GRRRRRRR!!!!! You didn’t know I lived out in the WILDERNESS did you?

Out in the foyer of my building there are FISH-A-SWIMMING.  Why, this might be something you would see out of the COUNTRY BEAR JAMBOREE.  My bear friend here, just done and wrangled himself up some dinner.  Kudos, sir.  Catch me a fish, too!  I’ll grill it up real good.

Out here in SF it is a beautiful and warm day, but in my apartment it’s cold cold cold.  In fact, we are in the dead of winter.  Can’t you tell?  These little figurines are freezing their asses off.

There really must be micro-climates in SF.  By a matter of feet, we go from Hot to Cold.  Love you, KP.

Last time on Weird Tchotchkes I Live With we exposed Lizzy for her harsh judgements of the tenants of my building and their lack of royal decorum.  Well, Lizzy doesn’t like many in these parts, but she has a tender fondness for a pink pig donning a skirt and some pink lip gloss.  Meet Shirley.

She is Lizzy’s right hand hoover that does all her bidding.  (Can you tell Lizzy and I are enemies?!)  Shirley may look sweet and innocent with those big eyes she has, but she is a cutting bitch.  Those heels are to stomp on people’s throats.  If you head up to my little abode, look out for Lizzy and Shirley.

Did you all know that I live in the same building as royalty?  I am within mere feet of gazing upon the head of the House of Windsor every single dayYes, it’s true.

Meet Lizzy.

She sits on the window sill every single day gazing out upon her royal subjects and not so quietly judging them.  Thanks Lizzy for making me feel ugly every time I walk out the door.

It’s time for another edition of Weird Tchotchkes I Live With!  First up was this hard-working reindeer.  Next up is this dragon boat character.

Hey there, dragon boat!  What’s going on today?  Where are you sailing?  Breathe any fire lately?  I can’t quite tell if you’re angry or happy.  Do you need a hug?

This dragon boat has two heads!  Siamese twin nautical realness? I’m confused.

This dragon boat is always displayed in the window that is constantly open.  The poor thing is always blown into the house by wind, so he/she/it always ends up on the floor.  The other cool thing is that the sail moves on this small creature.

Thanks dragon boat for all that you do! (nothing)

I live in a funky little building in the Castro.  I always equivilate my living situation to that of one in Tales of the City.  It’s a little odd-ball.  My neighbors that I share my floor with collect the most random assortment of things.  I’ll explore with you, my steadfast readers, these oddities.

First up, the reindeer.  It probably is a moose, but I feel a reindeer is much more entertaining.

Not only is this little creature an accent piece, but it seems to also hold the window up.  GENIUS!  Thanks for all the hard work, little guy.
