My boss refuses to even accept that Edward is a vampire, so he was never even a possibility for the list.

Also, the blogposts are linked on FB, and this is one of the only ones with sane/on topic comments. Which says...something.

No, that's pretty much what they said. It's like "la la la."

Here's my all-time favorite song of theirs - Videli Noci. It's about drinking all night with your friends. At least that's what I'm told, this song is in Russian so I only understand random words here and there. [link] At the slow part everyone would inevitably throw their arms around each other and lean back and forth in a big circle. Good times.

And then there's "The Gypsy and the UFO" [link] "Grandma Beats the Drum" (Eurovision submission) [link] and "Moldovan Hardcore" [link] That last one, every single line ends in "...and we drank wine*." Like "we lay down next to tractors..." "we stole tomatoes...." "we went to the forest with girls..." and so on.

Srsly, I love this band. I accidently left my cd behind, and should really replace it - I've seen them for sale on ebay.

* but instead of proper Romanian "vin," Moldovans say "gin," which confused the crap out of me at first but eventually I realized is a phonetic shift consistent in the Moldovan dialect. piciorul -> kiciorul, etc.

Bored at work, read the last 150 posts.

My neighbor's cat had to have one eye removed due to injury and he's doing great. They opted not to have a fake glass eye put in, so his eye socket is sunken and he looks like the Dread Pirate Phoenix, but he has a perfectly normal life otherwise. Perhaps that might be a solution for your dog!

I simply imagine how I'd feel walking on old yucky cat litter, and make it a point to clean my cats' litter box several times a day. They say that that is the one place where you should be really anthropomorphic.

Mooshu's coming home today! After seven days at the vet's, with x-rays and ultrasounds and multiple blood tests to figure out what was going on, he's finally back to feeling better enough that the doc feels if we bring him home, it'll be the last step to recovery.

Basically, he had two giant hairballs causing, not quite blockage, but definite irritation and contributing to the massive build-up of gas. Even after he got rid of the hairballs, his bowels were massively irritated and he had an elevated white blood cell count.

I've been to see him the last few days and he's definitely doing much better—yesterday, to the point where he desperately wanted to blow the vet-- kept standing by the door with this expression of "Ready to go now, kthnxbai," on his face.

Yay, Mooshu!!!
