It's funny to me that cats, with their standoffish reputation, seem to make good companions with primates. I include myself in that.

eyes the cat sitting pointedly with her back toward me.

talk to the back.

We get that all the time from Maceo.

Pockets = good, even in formal wear. Who says dressy can't be practical.

Ha - just saw the story [link] that goes with the primate/kitty photo.

It occurs to me that if the cat is an affection slut like Mister Kitty, monkey and orangutan grooming habits are probably high heaven to said cat.

Exactly. See how it works out?

Don't you worry there might be a monkey/cat conspiracy to take over the planet? All cats have been missing are opposable thumbs. All the monkeys have been missing are the devious minds...

Of course there is.

Luckily, we have higher math.

As of August, I'll have been in this apartment for 20 years. Rent control, ahhhh, sweet rent control.

Heh. If I had a rent-controlled apartment where you have yours, I'd be hard-pressed to move, too!

when I say the word "Home" (and in Hebrew, it's the same word for "house", so I like the English distinction between the two better

So the song "A House is Not A Home" wouldn't really translate, would it?

Because we only pay $895/mo for a 2BR, 1BA duplex house with fenced back yard and half a two-car garage. Can't ever move.

Please tell me you live in, like, the worst neighborhood in LA. Or 50 miles from anything neat. Or something. Damn!

Wi fi cups of lurve.

I can't decide if those are creepy, or just lame.

But a habanero chocolate followed by a fig chocolate could be used as foreplay credit.

Ooh. t makes note

There is no witty dialogue. I think this is the part where I get out the implements of pain

I gotta say, I like ita when she's scary. As long as she's not talking to *me*.

I am pro-pockets, even in ballgowns. NSM in something that is slinky and satin and bias-cut, or anything, but in the gowns Sandra Bullock and Amy Adams were wearing, they were great, and if they didn't have their hands in the pockets, you wouldn't have known they were there. I'm all for that. I mean, lines are all well and good, but let's hear it for having a place to put at least some cash and a credit card or ID!

I'm kinda pro a monkey/cat conspiracy. It would be SO CUTE!

lori, I have to admit something horrible.

Ever since I heard that "I am an engineer/Respect mah mind" rap, I keep envisioning you doing a version of it. And giggling madly. I am so sorry. You can crash a satellite into me, promise. As long as you take care of my cats.
