Simon: I'm trying to put this as delicately as I can... How do I know you won't kill me in my sleep? Mal: You don't know me, son. So let me explain this to you once: If I ever kill you, you'll be awake, you'll be facing me, and you'll be armed.

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

If there was a five-minute warning before the Rapture, I'm probably be saying the following to God:

"God, I'm really sorry for all my sins and for not believing in You and what-not. Can you please Rapture me too? Oh wait, one of your followers paid me $110 to take care of his cat when he got Raptured - can I just stay here on Earth for now and repent later?"

Once again, Luna led us a merry chase around the house before we caught her and put her in the carrier.

That's why the first thing I do when I have to take Amarna to the vet is shut the bedroom door (after I make sure she's not in there). Only then do I take the carrier out of the hall closet. That way, she can't hide under the bed. I learned this lesson when I had to take the mattress and box springs off of the bed to get to her a few years back.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

To my vague recollection, the rift between the Seventh Day Adventists and the Baptists from which they sprung was based on just such a warning. The Baptists (I think) said God would give you one last chance and the Adventists were all, "Nope, too late now sucker."

I take the kitty carrier out the night before a vet visit. Then they get their hiding all out of the way and are used to it being out before they are CAGED! Poor kitty friends.

I have that! It takes place in Wicker Park, my old neighborhood.

Haven't finished it, though.

Oh god, I've got to make annual appointments for my 3. I think I may have given away the hard carrier, so will need another...

Got an email response that pretty much has me cracking up everytime I think of it. Walked right into that gutter. God, I never learn.

Must go walk before the weather turns. I may be rained out this weekend; might be time to see about the Y's pool, but I need to get a suit first. The one I have now swims (haha) on me.

I liked it a lot. Weird, good artwork.

Grrr. Every once in a while, usually after a shift at the bookstore, my outer edge of my left foot goes into really annoying and aching spasms that can last up to an hour. It's doing it now, even though all I've been doing is sitting here at my desk. The only thing I can do is kick off my shoe and press the edge of my foot into the floor to try and stop the spasms, but so far, it's not working.

Grrrr. And ouch.

Kathy, that happens to me. If you can, try rolling your foot on a hard plastic cup, aluminum can or aerosol can.
