Actually, I was thinking it would be sort of like a pet. You know, we could...we could name her Trixie, or Miss Kitty Fantastico, or something.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

No, I just mean in general.

Best to cautiously avoid grammer I think. Something many of my sentences do as well.

I swear my diabetic cat now wakes me up to give him his shot. He is totally an insulin addict!

I have the same phenomenon. He'll even try a dig-in-front-of-litterbox routine that usually shoots me awake. We're still dealing with issues because he's gaining weight still from the mystery illness, which means more med adjustment, but... whatever.

I'm really glad I didn't stand up before I discovered my wrap skirt's inside button had unbuttoned. That could have been bad.

I have a job title now. It's the closest we could find to "knows stuff and answers questions."

Off to read.

Newp, research associate professional. It's corpo-speak for knows stuff and answers questions. It blathers on about marketing, vendors and other such crap that I don't do, but it had the highest number of phrases that resemble my work. Which even I'm hard pressed to describe.

W's behavior at the G8 summit is really starting to worry me.

But look at the way he delivers the set-up for Putin's punchline.

During a joint news conference Saturday in St. Petersburg, Bush said he raised concerns about democracy in Russia during a frank discussion with the Russian leader.

"I talked about my desire to promote institutional change in parts of the world, like Iraq where there's a free press and free religion, and I told him that a lot of people in our country would hope that Russia would do the same," Bush said.

To that, Putin replied, "We certainly would not want to have the same kind of democracy that they have in Iraq, quite honestly."

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

ConEd wants my building to turn off all unnecessary appliances. I would like to extend this definition to my desktop. If there's a blackout I can go home early!

What the hell does that mean? I don't really have anything unnecessary in my office. I could unplug the CLOCK, I suppose, but not sure how that would help.
