From I Can Has Cheezeburger? a link to a YouTube short woth watching:

Meet Charley -- a very cute cat with cerebellar hypoplasia. he's ok, however his motor skills don't work properly. if your animal shows these symptoms like Charlie, ask your vet for more info!

And? Be prepared for your allergies to act up.

She has a two bedroom apartment in a converted Victorian. The neighborhood is good, the price is pretty good. And, I know the landlord! Hmmm.

I have my fingers crossed for you!

Aimee! Squee. Much house~ma to you and MM. That would be awesome. Certainly an advantage to working for a real estate broker dude. First dibs on cool places.

Not watching. Maybe later. I can't do allergies right now.

Yay Aimee! Out would be a good thing.

Drew's reminding me of that butter commercial from the early nineties with the bread doing a very dirty tango with the knife and ending up...buttered. Might have just been in Canada.

Goth enough for you, Jilli?

Niiiiice. I need to do a photo shoot in a place like that.

Aimee, the apartment sounds great, I hope you guys can get it.

Niiiiice. I need to do a photo shoot in a place like that.

Are there any abandoned mental hospitals in Seattle? How about smallpox hospitals?

How about smallpox hospitals?

TB hospitals would be even more goth.

TB hospitals would be even more goth.

Sanitariums. Fair point, though.

Mental hospitals are gothiest. The one I found in Rochester Northampton had rooms that were all scratched to shit on the inside, probably by fingernails.

Oh, Aimee, that sounds great!

Very cool photograph. [eta the Manhattan one. The scratched up room is too creepy for me]

askye, in my experience (and this is from a while ago, so have a nice pile of salt with it), retail work and receptioning are not very far off from one another in pay. I have twice left office jobs to work retail, once with a significant cut in pay, and once with a small cut in pay, and both times was much happier in the retail job. And I wasn't even in management.
