Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Our receptionist charged into the office this morning, full of details about how "her girl" (a dog) "had become a woman" (gone into heat). It was way too early for those details.

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

I just spent the last half-hour cleaning and vacuuming my desk and the surrounding area. It's amazing how those little pieces of glass found their way all over the place. I had to vacuum glass out of my keyboard!

Now I can actually sit at my desk and, you know, do stuff. As soon as I tape some cardboard over the broken panes....

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

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.

That is an awful lot of pussy for a couple of gay guys.

(I'm sorry, but someone had to say it)

Best wishes to Teddy! Congratulations to Rigatoni and Seamus for having a wonderful new home. Max and Marie, relax! It'll all be fine!!!!!

He and Rigatoni apparently were close friends in the donor colony.

I'm imagining The Island if it'd worked this way.

Paying for yesterday's porn adventure by feeling a cold coming on and having a crapload of really boring work to do. Woo. Woo, I say.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

God, shrift. Every day can't be free porn day.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Well, ita, I guess you don't need to know that Playboy has an L.A. office, do you.

What are people doing for lunch?

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Wondering what I should do for lunch.
