I hesitate to interrupt all the porning.
But Teddy got through his re-transplant surgery okay. He was walking around the cage in ICU this evening, which is a good sign. Hubs and his sister may be able to visit him briefly tomorrow. Sister's daughter and I will head up on Saturday, and I'll stay for the Veterans' Day holiday weekend. And possibly an extra day or so -- no decisions on that yet.
This time, the donor was Seamus, a large orange kitty. I haven't met him individually, but Hubs and his sister tell me that he is a combination bundle of love and eating machine. He weighs almost 19 pounds. He and Rigatoni apparently were close friends in the donor colony.
Rigatoni is settling in nicely. He's met Max and Marie a couple of times, briefly. There's been a little sniffing, a little hissing. And Marie has hid under the bed, twice.
We've learned some about the backgrounds of Rigatoni and Seamus. Rigatoni is what is called a "purpose-bred cat." The purpose being to be an experimental subject. He apparently was in at least one experiment, which led to his tail being shortened by a good deal. (I don't know the details of the experiment, and I don't want to.)
Seamus was dropped off at a local animal shelter, and nobody wanted to adopt him.
In both cases, Penn took them as kidney donors. Otherwise, they'd have been put to sleep. So when I worry about the ethics of putting them through the surgery without any real consent from them, I remind myself that they're getting a good home out of the deal.
Hey! Maybe there will be a Bunny Slounge.
Isn't there a picture of shrift in bunny ears, slounging? In fact, I have just uploaded one to flickr in case anyone needed one...
Meara wins a prize for that link!
Shrift must get the job!
t facepalm
I'm not entirely sure why it's so hilarious, but maybe it's because one doesn't normally get free porn with job interview.
Pretty much exactly that. It's the Christmas issue with Kim Kardashian, and I think the only reason I know who that is is from Go Fug Yourself.
I need to e-mail a thank you. Roommate has suggested I send an actual thank you note on paper, but I am ambivalent on that.
Send them the pic, shrift!
Sorry, that's too apropos.
I am suddenly taken with the idea of wearing this to the krav holiday party, but I don't need new dresses, and that's just me acting out. And then there's this which has even less justification.
I feel so un-LA. I left my car at krav last night, cabbed it to the ER, cabbed it home, bussed to and from work, and then wasn't able to catch the anticipated ride to krav to pick it back up again.
Which means not much more than bussing again tomorrow and maybe walking to krav. But it feels like it's against all the rules.

I have that. Works better with petticoats. And comfier than you'd expect for a vinyl ballgown too.
ita, if you decide you DO need a vinyl ballgown, let me know. I'm sure I can find one for far less than Pyramid Collection wants.

Ahahaha! Only reason I know the person is also from GFY. She wore something really tight recently. And, um, good luck, more money and better bennies, shrift! Which reminds me, I need to set up my FSA in the next few days.
So... how much should I bank for at worst, 4 crowns? Insurance is claiming at around $2.2K but I can barely make sense of their statements and the prep-work started this year.
I SUCK at being a grown up.
shrift, I was told it's totally a good idea to send an email thanks and follow it up with a written one. That way the snailmail one arrives a day or two later and they remember you better for it.
Not much of anything happening here tonight, but things have been on the busy side of late anyway!
