As of last week, my kitties have been getting regular jaunts outdoors. By “kitties” I mean Pablo since Doug is a bandit who tries to rip off the harness and bolt away from his evil owners.
Last time I took Pablo out, where Ethan instructed him on the finer points of Nature,
Doug felt left out.
This is the face of dejection.

(No blues, no bagpipes, nobody Scottish. How’d that happen?)
“No, Pablo. Poop on the grass, not the sidewalk. Bad cat.”
Also, Famous Last Words:
some random redneck: “Hey y’all, watch this!”
Enabran Tain: “So much for the Dominion.”
Lauren: “I have a ton of work to do so I’ll be gone for a few months.”
As a cat owner I’d say that looks more like the “You can’t keep me locked up forever, copper!” face.

The most interesting thing about E & P is that Pablo actually seems to be paying rapt attention to what E is telling him.
Wel, the way I got 10 random was settign WM to “Shuffle” and voila. I closed my eyes and scrolled down to pick the first song…
I think the Buckley song title is actually “Lover, You Should’ve Come Over.” A breath-takingly sad song.

Jeff’s just grumpy all the time, isn’t he?
So this post inspired me to buy a harness and leash today for my little darling, Lucyfur. The initial fitting did not go well. Will update further when I stop the bleeding.
I love this song ever since I watched those “Leave it to Bush” cartoons, but it just came up for me as my #1 random pick.
deedeedeedeedeedeedeedee
Lauren, without you I forgot FRT. So sad.
1. London Traffic (The Jam); 2. West Texas Cowboy (Riders in the Sky); 3. Good Day Sunshine (The Beatles); 4. Him or Me (The Flamin’ Groovies); 5. Lightcycles (Tron soundtrack by Wendy Carlos); 6.

Jeff Buckley is unbelievable. My favorite is “Morning Theft.” Reminds me of friendship turning into more, going awry, then coming full-circle back to that friendship. At least in my opinion. Everyone needs to buy some Buckley.
