The Pablo Saga, Part II
After the vet visit today, I found that Pablo doesn’t have a parasite and he doesn’t have tapeworm. After the x-ray, we also have confirmation that Pablo didn’t eat any yarn, poisonous plants, or anything else causing a blockage. Thus, no surgery. That’s the good news. The bad news: Pablo’s body is not passing waste. [...]

Well it looks as though Lauren is back for a while so I’m going to take a long walk into the sunset. Thanks to Lauren for letting me vent my spleen for a bit on her blog, I really enjoyed it and learned a bit too. Millstone and Spooky pass on their farewells. Did I [...]

Pablo declares himself king of the bed. Pablo voluptuously rolls through the sunlight. If life were only this easy. Paul may have ruined my kitty blogging glee for a week, but it was quickly restored.

Flute here, not Lauren. Humans are social animals. Yet today, through decades of targeted marketing, people place more value on consumer products than they do on each other. Gone are the days where social capital was the major currency of life, it has been replaced by the cold hard greenback. Now a persons capacity to [...]

I didn’t cheat on this quiz, really. It has everything to do with me being a talker and never able to shut up or notice myself interrupting a speaker. I also have the habit of completely switching topics and derailing a completely viable consersation into something else entirely. You are a Maine Coon! You are [...]

I’m currently listening to Hugo Schwyzer talk to Glenn Sacks. Wow. Just wow. I don’t think Sacks could be any more patronizing to Hugo as a “male feminist.” Sacks just interrupted Hugo by turning off his microphone. Nice. The advertising is unbelievable – talk about targeting groups. Every ad is for men who have lost [...]

Wednesday, I spent a little time knitting a cat toy and stuffing it with catnip. To say that Pablo enjoyed the toy would be an understatement. At least someone other than the Republican elite had fun this Thursday. And I’m not sure how this happened, but he did it to himself. I came around the [...]

Michael Berube writes parody in response to the inane statements about the “inherent” differences between the sexes uttered by Harvard president Lawrence H. Summers: According to Kinbote, the presidency of Harvard University requires a unique array of talents and dispositions which, statistically, only a small handful of women possess. “For one thing,” noted Kinbote, “it [...]

Pablo showed absolutely no interest in my yarn until a few weeks ago. But all of a sudden is obsessed with dragging my yarn all over the house in his sharp little teeth. I could kill him. I finally relented and gave him some scrap yarn to play with, but no, he insists on playing [...]

Today’s weather was so warm I took a run in a t-shirt and pants. Something is amiss when your January weather, in the span of five days, goes from ice storm to snowman weather to 50 degrees, and then is predicted to be in the negatives by the weekend. Tonight, thunderstorms rumble over us the [...]
