So, today I hauled home about 70lb of old kids’ bikes for some of the neighbor kids. Granted 70lb in Roadmasters = two of them. That kind of load makes the ol’ BOB trailer awfully wobbly. I was SO glad to end that ride. Bleh. Joel and I will be going over the bikes to [...]
Here is a video of Smallcat eating the membrane from the inside of a bell-pepper (that bit of stuff the seeds hang from). Oh and yes, I did meow back at the cat. Force of habit; I meow at my cats. I am a gigantic doofus. Also, yes, Smallcat is rather chubby, but she has [...]

Smallcat, who is all too cute for her own good, shows me her “good side.” On Sunday I got remarkable co-operation out of the little devil and had sufficient available light to work with so that I could get pictures of her which show off her color, markings, and generally fuzziness to good advantage without [...]

1. I got the new camera I’d been saving up for. I’m now the owner of a Canon Powershot G9. I’ve gone out and done some test shots to get used to it, but since my computer is in the shop right now, I can’t post ‘em yet. Joel’s computer doesn’t recognize my camera, and [...]
There was this one Invader Zim episode where Zim turns Dib into bologna because Dib threw bologna at Zim. (click this link to view the episode in another browser) When Bologna comes in contact with Zim’s skin, it fuses to him, causing him immense pain and wailing. I know that makes no earthly sense, but there [...]

I had a 3-day weekend this past weekend due to Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Day. A 3-day weekend is always welcome – in fact, I wish they all were, considering as how I generally spend all of Saturday on the run, then Sunday doing basically jack. That Monday in a typical 3-day weekend is [...]

1. Confession time! (oh, this is going to be fun!) I sometimes confuse or conflate various celebrities or famous people, because I don’t follow their doings closely and maybe they look kind of alike, or have similar names. For example, I can’t ever keep David Duchovny & George Clooney straight in my mind. Back in [...]

I had no big hairy plans today, honestly. Maybe go for a bike ride and take some pictures, weather permitting, probably sit around in front of the fireplace reading and occasionally shoving a cat’s butt off my book. I didn’t expect to actually get anything accomplished. It all started out with me waking up early. [...]

I had to pill her this morning; it only went as well as it did because she wasn’t feeling so great. In any case, the pill went down her throat with only minimal trauma to all involved, and then I left her to her own devices until lunchtime. I buzzed home on lunch break to [...]

Sugar, AKA Smallcat, AKA Little Miss is sick. I took her in to the vet today where she was found to have a 105.4F fever. Doc Elliston gave her an injection of a strong antibiotic and sent us home with a pill for tomorrow, instructions to test her temperature rectally tomorrow, and orders to bring [...]
