Thanks, everyone. I was all set to name my current cat Omar, but there were no black ones and instead of being stealthy, he's all sociable. He has a tail like a raccoon so he's Rocky.

That's Alan Richman. I dated him for a bit a long time ago. He has the distinction of breaking up with me ON MY BIRTHDAY in a freaking restaurant. Because he is a foodie, it was a really GOOD restaurant, but still not a smooth move.
Dag, scrappy! That's cold.
erika, has anyone sent you this ecard yet? [link] I share it here for others who will also appreciate it.
Scrappy! That sucks.
I got broken up with on Valentine's Day at Mexico City restaurant (is it still there, LA'istas??). So I only got a consolation burrito!
Happiest of Birthdays, Erika!!
My mother called me recently at 6 AM (her time). I was awake (packing) and immediately answered the phone with, "What's wrong?" (I always assume when my phone rings that early that someone is dead.)
She had called me by accident and was mortified.
- love* that e-card.
When I first moved into my current apartment, every Wednesday morning at some ridiculously early hour - 5:30 maybe - the phone would ring and it would be an older woman asking for "Geraldine". I'd answer the phone and tell her she had a wrong number ... and the next Wednesday, same thing. Until I finally - after a month? six weeks? something like that - I told her it was early, that I'd been asleep, and would she PLEASE check the number before dialing.

Hm... I got broken up with by note. Left on my coffee table. Then picked up because he realized how asshattish it was. However, he still gave me the breakup note and sat there while I read it.
He's gained weight and is a suburban daddy with four kids and a PT Cruiser he was all hot to have pinstriped (this was Mr. Theatre Rebel, I'm Never Having Kids Because I Must Focus on My Art)
Shallow., but I feel better about having escaped.
