It’s Tuesday already, this election, and I am so NERVOUS. It is so very important to me that Kerry wins, not just because of the idiocy of the incumbent, but also because it is frightening that we can live in a country where people will believe anything the government says, even when there’s broadcast proof to the contrary. We need [...]

Went to see Mecca today. Her little paw was shaved up to the chest and IVed and wrapped up in surgical tape so she wouldn’t tear it off. She also has an Elizabethan collar on so she won’t pull the tape off. She would, so it’s a good idea. She never acted sick, which is why this is so weird. [...]

Mecca, aka Mie-Jie-jie is in the cat hospital right now. I noticed that she’s been real skinny lately, and I attributed it at first to finicky eating. Not so.

I should start feeding them more chicken so their asses are asleep at 6:45 AM. I did know, [...]

My honey is so handsome.

And taking over the streets. You know fall is coming to Texas when there are grackles everywhere. What are grackles, you say? Well…This is what they look like, and this is what they sound like. You might want to turn the speakers down when you play that .wav file, though, coz those birds are LOUD. And they always sound like [...]

One guy. Another guy. God, they’re saying what I said. Nice to know I’m not the only one!

I wanted to put my notes into this post from the presidential debates this evening. They’re not in rant form, so bear with the randomness of the selections. Bush: “there have been rumors on the internets” Yeah, all of the millions Internets, right. Sounds like my grandmother. Doomsday forecast “not if, but when” sucks Bush: “there was weapons of mass [...]
