Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

How is MK doing?
He's being old. I have periods of really worrying about him, then he acts fairly normal for a cat of his age and circumstance. Need to warn the petsitter he's frailer than he was at Xmas. Sigh. We're due for another checkup in June. We're on a 6mo schedule with him given his age and feebletude.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Y'all are cute.
I don't know where it came from, but I am in a bad fucking mood. Kind of unfortunate.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Ugh, Burrell. Anything you can do to change it? Alcohol? Chocolate? An uninterrupted bath?
sara, give him a skritch behind the ears for me.

Will do. Scritches to Mister Guest-comatizing.

I hope Leo is doing better by morning, and can come home to you healthy and happy to be home, zenkitty.

What Perkins said, zenkitty. Much ~ma to you and Leo.
Mister Guest-comatizing
That really should be his name. He managed to get me to pet him without my even realizing it.
I am procrastinating on finishing the cleaning. It's just too many -ing's all at once, so I'll follow the first and hope the cats and dog (and DH) take care of the second and third.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
I have a smart dog. Sigh. I actually found a small training treat that he paid attention to, but the minute he realized I was trying to use them to change his behavior, he stopped being interested.
On the other hand, his barking cut by about two-thirds as soon as I started opening the door and saying "quiet" firmly when he was just trying to make the dogs next door play or for the sake of barking. He was like, "Okay, I didn't realize you cared."
His efforts to make the dogs next door play are kind of sad. He's like the kid who never gets picked for recess.

Sorry to disappear on you. Putting kids to bed, then doing some email work.
I did consider each of those plans. Ate a bit of chocolate, decided that the last bath didn't fix the foul mood it was supposed to fix, so didn't try it this time. But the sugar--and the quiet probably--have helped a bit. Thanks.
