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.

Really good graphic novel about the Rapture: Therefore, Repent! [link]

Really good graphic novel about the Rapture: Therefore, Repent!

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.

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."

SDA (and later, the JWs) were Millerite branches, so they sprung from more complicated origins than a rift (while Miller was a Baptist, not all of those disappointed in the Great Disappointment were). They've still got some notions that make me do the o.0 face. Paul had to uplink one of their Endtimes TV Broadcasts, and I wound up in the truck with him. I watched the broadcast in increasing WTF.

The Jehovah's Witnesses own several very expensive buildings in my neighborhood. I always wondered why a religion that believes in the imminent end of the world made such smart long-term real estate investments.

Hey Scola, and other NYers. It's looking like I might be in NY for a couple of days next week. I'd love to get together for drinks or dinner or something.
