i heart....stanley

happiest of birthdays to one of my favorite ladies...i tried to get this guy to make it to your party but he and his tambourine are currently on tour. hope you at least have a few wooden nut necklace noise makers on hand as it wouldn't be a proper party without them!
i heart you!

i heart....dogs

chinese new year is on sunday, february 18th. that means we only have one day left to celebrate the year of the dog. i will do so by dedicating this post to my favorite animal and by asking, what kind of dog are you? go here and take the CATS test (Canine Algorithmic Transfer System*). if you love me you'll post your results in the comments section.
i'd also like to congratulate james "diamond jim" for winning the coveted best in show trophe at the westminster dog show earlier this week. isn't he gorgeous?! not only was i extremely relieved that one of those stressful "poodle" creatures didn't win, but that a spaniel took home the gold. way to go diamond jim!
a dog post wouldn't be complete if i didn't take a moment to appreciate the beauty and cuteness of my little lady lou. we've been together for almost 2 weeks now and i am in love. like james she is a member of the spaniel family, he a springer, she a king charles. as you can see by the image of james he is smooth, perfect, flawless. but in my opinion what makes little lou so darn cute is what i was told are considered her "flaws" (which include a mohawk, freckled nose, whiskers and an overbite). in any case i am very happy for james for his victory and also for not having an a-hole name like most champion dogs.

speaking of a-holes, marmaduke explained is one of the funnier things i have come across in a while. this guy takes a very lame comic strip and makes it hilarious simply by explaining why it is not funny. i love joe mathelete. if you like it, i have included the link as part of my "nice ones" section on the right so you can check it out regularly through ifive.

in "nice ones" you'll find a few of my other favorite tripledubs (www.s or "websites"...i just made that up now and promise to never use it again). there is the always funny and very smart mcsweeney's (i highly recommend "lists" and "reviews of new food"), arkitip (la art magazine), good (another la based magazine dedicated to things that matter), the current (one of my favorite radio stations to stream) and of course somewhere in time (go see for yourself how glorious this is). i will be adding more so check it out for updates. anything you want to see? just let me know and i will add it (yes, even if it is a link to fantasy portraits and airbrushed tambourine art...)

goodbye year of the dog....welcome year of the pig

*(thanks mel b. for the dog test)

i heart....love

....and i love lou. and we love you. wishing you a happy valentine's day and of course a very happy SAD (singles awareness day) to my friends who are unattached.

i'd also like to send birthday wishes to our dear friend merle who is 21 today. cheers magoo!it's been a while...i know. wrapping up 06 and getting through the first month of 07 somehow kept me too busy to dedicate any time to updating iheartifive....i would like to express my deepest and sincerest apologies to those of you who have been checking daily for updates. i still heart you. i promise. you can look forward to regular posts from here on out.

i heart....birthdayz

belated birthday wishes to our dear friends tipsy and rickles...!
tiltini: i tried to order this checker board for you but they were all out of the sopressata/coppa edition (and then i remembered how much you hate games).

rickles: thank you for being a friend. you've travelled down the road and back again. your heart is true, you're a pal and a confidant. if you through a (dance) party, invited everyone you knew, you would see the biggest gift would be from me and the card attached would say "thank you for being a friend (forever)"
i heart you both the most.
