Oh, and - I'm back from the Old City tour. Finding Via Dolorosa is a nightmare, but then, in one of the streets, there was an Armenian ceramic shop. I talked with the store owner for about 30 minutes, while my mom was picking goods. The man wants to make me his apprentice, and one of these days, I might take his offer.

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.
This morning I find I prefer 'Horatio' for a possible cat name. Or possibly, Spartacus.
Did I mention here I was astounded to find out that my local vet has three other Chumleys in their patient database? Versus however many more Spots and Blackies, et cetera, but still, I thought my choice would have been more rare.
In a crossword I was doing the other day, the answer for "common name for a cat" was Cleo, which I wouldn't have necessarily thought of.
My cat's name is Clio. I am a little depressed it's seen as common.
I have to confess, I put Clio in first because of you!
I thought for days about that name! It also took me a while to realize that both my cats' names ended in o. Sometimes I would tangle them all up and call for Clico.
Happy Birthday lori!
Happy Anniversary Plei and Paul!
I'm afraid that I'd end up naming a cat something from the Broadway show, like Rumpleteaser or Grisabella.
Huh, I just realized it's after 9 -- I wonder where my super is. It may turn out to be true that I have to be here all day!
Of course as soon as I typed that, he got here.
I'm always surprised at how few people recognize "Bastet" as a cat name. Or as anything at all, for that matter, but come on -- cat-headed goddess! Anybody?
And apropos of nothing at all: I just managed to watch the Les Misbarak link this morning and now can't get that song out of my head. Plus I keep picturing the guy who did the Jean Valjean part and giggling.
