I really need to decide some periods I'm just going to have to hurt.

That's awful. I'm so sorry that that is a decision you have to make.

Useful sentence gleaned from Phineas and Ferb this morning: "That's why books have covers - so you can judge them."

Cayenne takes a large mouthful of her mixed dry and wet food, carries it over to the living room rug, drops it, then eats all of it bit by bit.

Oh, that's what TNG does, as well, except it's all dry kibble. If I'm not in the kitchen, she'll eat the rest in there, but she almost always takes the first mouthful into the living room. I think it's some sort of screwy defense mechanism, like eating out of the dish makes her feel too vulnerable.

ita, I hope you can get something worked out.

As for the cat and dolphin, I admit my first reaction is that the dolphins smell of fish: why wouldn't the cat be interested?

I have given up and put the heat back on; I've been cold for the last few days, and I was freezing last night. Warm is better.

My parents' Yorkie often takes food to the hallway and leaves it there for later.

I have seen this!

I woke up at a decent hour this morning (9:30), without an alarm, got up, got a latte, and worked out! I feel so adult. Later today I will go to a film festival a friend is producing. But I still feel guilty my house is not clean, and feel that hiring someone to do that is lazy (but if it's not going to get done otherwise? I should really just hire. But I haven't)

As for the cat and dolphin, I admit my first reaction is that the dolphins smell of fish: why wouldn't the cat be interested?

It's entirely possible the cat does as well.

We're all going "Awwwwww" and it turns out they're just trying to figure out how to eat each other.

I was actually cringing at that smile full of razor sharp teeth that close to the widdle kitty. So easy to just pluck it off the boat like a bonbon out of the box. I wasn't too worried about the cat's claws on the porpoise's skin--they scrape and scrub stuff all the time underwater. But teef--scary.

Ha! If books didn't want us to judge them, wouldn't they all just have the same, blank cover? They're asking to be judged!

See what I did there, with the books and the slutwalk and all that? I also liked the "It shouldn't be this hard to be easy" sign.

I like the bit where the dolphin is under the water and pops up and the cat is all, oh, there you are! I chose to believe it is a step towards interspecies peace.

Oh Liese, I want to believe, but--teef! And then I go is that a smile? Or a predatory grin? Brrr. Less trust in general than I thought I had.

I know, I definitely had the same reaction right off the top. But they're all playful and headbutty and patting. I'm sure it's all just fine! Ahem.
