He is. He's got a dozen or so white hairs on his chest. I just got him this week. He's 10 and a bit, well, fat, and a total sweetheart. His old people called him "Fat Boy", which just will not do.

Yay, bookstores! Not any other comment, really. Just sort of a truism.

Oof, ita. Being off-schedule isn't fun in the best of circumstances, and I can't imagine being up at night in a hospital would be better.

You could call him "Winston" or maybe "Alfred" or "Hitchcock," if you want to continue the reference to his girth and age. And, go you for adopting an older cat!!

Amarna also has the stray white hair on her chest; actually, it's only one white hair, right smack between her front legs.

Hi ita! I'm sorry you are stuck in the hospital, but at least there's less hurting.

I just found out that next weekend is teacher discount weekend at Borders. 25% off all purchases, school and personal. Whoo!

It kinda bums me that I'm not considered a teacher, by teacher they mean K-12. I feel like since I teach and since I actually earn less than most teachers who've been teaching for as long as I have, I should qualify for teacher discounts. I'd certainly buy more books if they gave it to me.

"Overheard Everywhere" seems to include a couple of made-for-the-buffistas conversations.

Professor: I've decided to move the midterm to next week, because apparently we are missing a substantial amount of Jews.

Student to friend: Holy crap! Passover just saved my ass!

Girlfriend pointing at guy in kilt: Look, he's wearing a skirt! What a freak!

Boyfriend, releasing her hand: That's a kilt. I'm Scottish. Fuck you!

You could call him Oppenheimer.

And I went straight to Slim. (eta - oooh, Oppenheimer is good!)

They say I can leave tomorrow if my head isn't hurting.

Um. Hm.

Head not hurting is a good goal. I hope they help you out with that.

Burrell, he just answered to that. Well, once, at least. I have the sliding door open, so there's outside to be stared at through the screen.

I have also discovered that I can bake individual cookies in my toaster oven.

I have become obsessed with reading beauty product reviews at this site: [link]

I don't remember how to do fancy link things. I haven't been here in a long time, people.

That totally rocks.

Installed a lot of pulls on cabinet doors in the new house and accepted delivery on our new couch, which looks great! Then, on the way home there was a gigantic rainbow--one of the best ones I have ever seen. People were stopping to take pictures with their cellphones, that's how awesome it was. I took it to mean that we will be very happy in our new house. Now DH and i are going out to dinner for date night, before he goes away on business for a week.
