Speaking of feeding...good heavens!

Over at Cuteoverload, there is a video of a fellow vacuuming his cat...a beachball of a cat. Humongoid. At first, I wondered why the cat wasn't running away...especially after having its ears sucked up...then it occurred to me that the pulchritudinous puss probably prefers to take it rather than expending energy by fleeing.

Sheesh that's a big cat.

Here's some awesome liveblogging of the NBC upfronts by Virginia Heffernan: [link]

My sister once commented how every time she turned on the vacuum the cat would get out of that room and as far away as possible as quickly as she could move. Then she said something about how maybe it was because of the time she sucked the cat's tail into the vacuum. um, yeah.

I watched that cat-being-vacumned video this morning, and it looked like he enjoyed the entire process. He kept squirming around to get more!

My dad used to take the Dustbuster to one of our cats. She loved it. The other one wasn't having any of it.

I'm sure if I tried the attachment on Mister Kitty, he'd let me. Not sure why I never have. This is a cat who LIKES the blow dryer. Does the whole back arch and everything when you point it at him.

I would say that today's Asshat of the Day award goes to the teachers who thought it would be a good idea to stage a gun attack on 11-year-olds.

I'm not clicking. Denial's not a bad place to live. And I need to avoid tension--wanting to kill people I can't even reach is kind of a gimme.

Happy New Nephew, sarameg!!!

I just found out Friday that my SiL, mother of my two nieces extraordinare, is pregnant. Very exciting. Younger niece will be 6 this summer so it's been a while. She's still pretty early on but doing well so far.

What boggles me is that more than one teacher thought it was a good idea....
