Study: Marsupials Can See Color

Hooray!

Also, until recenlty it was thought that cat were colorblind. Now scientists know they can see color. The problem is that it's very difficult for scientists to get cats to actually care what color something is.

Perkins, my mom has one of those double-mattress Aerobeds, but she also just got a futon for her guest room so I'm not sure she plans on keeping the Aerobed. You want I should ask her about it?

Emily and vw are quite possibly the cutest roommates ever, with pets to match.

Hec and I also have broken the no-nookie-till-Gus-returns vow. We would plead ignorance were it not for the inconvenient fact that knowing about the vow wouldn't have made a damn bit of difference.

Sure. Thanks!

t is, as always, so happy to see Nilly still swouncing

Perkins, I'l check with her today.

Everyone is still asleep chez Zmayhem. Time to start the coffee. I feel worse for Emmett about not getting to eat breakfast than about the procedure -- my guess is that he'll never remember his ten doped-up minutes in the doctor's office, but he'll never forget, and long resent, having to fast all morning before. Last night when he was dawdling over his pizza, all any grown-up had to say was "Remember you only have until midnight" and he'd lunge at the pizza like a starving wolf falling on a nest of baby rabbits.

t What's with the waving?

I actually think it's great that the only thing Emmett gets to worry about is the lack of breakfast. Let the grownups worry about the actually worrisome details - he'll have enough to worry about as a grownup himself, I guess.

(JZ, I didn't even remember that it was still my tagline).

OK, maybe that's not enough for a sitcom - they might need a trash-talkin' penguin.

It'll get killed in the ratings by Jesus/Hitler/Elvis sitcom. As it should.

Timelies. There's a strange glowy orb in the sky, and the sky itself is mostly unbroken, very unfamiliar shade of blue. What strange events do these signs portend?

Hey, Frank -- your current tagline ( I'm going to cut the soles off my shoes, sit in a tree, and learn to play the flute! ) is a soundbite that one of the KDSK DJs runs every once in a while. Who is it and where is it from?

Rrrarrgh!!

New ownership has begun making changes. There is a man here today who arrived without warning to interview IT staff. He has a form. It will take at least an hour each. Boss is heading into the breach first, but I am tired and cranky and I have a ton of work to do, and I don't wanna. t /tantrum
