Too Long In LA.

Sadly, I've just learned that I've been in LA too long because I thought that was not only affordable, but downright cheap.

ETA: Even reading all the white font, I'm not really sure who won much of anything at the Emmys.

Alibelle is me. That place would easily go for 1.2 mil in this area (more depending on the neighborhood).

I am never going to own property again, am I? Sigh. I need to keep reminding myself that I really love living here in the winter, because I'm missing autumn and affordable housing right now.

Sigh. I see I just missed Alibelle, which is a dud because I miss Alibelle.

I worked on one movie with Roscoe Lee Brown and I used to bump into him at a lot of my regular bars when I lived in Burbank. I didn't know he was gone.

Hi, Burrell!

I had to go make dinner, and then play with this DARNED CAT TOY. It's this fluffy purple ball with a bell hanging off a stick by some red elastic string. I had hidden it, because I was so very tired of playing with it. It is April's, by far, most beloved toy. She has found it, and she has made up for her lack of getting to play with it for three months WITH A VENGEANCE. We played with it for 6 hours last Saturday! 6! 3 hours last Sunday. At least an hour and a half every day of the week. 2 hours yesterday. An hour tonight. I have developed such hate for this toy. My arms just might fall off after waving it around one more time. And I can't escape it. She watches it like a hawk, so I can't hide it again. She sleeps on top of it. And when she thinks I need something to do, she follows me around with it, holding the stick in her mouth and dragging the little ball thing behind her. And she just talks, incessantly, both to it and about it to me. I really dislike this toy. It has turned my sweetheart lap kitten into a holy terror. Between this darned toy and Jossey's "funny" new habit of biting my Achilles tendon when I least suspect, I might have to rethink my position on cats.

Of course, I look up after writing this diatribe against them to see that they have both come to curl up at my feet, April with her beloved toy, and Jossey with yesterday's left sock clutched to his face, and they are happily purring and drifting towards a nap. Darn them for being so cute.

Skipping to post that, according to the Buffista Calendar, today is Lee's birthday.

Happy birthday, Lee! With lots of wishes for a great day and a wonderful year!

Also, 5 years ago? The Phoenix Board went live.

Happy birthday Lee!

Happy Birthday Phoenix!

Wow, I faded at just ten minutes before the Emmies ended -- my timing sucks! At least the show that won is one that I've never watched.

Though, letting the credits run on the DVR reveals that somebody on the production got an "Overall Smartypants" credit.

Hippo Birdies, Lee!
