zombies would not want my brain

It’s been some time since I had a dream about returning to Ireland. This latest installment was no different than the others, except the thing to note is I arrived right at the end of term, and everyone was meeting at a restaurant to go over their final papers and everyone was writing phonetically, as [...]

up to speed

Molly is back with us at the apartment for what I hope will be a short time, but may become a few very complicated weeks. The cats are less than pleased, even Yaji who I thought would have remembered her.
By the time I get to work in the morning I am ready to go to [...]

why won’t you let me be good?

I have two invites for gmail left. I’d give them away on GmailSwap but that site is pissing me off for three reasons:
1. Any good offers are taken seconds after posting.
2. Most people don’t follow through or are scammers.
3. Those with accounts to give away are fucking greedy.
So if anyone wants a gmail account leave [...]

like jet lag, but different

My sweat has lag.
It does!
Whenever I’m walking somewhere, I don’t sweat. A few seconds after I stop, I can feel my face pulsing red and my roots soaking wet. By the time it’s all caught up with me I look like I just stepped off the treadmill after an hour’s run, when only I just [...]

My Sim got abducted by aliens.
She screamed while green lights surrounded her and lifted her into the sky. Then she was gone.
Will they bring her back?
I sure hope so, because my other Sim has a job. I’m lucky if I have enough time to get him in and out of the bathroom before his ride [...]

fresh oysters taste just like the ocean

No, that’s not a good thing. Apparently they need to be eaten with tobasco sauce, to which I say “Why?” Cover anything with tobasco sauce and it won’t taste like anything else. You could cover a Cheez-It in tobasco sauce and it’d taste just as good. But it wouldn’t actually taste good at all, because [...]

thank god, there’s still some smart people left

This was covered briefly in the news yesterday, but a better article is in the Mercury News. It totally went over my head at the time, because I was far too engrossed in making an origami box for Yaji to play with. Who has time for news when the cat needs a toy?
I truly hope [...]

biggest turn-on: pestilence

Republican Survivor! I especially like the character profiles.

because cats can’t just drink gatorade

Today I learned how to inject our cat with fluids, to hydrate him. You take a needle, see, and you pinch up their scruff and jam it in and let the fluids go through a tube and the cat is left with a soft, fist-sized hump in his back which is suppossedly absorbed into his [...]

here’s a first

When I saw the message blinking on the machine, I prayed that the cat had a urinary tract infection. Because that’s the best case scenario.
No, he doesn’t have an infection. He has bladder inflamation, and they can’t rule out stones.
Yesterday he peed in two spots in the bedroom. Today he tried to continue his quest [...]
