My mouse is being stupid and randomly refusing to go left. Amazing how utterly infuriating that can be. And how damned stubborn I can be.
Is it a mechanical mouse? Those need to be cleaned once in a while.
Atherton: Half the men in this room wish you were on their arm, tonight. Inara: Only half. I must be losing my indefinable allure.

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

NCIS--Huh!
I liked Kate, dammit, but that's an interesting way to take it. At least sexy terrorist was true to himself at the end--I imagine, he struck me as 'I think you're cute, but I'll shoot you dead without a qualm if you get in my way'. He was refreshing.
I'm sure Gibbs was peeved. But Gibbs is always peeved. He was probably peeved that he didn't get to do the deed himself.
How's Ducky? And did Gerald ever come back?

Put your cats to work...oh, you mean your computer mouse!
Oddly enough, my first reaction was to think of a mammal mouse. So I was thinking, "Why won't the mouse go left? Why does sarameg want it to go left? Does left lead to the door? Is she trying to get it to run through a maze?"

Considering the vast majority of my mouse trauma involves the little furry once-breathing kind, I'm not surprised some might have a pause or two to parse that statement.

My mice always go right. That's why I put the mouse traps to the left of the dishwasher, under which they're nesting.

re Kate: The actress apparently wanted off the show, claiming it was too physically demanding. But in exchange we got Ziva, who is kickass.
How's Ducky? And did Gerald ever come back?
Gerald never came back (he has been replaced by a cute if bumbling boy named Palmer), although he did show up in an episode with the sexy terrorist, who used Gerald to lure Ducky into his clutches.
Ducky seems to be hale and hearty, and just got his Masters (I think) in forensic psychology.
Hm. I think I need lunch now.

Would they go left if they were in the Southern Hemisphere?

Oooh, Ducky and the terrorist. That must have been fun. Which season was that so I can track down the DVDs?
