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

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

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.

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?

I am back at work after my two weeks off and I don't much care for it. Phooey.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
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.

Ugh. Associates are already being stupid.

Hope everything went (or is going) well, msbelle! And that mac's calmness continues.
I managed my first early wake up today pretty well. I'm trying to train myself to get up earlier because next Sunday is the Disney marathon (which I'm going to do as much of as I can) and we have to be at the race start at like 4 a.m. yikes! So, up by 6ish and either walking or going to yoga every morning this week for me.

I have only fed my cats food bought at the vet, but I am a little skeptical that it's any better than grocery store food. A lot of them are made by the same contractor which came out in the melamine incident two years ago. That said, they still get the Hills prescription brand. W/d, which is for weight control, and T/D which is for tartar control. (My cats have never had a tartar problem, or required a cleaning.)

Sparky, thanks! I'll probably reply from home tonight.
2008 keeps on giving. I got (rightfully) called out for something I totally forgot to do before I left for vacation. Now, given what that week was like, even if I remembered, I probably wouldn't have gotten it done (there was a lot of stuff in a similar vein that got jettisoned that week.) But ahrg. I hate stupid mistakes like that.
