Oh, Amarna had the Crazy Eyes going even after I snapped her out of stalking my forearm. She went on a racing tear around the apartment, ending with her landing on "her" plastic bag and looking at me with the ears pinned back and the wild look of "WAAAAAHHHHOOOOO!" She calmed down a few minutes later though, and decided to zonk out in the bedroom.
ION, did anyone else see Keith Olbermann bitch-slap Bill O'Reilly last night? I was watching the 11:00 rerun, and thought at first it would be his usual rather jokey BO'R rant, but he was furious and let Falafel have it with both barrels. As someone said in the C&L comments, by the end of the segment, Olbermann's voice "could freeze vodka."
OTOH, I think it's safe to say our 3 will never get together for nefarious plots. Max and Teddy don't get along too well. Teddy's too timid to plot. And Max would be turned about 30 seconds after you started petting him.
I could see Marie plotting. As long as she looked good while carrying it out.
Hey, bon bon. I have a question for bob bob. I was talking to a friend the other day about how one of my bigger college regrets is that I didn't pay better attention in my philosophy class, that I didn't try to get in another class before graduation.
So when I'm finished writing this book, I'd like to take out a book or two and try to gain a better understanding of the things I've forgotten. Basic definitions and examples and such. I thought to ask if bob bob had any recommendations. I'd need a sort of Philosophy for Idgits primer and then something that appliesbasic knowledge, if that makes any sense. Think he could help?
Oh, you definitely came to the right place, Allyson. I'll get him.
Not bon bon or bob bob, but there actually
is
a Complete Idiot's Guide to Philosophy:

I hear it's good.
The only sort of philosophy book I own and understand is Zen and the Art...which I adore. I think because of the narrative and the idea that he's making himself nuts thinking about it.
Do you think you want another narrative? I'm not sure I know of one that comprehensively looks at all of the major philosophers.
Amazon suggested a few others that look good:

One thing I keep reading is that
Philosophy for Dummies
is not great--biased rather than inclusive.
I'd be interested to know what bob bob thinks of Sophie's World.
You know, Sean, even when they fluff up their fur they are quite a bit smaller than you.
SHUT UP! He was all intimidating and stuf.. SHUT UP!
Plus, I was mostly naked at the time, because I like to skivvie about in my skivvies, too.

And he's pointy on five of his six ends.! He could have done something to my precious, delicate skin!
SHUT UP!
My cat is currently too hot for nefarious plots. He's been either flat on the floor or under my bed for the past couple of days.
Ours is just so blissfully happy to see us, what with us having gone on TWO four-day long trips in the last two weeks, all he wants to do is lie either directly in front of the front door, or on top of us, to prevent us from leaving again. It's adorable.
When we just had one cat, we would make him chase the laser pointer until he was exhausted.
We play "fetch the mouse." He has a whole collection of fuzzy mouse toys, and likes to chase after them when they're thrown, bring them back, and wait for us to throw them again. This game is made even more hilarious for all involved by our hardwood floors and slidey rugs.
