Hah. Kat tried to convince me kids are not a helpful gift with purchase. Or something. :)
Also, how the hell do you LA people not go on murderous sprees more often due to the traffic? Because seriously.
However that meant I got to hear ALL of NPR, and find out that 80 year old Senator Lugar runs a 5k as fast as I do (apparently neither of us are "breaking land speed records", per NPR). Jim Thune, however, managed to run one in 19 minutes. I don't even get that. How?!?
I didn't find the traffic in LA nearly as annoying as DC and Baltimore. They follow rules in LA! They know what a merge is! Sure, the volume is insane and slow, but people are polite!
That cat video is awesome.
meara, there are reasons I don't live in LA. The traffic is definitely one of them.
I'm on a downswing: between my parents & the job situation, I'm just unable to summon any forward momentum. It's hard to get anything done in the office while I wait, endlessly, to see if I'm ever going to get re-hired.
Although at least I'm getting my $600 back. Woot.
lisah, I'm sorry about Swifty.

A 6-minute mile is not unheard-of, especially if you're built for it. (I entertain vague fantasies of achieving an 8:45/mile race pace, because I am not built for speed on foot.)
I just shampooed my carpets, so my cat decided it would be a perfect time to puke all over them. Thank you, Damien.
You and I named them well, we did.
ah! Got it, Kat. Clever girl.
If I were a vet, I would have a pet name disclaimers. I wouldn't treat any of them who behaved true to their names. So when Loki there, sara, gives birth to a plenty-legged horse, He's all on his own. Should he want to give birth kittens that's fine. Running and being dangerous (nope). Periods of sulking? I might wanna look into that.
You're fine with a male cat giving birth to kittens?
I think Loki switches genders occasionally. Possibly he was also a horse? Or gave birth to a horse?
Him giving birth to kittens is something he
would
get medical attention for. Wouldn't you take a boy cat in for that?
