Art Crawl!!!

I've made breakfast and while I think I'll only be getting some of those errands done (I may have to do some today and some tomorrow) - I do feel better. Now, I need to wash out a mug (I can't believe that ALL of my mugs are dirty) so I can have some tea.

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

It is the 50th birthday for The Cat in the Hat. [link]

In “The Annotated Cat: Under the Hats of Seuss and His Cats,” Philip Nel gives us a better grip on just why Dr. Seuss has so thoroughly captured the imaginations of several generations of readers—and the imaginations of their parents

Huh - it took Seuss a year and a half to write it.

But this is cool:

To honor “The Cat in the Hat’s” 50th birthday, send him an e-mail birthday card. For every card the cat gets, Random House will donate a new book to First Book, a nonprofit organization that promotes reading in low-income communities. Since it was founded in 1992, First Book has distributed more than 40 million books to young readers in 1,300 communities around the country. To send a card, go to www.seussville.com/CITH_50th/. Cards must be received by May 1.

Random House will also donate a new book to First Book for every copy of any Dr. Seuss book it sells before May 1. For more details, go to www.catinthehat.com.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

NBA all star weekend in Vegas

Last time I went to an All Star weekend, I ended up cavorting with a member of *NSYNC. I have sworn off such shenanigans, so am content to stay home.

Knocked myself properly loopy with meds, and slept quite a while. Migraine's only mild this morning.

Aimee's link made me feel bad for J-Lo and smile with David Hasselhoff.

I knew Philip Nel, author of the annotated Cat in the Hat, in high school.

I have a rental. The whole neighbor thing was pretty much solved by no one being home and me needing to get this squared away before noon today. Of course, then I asked another neighbor to drive me TO the rental place because they (rental) were short handed and couldn't deliver. But they will pick up the car. So that's good. Enterprise couldn't guarantee me a car by the end of the day so I went with the local place. It's $30/day, flat, but... Enterprise, if they had a car, could only knock it down to $28. Boo holiday weekend. So I have a nice little gray civic.

I need to get a little plant or something for the neighbor who drove me.

Also? I think the rental place is the most "inspirational" rental car company ever. I wasn't prosel...prosele...I can't spell that right now.... to so much as God and faith managed to work its way into every part of the conversation. And the posters on the walls. Which....weird, but the guys were really nice and it was about them,so. But anyway. It is in a storefront with a church.

Oh, and my neighbor invited me to her church. Um. Basically, renting a car became a religious experience.

OK, I need to eat, and then go run the errands for which I am renting a car.
