In other animal news, this is hilarious: Lion thwarted in attempt to eat tasty baby, who mocks him with her mere presence.
That is screamingly funny.
You know, with the exception of one deadly and unpredictable midget, this girl is the smallest cargo I've ever had to transport. Yet by far the most troublesome. Does that seem right to you?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Hi all. Happy 4th for those who celebrate. I managed to get a bad cold but am otherwise enjoying our trip to San Francisco. We got to see David, JZ, Matilda and P-C. Tonight we watch fireworks from the S.S. Jerimiah O'Brien. Today is Monica's birthday so I got her a lt. Uhurah bath rob from Think Geek, which she loves.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Oh, poor lion, with the pawing and the rolling and the head-bonk against the glass.
Bleh. As the maintenance guy never called back, I re-attacked the sink, this time with a plastic snake from the hardware store. It dragged out clump after clump of horrifically smelly goo for about half an hour until it got too bent and snarly. And now the U-bend section won't reattach snugly, so I need to take it to the hardware store and ask what-up. So, sinkless for the moment, but that's really no different than the entire previous week, and hopefully when everything's all reconnected properly it'll actually drain without all that glop gumming it up.
Later, up to Tank Hill with Matilda to drink hot cocoa and watch the fireworks, and after we're home and she's in bed, beer.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
That is screamingly funny.
I'm curious as to how the reportage established that the baby was in fact a tasty one.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
That is an excellent gift. Happy birthday, Monica! I'm sorry to not get over to see you guys this time

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh, lion, have some dignity.
Ha!
I have been to the movies (Much Ado) and to my parents' for a cookout, and am now home and needing a cold shower, while my parents are at the hospital with my grandmother. So that's nice for them. At least it's got to be cold in the ER?
I'm sure I won't make it the few blocks to see fireworks.

Yes!
Sorry about your grandmother, Jesse. Seems like a bad day to have to be at the ER with all the firecracker and bbq-related injuries.
I think I'll watch the fireworks from my porch again this year. It's not a fantastic view, but it's good enough for me, especially as I haven't really gotten dressed today.

Note to self, pack patience when community gardening with a stereotypical perfectionist-for-reals-a-designer gay dude. It took 2 trips to the hardware store for more plants and OMGTHEARRANGINGANDANGSTAND OH! But it turned out nice: [link]
And now I have a sunburn, had to take another shower, met another neighbor, then bought Brian beer and we sat on his porch drinking (margarita for me) and nibbling and chatting with neighbors. Going to chill a bit before fireworks watching from the field which will probably end with drinking at Elizabeth&Eric's.
All in all, a good day.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
Debated about driving up to Boston to sit in front of the half shell for the 1812 overture, but decided Boston could wait until Sunday or Monday (Sunday there's no parking fees, Monday it's gonna be hella cooler, hmmm...).
After this morning, I decided that my cats were in heat. I don't know if fixed female cats can do that, but it explains the musk and the random weird yowling.
