Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Earplugs are wonderful things. I can't stand noise.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I have a random question for those of you with cats. When you scratch your cats on their lower backs, do they start licking their chest? Both of my current cats do every time, as if it's an instinctive response but I can't remember any of my previous cats doing so.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

I don't recall that specific one, but all my cats or dogs have had spots that scratching triggered kicking a certain leg or lip-licking or something. I think it's more a reflex than anything.

Jack doesn't, but Trouble does. She also does the kicking thing if you get a certain spot on her side, so if you can manage both spots simultaneously? Hilarity.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Yeah, I've seen this compulsive licking behavior too.

Thanks Brenda and Polgara!

I will have to see if Perkins has another spot so I can laugh at him more. Not that I need a reason, since he looks like a block head doll already.

Next random question. If you alphabetize your CDs by artist name, should Led Zeppelin go under L or Z?

Dog is my co-pilot.

If you alphabetize your CDs by artist name, should Led Zeppelin go under L or Z?

L because it's a band name and not the name of an individual. If it's the name of a person, it goes under the first letter of their last name (unless, of course, they don't use one.)

That's what I thought too. It would have fit better in the Zs though, space wise.

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

Whew. Just made two Cook's Illustrated fruit salads. Which, being CI, never simple. One's in a cardamom champagne reduction, and the other's in a red wine balsamic vinegar reduction.

They're very pretty.

Also...warm. And my ride arrives in ten minutes. Maybe I can refrigerate them at our destination.
