I agree - the ABC coverage sucked. And they took stuff that was on the ESPN coverage and just repeated it. What's up with that?

The Acorn Rocked.

Plus, the Belmont: love that the Bird Boys boy did so well. Clearly, everyone was right when they said that Borell should have ridden over the track before hand. Also, Mine that Bird did seem ranker than at the Preakness. (Can't speak to the Derby since he pretty much didn't get covered at the Derby.)

But, it pleases me that Birdstone's babies are doing so well.

It also pleases me that Summer Bird is a homebred and that his owner/breeders are pretty small time. You know, compared to, for example, the rulers of Dubai.

Did I mention I just put out diatom Friday night? Ook.

am very excited that you have your washer/dryer.

Just watched the Tivo'd race, which I enjoyed, so thanks for the whitefont.

Now watching the Tivo'd hockey game. And then I'll watch Tivo'd Torchwood. I love Tivo.

Not like how I feel about Tino.

Our friend's cat, whom we used to call the FU cat because of his general state of being, used to get the lion's cut every summer, whereupon he became very briefly cuddly because he was cold. Hee.

I just washed a bunch of shoes. (Not because I now have a washer and dryer, they were due. )

You'd so laugh if you saw the contraption I use to vent it out the window. RIght now just foam board, but I'll use that as a template to do it in wood (maybe ask my neighbor or pay someone) for a more permanent solution.

This is a kinda funny LOL cat: [link]

Wirebrush kitties!

OK, just found a flat squashed roach ON MY FUTON UNDER ME. NOT ON.

Again, glad they are dying. BUT NOT INSIDE.

I have to say, this is desensitizing me. No mommy or daddy to rescue me. But OMGWTF still hates them. Now to douse the kitchen baseboards....

I found a dead roach under the sink, but so far so good. Besides all the other bugs flying in because I leave the front door wide open and the screen is off the dining room window so the cats can come and go when the front door is closed.

Neighbors are super awesome. They gave me beers and fed me dumplings on their tiki torch lit patio.

Their daughter gave me a tour of the house and my cute little apartment looks so dismal in comparison. And I wanted to smack her when she bemoaned the lack of two sinks in the master bath, because, hey, who they heck puts in a bathroom without the natural minimum of TWO SINKS. Culture shock.

She's twelve, I hate her (she's adorable, but she's a spoiled fucking brat, and there might be more than a correlation there).
