I just saw Jason Priestly at the mall. Brandon Walsh FTW! I bought baby the cutest outfit. Yes it was overpriced, but I couldn't resist!

Also, I reserved an iPad! So excited! I'm considering it an early 40th b-day gift to myself. Woot!

And we've had good luck with the Drinkwell pet fountain for keeping the cats hydrated. They like to drink from the stream, which is adorable.

Anyway, he tries to make me feel guilty and impart his own opinions on how society should work and how my "need" to take care of my family is somehow detrimental to the country and I am the reason that the real etate bubble burst or somesuchshit.

He should call Glenn Beck and see if The Beckster will pony up for his mortgage.

IOW, what a stupid fucktard.

Glenn Beck ain't right. (and not in that "I Totally Disagree with You So I Fart In Your general Direction" way. I mean, like, really-really. Like one day he will come to the studio without pants on.

When Koogie had to wear one of those lampshade collars, we were afraid he'd drown himself, because he loves to drink out of running faucets, and he had no qualms about sticking his head--collar and all--into the stream of a faucet. Of course, we then realized he knew precisely what he was doing, because he'd get his drink then hurry towards us before shaking his head to dump the water that was still in the collar.

Teddy loved to drink from the faucet. Eventually, we had to leave one faucet dripping so he'd always have water available. Eventually caused problems because Rigatoni liked to nap in sinks.

Not strident at all, Andi. You're perfectly right and I was oversimplifying. I apologize. That's a rough test for cats about whom little is known, and certainly only a very rough diagnostic.

Good news on the girl's panel, Seska. But she really should be more generous with you and the washroom.

I thought of you the other day when I was gathering movies for our European Road Trip project. I couldn't find any movies set in Moldova. Armenia, Georgia, Estonia, no problem, but no Moldova.

In my two years there, I heard of one tourist. Not met, heard of. And he was a genealogy tourist, so... doesn't really count.

Here is a music video by my favorite Moldovan band, Zdob si Zdub, that shows Moldova now and then (1960s during Communism). Buna Dimineata means "good morning," and the song is basically a recitation of all things Moldovan. [link]

Hence, the suggestion, in that "birds of a feather" sort of way.
