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

I can't write "Thirty two dollars and seventy six cents", because then it would be "Thirty two dollars and seventy six cents dollars". It's "Thirty two and 76/100 dollars".

What I do is write "thirty eight dollars and 50 cents" and then trail a line through the rest of that space that kinda crosses out the printed "dollars" when need be.

I just turned my TV on to TMZ. Is that papparazzi TV? It looked like its only function. Made me not proud of my species. Must change away.

Now I embark upon cereal research. I'm going to try giving up wheat for a while, and I need to see what that will do to my breakfast. I vaguely remember a time before the internet. Very vaguely. How horrible.

My cheques have the /100 at the end of the written line.

I have a roll of IR film sitting in my fridge waiting to be used. I just don't have anywhere near dark enough to load and unload it.

Can you load by feel? Under the covers of your bed? Or in a closet?

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

So I was just roasting a steak, in a way that is supposed to cut down on the smoke produced b/c I don't have great ventilation, and I think someone called the FDNY. They came to the building but maybe didn't figure out it was me. I opened the windows and turned off the stove and now the steak is just sitting in there. But come on. It smells like steak, not smoke!

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

My cat has long hair. Sometimes she gets bits of cat poo stuck in her fur by her butt. What should I do?

Because books.

That used to happen to our Puck, tommy, when he was sick, usually, and having really loose poops. If she can't clean, you have to, or she might start dragging her butt on the floor. It's not (or never was for us) a one-person job, though.

I am so sorry scrappy. My thoughts are with you and your family.

Have I posted this before? [link] Upsode-down coffee cups, pots, etc.

Oh, you so had a hairless/ hair impaired cat before, tommy! In any case, it's sort of a hazard of some longhairs even when they are healthy. You can always shave/ clip her butt.

Good luck! (snorking heartily. As someone victim to too much poo considering she doesn't have kids.)

Martha Stewart had a segment on her show today about medicating pets.

Yeah, I was thinking of getting a hairless or Rex-ish kitty, but then this poor kitty was not getting along with her housemate kitty Einstein (who had not inherited his namesake's pacific tendencies)....
