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

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.

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

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

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.

Someone explain to me how two pairs of pants from the same brand and style can fit me in different sizes.

Were they purchased from Old Navy cause they are notorious for that shit? i've had the exact same style, color and brand fit differently for the reasons, I think, Sean stated.

Mmmmm... fruit salad. My friend Rachel made a Watermelon salad. It looks good except it has the forbidden cilantro on it. And it's made of watermelon which I think is ick.

Also meant to say,

Jesse, I totally would love for you to live here, but not just for the game show possibililties (though I know you aren't leaving NY). But if you left New York, you'd never have a shot at Cash Cab.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

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.

My mom's second childcat and our office mascot rabbit both do this.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

But if you left New York, you'd never have a shot at Cash Cab.

Heh. True.

I just noticed my cat licking his arm while being scratched by his tail, but I don't think that's the exclusive spot he licks when being scratched like that.
