I'm so sorry, but if it makes you feel any better, my fun-time-Buffy party night involved watching a robot throw Spike through a window, so if you want to trade... no wait, I wouldn't give up that memory for anything.

Hee. Thanks, Nilly—I forwarded the xkcd comic to a friend of mine who's a serious Serenity fan, but otherwise not very much into onine culture.

Much calm~ma and no-big-thing~ma to Msbelle and Mac.

Goodness my shoulders ache today. I spent a goodly chunk of yesterday rearranging my living room, including shifting all the furniture and electronics, and today my body's registering a complaint or 50. But my upstairs neighbor is getting a shiny new TV and handing down her current one to me. It's still crt (hence the need to shift furniture), but it's nearly twice the screen size of my current one. We just have to get it down the stairs.

And my landlord OKed me getting a cat, so yay!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That comic is awesome.

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

I love that it gives the weight of a cat both with and without caption.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

Yay future cat and Calli!

And OMG of the day: one of my freaking world-known-professors recognizes me. I ran into him today and he said hey. And I only approached him to talk after class twice. Big wow.

(... I'm impressed by academic skills. However, very unimpressed by the technical skills of the computer farm I'm typing from right now (AINFG). The ink ran out when I printed something earlier, and now there's a tech problem preventing me from printing. Dude. Not cool).

Also, very very tired. For it was a Monday, and the Gronk (also, to my typing skills, known as fring) was mighty. And the slithy toves did gyre and gimble in the wabe.

Now tagless for your comfort.

But it just felt so good to be able to say that, to know that my back is so thoroughly covered, I wanted to thank you guys.

I also love that buffistas comfy blanket feeling.

xkcd is the bestest.

I hope things are going well for msbelle.

Happy Perihelion! (When the Sun is closest to the Earth.)

Yes, but that pesky winter-tilty thing means it's still cold.

The kids and I are eating cinnamon toast for breakfast.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Mmmmmmm, lobsters.

So, at the risk of en-cat-enating Natter unduly, are there any hivemind recs. on cat food? Anything I should stay away from? My family fed a cat for 20+ years on Purina (plus whatever I shared with him while watching cartoons), but if there's been great leaps in cat feeding science since 1993 it would be great to know about it.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Ugh. Associates are already being stupid.
