I'm a latent perfectionist. Makes this hard. And I kinda don't like admitting I have no clue, though I do when I can't suss it out on my own.

This is me, and with the flailing around feeling clueless and ineffective in my new role here at rocketworld. It's hard!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Speaking of rocketworld, did you get my email?

lori, not that this makes flailing any better, but my VIP astronaut found your name familiar. Which was funny. Small business we're in (he's looking at our Mars obsv to repeat as moon obsv and is a total fangeek of this shit.) He also knew my dad's fascility.

But yeah, flailing. Lots of it. And I don't even have minions, dangit! Yay new roles? I mean, YAY new roles!

Ah well, I can impress the nephews with the cool things people I've met do. Somedays, that's enough.

Jesse - I did, I flaked. Will respond.

sara - Wha? Knew my name? Who was it?

No rush -- I've just noticed a lot of actual email in my spam folder lately, but half the time I still just delete it without looking.

Evenings people! The insomnia has got to stop... I spent a second day half dead and plodding away at my computer. Complete and utter suckage.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Hey Lori, what's this about a new role? I musta missed something.

I just played my first game of this Scrabulous of which you all speak. Got my ass kicked, but by a nice enough person. Problem is, I play Scrabble slowly, and the timer stresses me out, man. I doubt I could play a decent game in less than fifteen minutes. But still - online Scrabble! Fun!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Tiger Mommy

In a zoo in California , a mother tiger gave birth to a rare set of triplet tiger cubs. Unfortunately, due to complications in the pregnancy, the cubs were born prematurely and due to their tiny size, they died shortly after birth.

The mother tiger after recovering from the delivery, suddenly started to decline in health, although physically she was fine. The veterinarians felt that the loss of her litter had caused the tigress to fall into a depression.

The doctors decided that if the tigress could surrogate another mother's cubs, perhaps she would improve. After checking with many other zoos across the country, the depressing news was that there were no tiger cubs of the right age to introduce to the mourning mother.

The veter inarians decided to try something that had never been tried in a zoo environment. Sometimes a mother of one species will take on the care of a different species. The only orphans" that could be found quickly, were a litter of weaner pigs. The zoo keepers and vets wrapped the piglets in tiger skin and placed the babies around the mother tiger.

Check out the pictures.
