Stephanie and I added a new addition to our little family this morning. We brought home a boxer puppy. His shelter name was “Blue” because of his one blue eye and one brown eye. His mother’s name was Magenta. We weren’t sold on the name though and since he was so young, we’ve changed it to Canon. If you don’t know why, you dont’ know me very well. I had to throw a few pictures of him up, so here they are.

Don’t worry, they’re only playing. They actually like each other a lot. And Addi is still the boss of the house.

To see a few more photos, click my flickr page here or go to Facebook. I’m sure you’re going to see a lot more tomorrow.

LOSANGELES — In a stunning turn of events, attorneys for the late-actress Farah Fawcett have filed motions to sue Michael Jackson for theft under California Penal Code 484.

Attorneys for the Fawcett estate claim Jackson “stole Fawcett’s thunder” Thursday, June 25.

Fawcett and Jackson died several hours apart on Thursday.

“We cannot standby and let him upstage Mrs. Fawcett’s death,” said a spokesman who wished to remain anonymous for the Fawcett estate. “Mr. Jackson is a petty man for even attempting such a stunt.”

Ms. Fawcett, the 1970s poster girl, had a string of success from modeling gigs and is most notably known for her work on Charlie’s Angels in the 1970s.

Jackson on the other hand wowed fans with his musical talent from a young age and continued a decorated career until the early 90s when a series of scandals gave him an Adonis Complex.

Mr. Jackson’s attorney claims Michael was unaware of this morning’s events and never meant any harm or ill will toward Ms. Fawcett.

“Michael hadn’t even heard the news this morning,” said his anonymous source.  “Even if he had, this certainly wasn’t the day he had in mind.”

The Fawcett legal staff said they are suspicious of the timing of Mr. Jackson’s death.

“This is a man who couldn’t stay out of the lime light,” said Calvin Ackley, intern at the law office that represents Mrs. Fawcett. “He was so desperate that he actually had fake molestation charges brought upon himself to get attention.”

An intern for Mr. Jackson’s legal staff said she was appalled at the claims.

“Look, we know Mike was a bit bizarre, but for reals, you think he died just to trump Farrah, I mean whatever,” said Anne Yokay. “If he was going to plan this, it would’ve been someone with a few more awards than Mrs. Fawcett.”

Ackley claims Jackson’s reputation speaks for itself.

“Look what he’s already done,” said Ackley. “I mean Paul McCartney has to pay him everytime he sings ‘Hey Jude.’”

Ackley was referring to Jackson’s purchase of The Beatles catalog out from under McCartney.
Penal Code 484 under California constitution is listed as theft, but Fawcett’s staff is hoping to upgrade the charges to Grand Theft.

“It’s not like this was a birthday or anniversary,” said Ackley. “You only get to die once.”

If convicted, Mr. Jackson could spend six months in jail and up to a $1000 fine for petty theft and an additional 1 to 2 years if convicted of Grand Theft.

Even though I’m usually a little bit more about natural light for weddings, I’m coming around to the flash idea. Especially after this photos. It just wouldn’t have looked quite right with natural light. Or Natural Light. Ha…college was fun. Anyway, I loved this photo from Erin and Chad’s wedding.

The only other titles of this photo were far too offensive to anti-abortionists. In the spirit of not offending people, I just called it like I saw it.
