I just had to explain to my 8th-graders today what Armenian means so we could watch a bit about tensions between Armenian and Hispanic students in, I think, LA.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Only three more hours for me.

The next time someone in a tank top and cutoff shorts tell me it is too cold in the theatre I am going to give them a sweater out of the lost and found.

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

Anyone about?

I just got back from the kitty emergency hospital place....

Oh, no, tommy. What happened?

Ohh poor kitty! Did you bring him a blanket or something familiar from home to spend the night with him or is he totally out of it?

I posted in Beep Me - they've discovered that he's diabetic.

It was the freakiest thing - he seemed OK when I left around 7:30. When I got back at 10:30, I opened the door and discovered something was blocking it. It was Senor Sock (my kitty) - he was lying in front of the door and it seemed he was unable to move. He could turn his head but that was about it.

Oh, it didn't occur to me to bring something he was familiar with. He was pretty out of it when we left to the vet. He's slightly less out of it now. They gave him a little terrycloth doll that he's hugging in his incubator.

Oh, and then my friend Miriam came out to the animal hospital. Then as we're leaving, we discover she can't get her car started. Her new Prius, which she's owned for about 6 hours. She was pretty sure she was doing something wrong. So I drove her back to her place so she could pick up the owner's manual. When we got back to the hospital she got it started without a problem - turns out she was pressing the 'Start' button wrong or something. It was somewhat amusing to me that problems with her brand new, high-mileage car resulted in me driving her around in my 35 year old gas hog....

I have a bad case of Prius envy.
