try to lot the images from the party over the next few days. Bella was so excited to see so many of the people she loves come by and celebrate her becoming a teenager (heehee, well, she still acts like one).
This is the grand queen with some of her booty, we really never expected anyone to bring gifts we were just excited that so many wanted to celebrate with us. Of course, little Miss. Princess here didn't complain at all, she made out like a bandit!
Pictured here: the seaturtle, soft pumpkin(in distance), feet of the funniest rubber chicken (from Valerie & Sheryl), happy birthday bone (from Leslie) & if you look really, really closely a few crumbs of the incredible chicken jerky (from Kia's mom Mindy). Oh and gifts not pictured: Lickalots (from Michele & Bill, thank you, thank you) and treats (from Randy & Patrick and also from Dawn) and the wonderful chicken treats (from Mary, thank you). Hope I didn't miss anyone.
Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!
Happy 13th Birthday Bella!

OOna noir
Originally uploaded by studio583art.
So as we dive ever deeper into the dark and mysterious OOna evil mastermind's murky past we have found clues that at one point she was in league with the somewhat famous Dastardly Dan but had decide to strike out on her own because of his many unforgivable mishaps. We have also uncovered evidence (with great personal risk, i might add) that she may have had a paw in the disastrous "Kill the Rabbit" campaign of the 1950's with the bumbling Mr. Fudd. Although it is also rumored that she saved face somewhat by exposing this horrid event by being a paid advisor on the now famous "What's Opera, Doc?" (of course, making Fudd the complete baddy-bad and leaving out her own evil actions in the whole affair & Bugs mysteriously going along with this willingly....hmmmmmmmm, veeeeerrrry interesting)
Time will only tell what other evilness we may uncover by trying to understand what makes this great evil mastermind genius tick. We understand the great risk that we three face by horboring such an evil masterind and that with her OOna mindmelt we too could become a minion in her quest to TAKE OVER THE WORLD!!! WAHAHAHAHAHAHAH...ahhhh oh sorry, slipped there....oh no she getting to me...save yourself...run, hide before it's to late...we...will...try...to...contain...her.......help...

Looks like we'll be right up against the wire getting everything ready for her big day but i think (hope may be more like it...ARE WE FREAKING CRAZY) we'll be ready in time. The backyard still isn't completely done and we start prep work on the food tonight. As you can tell, cool as a cucumber Bella is relax and kicked back thinking (like always) that her silly humans have gone off the deep end.
A SUPER BIG, BIG THANK YOU to Kia, Lylah & Mindy for the wonderful for the wonderful homemade all natural treats for Bella's birthday.
Thank you so much, she loves them!

And I know too much to go back an' pretend
'cause I've heard it all before
And I've been down there on the floor
No one's ever gonna keep me down again
Oh yes I am wise
But it's wisdom born of pain
Yes, I've paid the price
But look how much I gained
If I have to, I can do anything
I am strong (strong)
I am invincible (invincible)
I am kitty...

Bella and her after bath cream on her bedroom bed. Yes, she has her own bed for the times when she doesn't to sleep with us (it's the same heigth as our bed). The grey covered part is a folded over twin futon and the pick part is an 'Urban Sprawl' dog bed (one of the best out there, if you've not heard of it) and another dog bed inbetween covered with a quilt. Our friend Randy (who he and his partener Patrick just resued a bull-terrrier, YAY!! they'll be great parents!) doesn't call Bella spoiled, he calls her fortunate.
I smile, because really, we are the fortunate ones, not her. Thank you my love.
OOna we're screwed
Originally uploaded by studio583art.
ok, i know people laugh and wink behind our backs about the whole OOna Mindmelt thing and that she 'reeeaaally' isn't trying to take over the world, but hey don't listen to me, nnnooooo, just sing your merry little songs and wink & nudge each other making fun of the silly artists.
You just wait....uhhmmmmm....see here ...MORE PROOF!! HA!HA!
So you see, we were getting ready to head out the door just the other day and Gwen grabbed the door knob which came off in her hand. Hmmmmm...yes we thought this was strange, but hey we live in an old (20's) house and something like this isn't all together unusual. Scott grabbed his tools to fix it, but there were no screws, hmmmm...even stranger. So while Scott was looking for screws, Gwen decided to go out another door to check the mail...the same thing happen(the door knob came off)....stranger still...we go check the last outside door and yes you guess it THE FREAKING DOOR KNOB FALLS OFF THIS DOOR TOO!!!!!!!!!!
So after we both stop screaming (October-Halloween-Evil Mastermind OOna Kitty In The House, you would scream too), Bella slaps us and does her weime point thing at OOna (Evil Mastermind).
THIS IS WHAT WE SAW!! This is also when we realized there was evil laughing in the air (hey, when you live with evil laughing everyday, you tend to not notice it). Luckily Scott had the camera in his hand and was able to click this photo (look closely, you can see the screws, how she got them out remains a mystery).

