It's simple. I slap 'em around a bit, torture 'em, make their lives hell...Sure, the nice guys'll run away,but every now and then you'll find a prince like Spike who gets off on it.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I just showed the kids 28 Cats Having a Way Worse Day Than You. Dang, the giggles and laughter was impressive.

I had tears streaming down my face when I was looking at that. This week has been long enough that cats on the internet is about all my brain can handle tonight.

I felt to embarrassed for the kitties to be amused at most of them. But some were very, very funny.

Consuela, I don't recall the name but it is on the corner of Grand and Broadway in Oakland.

Megan is my hero. I've also discovered that remembering how to drive a stick shift wasn't the hardest part of driving my dad's Bug...figuring out the headlights was the bigger challenge.

ita,

I am glad UCLA ER worked out for you. Man. Does this mean you are okay for at least a week?

Huh. Apparently my SIL did the makeup last night for the Washington Redskins. No word on what they need makeup for on a Friday night (communications w/bro and SIL consist mostly of 1 am texts, which tend to leave some info gaps) but it sure sounds cool.

She also said she hadn't seen a lot full of super high end cars like that since she left Moscow.

How random!

So I just heard a parody of that stupid rapey Thicke song about...puppies. Furred Lines. I approve. (Every time I hear it on the radio at the Y, I'm all oh, that's catchy-wait, UHG!)

Didn't need to wake up at 6:30. Did anyway.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

What kind of event did the Wash. Redskins need makeup for? Most football-type makeup I can think of involves dark bars under the eyes, and the occasional number of a Bible verse.

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.

Ugh, after about 20 minutes in my bedroom this morning Molly decided the clean jeans piled up on the unused side of my bed would work as a makeshift litterbox and peed all over them. Not the ideal way to be greeted first thing.

I had an even uglier thought, given the current situation with the redskins. But for neither of those would they need to bring in a pro.
