A morning Haiku.

Cat love is
Purring on my chest
Falls asleep.

Another

Cat head bump
wake up wake up now
please feed me

Gronk is here
Sentences too short
good for haiku

Leg cramp again
Up too early, now
back to sleep

hee ... so far this morning I've seen discussions of hair, haikus, and heresy (sorry, wanted to stick with the alliteration).

Vortex, I can sympathize - my mother tries to be a black hole, sucking in all the emotion and support in the universe. All I can suggest is to resist the manipulation and stick to your limits. And she'll keep demanding and trying to manipulate you - but all you can do is resist (reistance is NOT futile).

For the "washed in the blood" (sometimes they tack on "of the Lamb") - I think it does mean that you've accepted Jesus as your personal Savior, more than just the baptism with water. (On the lighter side, having come from a non- if not anti-religious family, my joining a church and getting baptized had my mother and sister quite upset.)

And yay omnis for the date! yay Shir's sister!

Computer ready
Oh, no! Cat jumps onto chest
Busy now, petting

I don't think you should get credit for writing poetry there, Daniel. That's how you talk when you're all engronkified.

The man falls asleep on the sofa because the cat is snuggled up on him, then wonders why his muscles aren't thrilled about it.

And you thought northerners driving on ice was craxy: [link]

So, a friend linked me to a blog about an incident on his campus. I couldn't get a read on the blogger, so I clicked on the "Ann Coulter" link on the side, thinking that it was a tag, and would take me to blogs about her, so I could get a sense of his views. Big mistake, took me to her site (which answered my question about his views)

I could not help but read today's blog, akin to having to look when driving by an accident.She says this:

Throughout Obama's entire life, doors were opened for him, his college applications smiled upon and favors bestowed simply because he is black -- the original victim category in America. Being black is the highest victim caste because of blacks' authentic victimhood: The nation once tolerated slavery and Jim Crow.

But would she say the same thing about Clarence Thomas? Who has a far less stellar academic record than Obama? I think not. BUSTED, HYPOCRITES.

Ah, but you have to understand that Ann Coulter lives in a universe all her own, in which Obama really is the recipient of unearned privilege, Clarence Thomas is a hard-working person who rose above the typical feelings of entitlement, and whites are the oppressed underdog of the country. Sure, in OUR world she comes off as crazy, but that's because we don't realize that she's talking to us through a rip in the cosmos.

Stayed home form work yesterday due to a fever and a non-migraine headache from hell.

Woke up feeling ok this morning, so I dragged my tush to work and now the headache is creeping back. I cannot brane.