The Great Pumpkin Incident
Originally uploaded by studio583art.
Now not all Halloweens go off completely as you originally plan them to. I would guess it probably has something to do with the whole spooky ghost thing or maybe it’s just the perfect time for crazy, silly things to just happen, I don’t know. What I do know is that for us “The Great Pumpkin Incident” (we tend to name our great catastrophes, it gives them a nice kind of ring) made us both swear off anything to do with all things pumpkin. Pumpkin pie, pumpkin cake, pumpkin carving, even pumpkin seeds! At least for a good 10 years or so.
Anyway the whole story all started one October after we had been together for a year or two. Oh, you know how it goes, punch drunk in love, willing to try anything, crazy little weime pup whose greatest joy in the world is to see just how much fun and destruction one little pup-pup can get herself into. Your typical everyday combo. This time our crazy idea of fun was to carve a pumpkin. Now mind you, we never do anything simple (don’t ask me why, guess that’s why Bella thinks we are so silly), we had decided that since it was one of our first Halloweens and we had this nut-head little wacky weime, why not carve a whole bunch of pumpkins. AT THE SAME TIME! Yeah, what a great idea, why just carve one simple little pumpkin when you can carve five medium size pumpkins even though neither one of us had ever carved just one. Yeah, great idea, brilliant, hey we were young, stupid and had a weimerenar, give us break.
So, we picked out our pumpkins with weime in toe and everything went pretty smoothly and you know we were thinking, “Man, this is going to great.” Well, we get our pumpkins home, spread newspaper all over our largest drafting table, give Bella a treat, grab some knives and get to carving. Now, you may already know by now but carving a bunch of pumpkins sounds like a whole lot of fun late the night before when you come up with the idea at 4am, but it’s a whole other thing when you’ve got the five pumpkins staring you in the face. It suddenly becomes this sticky, smelly, yucky-ucky orange horror movie seen, not to mention the fact that the treat didn’t entertain the weime. Yes, that’s right folks, we were sticky, sticking to newpaper, the table, floor, each other, the house was starting to smell, well, like pumpkin that is and it was everywhere, then the little purple nose decides she wants to help. I can’t how it all happen or even how exactly it all started but I think the true craziness began the Scott placing his sticky knife down on the table, slumped down in a chair, that’s when Bella grabbed a cutting open pumpkin and taking off running. Now it’s bad enough to try and catch a crazy weime when she has something normal that you want from her, but to try and catch a weime with a cut open, messy full of yucky stuff pumpkin in her mouth just adds a whole new meaning to the “Catch me if you can game”. So off she went, pumpkin in mouth (her nose now orange with pumpkin yuck going everywhere), we both screaming, running after her and slipping in the wake of her mess. Now Remember, Bella was a young pup of only two and faster than a whip and it doesn’t help out house that our house is a 1920’s bungalow with every room connecting to the next so it’s one big circle. Try catching a crazy pup when there’s no way to trap the little thief. Just so you get a good picture of the dog and her pumpkin, picture this; little Miss. Bella with running and leaping with legs in every direction and pumpkin stuff flying everywhere. We both gave chase (and yes, we know NOW!, the last thing you should do), Bella with her happy trot, her silly humans in pursuit sticking and sliding into everything. So this is where she gets too smart for our own damn good, as she circled back around to the room with the other pumpkins, us hot on her tail, she flings the pumpkin in her month sending it smashing into wall, turns quickly and jumps up on the drafting table with the other pumpkins.
Suffice to say, she ended up getting three of the pumpkins (yes, she’s that fast), knocked everything off the table, got pumpkin guts throughout the entire house and on every square inch of everything we owned at the time. All i can say is at times like that all you can do is start laughing with your dog.

This was right before she plopped her head down to fall asleep. Bella thinks the prep work for her party sucks and she's ready for her big day to be here already.

Now don't look up when i say this, buuuuuttt..it's her. You see, she has this strange power over me, she picks me up and i just go limp (it's really rather embarrassing for an evil mastermind. these things just don't happen to evil masterminders). hmmmmmmmm...and what's worst of all....yee-gads i think i might like her.
Crap, now what's an evil masterminder to do. Evil masterminders don't like humans. I'm suppose to be planning, mindmelting, working on evil schemes, this is not good....kind of hard to take over the world when your feet are in the air...damn the need to purr.
But worry not, my simple OOna servants, she has to go to sleep sometime and that is when i'll gain power again! Wahahaaapurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr...ok you try evil laughing when your tummy is being rubbed....
