09:31 pm I think Oprah has made a clever move. She gets the big interview with the Witch from Wasilla, and then announces ending her show, which takes the popular news away from the rest of Palin's campaign. Current Mood: amused

09:06 am - What ever happened to? So... What ever happened to Sarah Palin? She sure was a flash in the pan, eh? Current Mood: nostalgic

06:33 pm Ella gives this one-eyed glare, not unlike the famous Dramatic Groundhog This image still cracks me up. Current Mood: amused

01:48 pm - /. I've been laughing at my Slashdot comments. I don't even remember writing these: On Data Preservation and How Ancient Egypt Got It Right '... the Egyptians didn't have a low signal-to-noise ratio, with images of cats saying "I CAN HAZ BASTET?" Or Horus' Tweeting "OMG My brother Set is such a dick!' On Some Large Dinosaurs Survived the K-T Extinction 'I'm under the impression the K-T Perry extinction was due to girl dinosaurs kissing. And then liked it' On Shell Ditches Wind, Solar, and Hydro 'I'm not saying they're cheap, but when Shell asked me out for dinner, they wanted to go dutch.' And none of them got modded up for being funny. Clearly, /. doesn't deserve me. Current Mood: shocked

01:10 pm We've been watching True Blood over the weekend, and I'm not really feeling it. It's not sexy enough to be sexy. And not weird enough to be weird. Plus, the "special girl finds vampire with a heart" story sounds all too familiar. At least the comedy is good. I still feel like death. I kinda wish I were a vampire right now. Blah! Current Mood: pessimistic

06:01 pm - Alas. Ear wax. OMG! I was googling ear mites, and I found videos of wax being taken from human ears. I just wasted and hour watching videos of ears being cleaned! It's disgusting, yet fascinating. I can't look away. I have also found a lot of morgellons "sufferers" and ear candling advocates. Cray cray! Current Mood: accomplished

02:38 pm - The Canine Subculture C's discovered the canine subculture in the neighbourhood. She's met more people in two days than in the past 3 years. Of course, she doesn't know anyone's name -- just the names of all their pooches. An old French couple in a truck pulled over to the side of the road to show off their own Shih Tzu. They grilled her with a million questions. We've introduced all the cats now. They're all keeping their distance. Chester is slowly roaming, his fur in a bristle. Ella seems to show express her fear by playing 'possum. C's demonstrated she's obviously a dog person. She completely adores this funny looking thing, with its runny nose and eyes, and rather disgusting eating habits. I can hear them in the next room. "Show momma how a piggy eats!" *mow* *mow* *mow* I'm sure the cats are disgusted as well. --- I've survived my Long Dark Night of the Soul. I still feel like crap, but I'm not coughing constantly. I thought a shower would make it all better, but now I'm really tired. Current Mood: sick

08:13 pm Those Old Navy mannequins are even more obnoxious when I'm sick. I hate them so much. I had a horrible dream last night, where my dad and I had a huge argument. Something we should have done 20 years ago. It went on and on. And my mom was furious to have to live with two assholes. I woke up drained. It was a horrible feeling. The dog started breathing heavy, I don't know if she was lonely in her crate, or she wanted to go walkies. C was sick, and despite repeated declarations that I will not be the one to walk the dog at 4am, I walked her at 4am. Hey. C was really sick. I'm not a total dick. Corner Gas is making me laugh. Ow ow ow. It hurts too much. Current Mood: sick

09:23 pm - Ella + Left-turn surprise No barking. No whining. No jumping. She just sits and stares. She likes to be petted. She pees immediately when she goes out. Cheeky and Oliver are wary, but not threatened. She's resting while Oliver pokes around her. This is the most boring dog, ever. Score! On the way to the vet, I got stuck turning left in an intersection. I entered the intersection to turn left, thinking it was clear, but some pedestrian held me up. I ended up blocking the left-turning lane for half a light and as soon as I got through, there was a cop RIGHT BEHIND ME. He let me off with a warning. He must have been overwhelmed by Ella's cuteness. Maybe it's karma for saying something positive about cops this morning. Current Mood: indifferent

10:06 am OMG. I can hear two of my employees are having a rather loud extended argument and someone just cranked up the Star Trek fight music. Current Mood: amused

02:12 pm - Best of Mentalist Best of Mentalist From July 2007. Though poorly written, this is probably my best-received post. C came home with cat advice from a co-worker. He managed to calm his cat down by playing the alpha-cat -- pinning it down and hissing. Even biting his neck. It took him six months of consistent discipline, but he got the cat to behave. I have my doubts, as after six months, a cat can just calm down on his own. After dinner the other day, Chester was being ornery. So I decided to try this out. I turned him on his back, and hissed at him. From the back of the throat. Like a cat. Since I had just had dinner, I horked on my cat's face. Like a cobra. Chester just sat there, stunned like a straight man, with beads of liquid all over his head. I got a paper towel and cleaned him up. C was useless, as she was too busy howling with laughter. Current Mood: contemplative

11:53 am It looks like my life is going to get Shih Zhuier. Behold, Ella! She's a little ashamed because they shaved all of her fur. I don't think we're allowed to get her wet, or feed her after midnight. We get her on Thursday. Will Steve ever sleep again? Will Cheeky still be "top dog"? Stay tuned and find out. Current Mood: sleepy
