Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Holy crap, lisah! That's totally David Bowie, the cat!

Seriously!

Whoo, I'm pretty much taking off at the most inconvenient time ever next week. And I.don't.care.

Good for you! You need the break, and can't your coworker take on the crap this time?

I have actually done some work from home already, so that's good.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Birthday Felicitations, lori!

And Anniversary Felicitations to Plei and Paul!

I'm afraid that I'd end up naming a cat something from the Broadway show, like Rumpleteaser or Grisabella.

Our old Jennycat was actually Jennyanydots--from Old Possum's Book before it was a show on Broadway. Yes, my children, there was a world before Broadways' Cats!

Now tagless for your comfort.

Happy birthday, Lori!

Happy Anniversary, Plei!

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Happy birthday, Lori! And of course you're the answer to everything. Just for this year, though. So after the cake and festivities are over, please go fix the entire world for us before your awesome power passes.

Happy anniversary, Plei and DH!

IIRC, I spent a bit of time pushing Beatrix as a possible name for Matilda, just so we could use the nickname Bix. Hec didn't go for it. It's an excellent cat name, though.

The best-named cats I ever met were tuxedo and tabby littermates whose human named them Alouysius and Sylvester, a.k.a. Wishy and Vesty.

Did I mention here I was astounded to find out that my local vet has three other Chumleys in their patient database?

Maybe you could change yours to the traditional spelling--isn't it some crazy Brit thing like Chomondeley, only pronounced Chumley?

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

There is also, I think, only one cat who could be David Bowie.

Very much so. However, he could not be a Ziggy Stardust. Well, not with out dye and/or makeup.

Ladies, don't use your brains to vote! That's too hard! Decide which candidate you'd rather make a wholesome pie and vote for him!

Ooo, shiny!

After being annoyed by how bad webpages look when printed for about 10 years now, I’ve finally decided to do something about it! PrintWhatYouLike.com is the result. The idea is that you should be able to manipulate pages to make them print as nice as an article printed in a journal. No ads, no half the page taken up by empty space, and no info boxes sitting above the text you are trying to read. Just the stuff you wanted to print.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

My BFF named her cats Bingley and Darcy, or as she calls them, the two gentlemen. Mine are Zorro and Squeaky Fromme. And our dogs are Layla and Truman. I like a name to suit the animal and also have some sort of cultural allusion for my own amusemnet.
