Past two days, brain dead & fried. My workplace decided to change the entire phone system. On Monday. After giving us training on Friday. Did they bother to test said system? Evidently not. I'm in a gate that usually gets maybe a couple calls an hour. We handle website support and email and various Internet-related … Continue reading Yet another blow struck for corporate stupidity…

So the little new girl, Scooter, got to join her three new brothers out in the rest of the apartment today. We'd been penning the three boys up in the computer room & letting Scooter roam around, and putting Scoot under a laundry basket out with us, to get her and them acclimated to each … Continue reading Oh, the joy…

The new little baby did not get her spay today. Vet ran the bloodwork on Scooter, found the poor thing had a rather low red blood cell count. Likely a result of malnourishment from the weeks before we took her in, combined with the fleas. So Scoot's been rescheduled for next week, and put on … Continue reading Yup. Still a girl.

So Scooter was sulking all day today, hiding under our bed, refusing to look at me, only grudgingly allowing me to reach under and pet her. All this, over the vet trip. Brett finally gets home, and decides to try the old bribery trick...a few tablespoons of tuna, with a half-tablet of valerian crushed up … Continue reading Not a happy kitten…

So... ...after finding out that Madison County HS was a kill-shelter after all, we tried calling Cat Welfare, the local no-kill shelter. Full up. Long waiting list. Not about to try any other HS's in the area -- I'll be damned if we're gonna give this little baby up to a place that'll kill her … Continue reading We now have a new member of the family…(sigh)

I could be selling the Holy Shrine of Journey shirts instead of giving them away to you Hopping Horde-ers! YEAH! Make 'em PAY for the privilege of advertising MY site!! (though how in the heck I would get the … Continue reading Someday Mother Will Die & I’ll get the Muh-ney…

I hate people who decide that an apartment complex is the ideal place to drop off their unwanted cats. I hate people who get cats as cute fluffy kittens, then dump 'em when the kitten grows into a scrawny, gawky adolescent of six months. I hate people who take in an innocent, trusting ball of … Continue reading I HATE People….

Ick. Last week, we discovered that all three of our babies were infested with fleas. YUCK. This DESPITE flea collars. The worst case, Robin, is a BIG 22 pound tomcat (neutered) with one major attitude problem. This is Robin "I'll claw your face off if you touch me" The Hutt. Robin "Feed Me Or Die" … Continue reading Well, that was really painless…

The Rocky Horror Picture Show. In 30 seconds. Acted by bunnies.

A poster from a French Magazine And y'know, I was listening to Generations, and finally really really heard the lyrics to "Out of Harm's Way" (it's the dark shadow-brother of "Escape")...and that was followed by "Self Defense". And listening to THOSE lyrics...woah. Those two songs are perfectly paired. I'd wondered why they'd put a remake … Continue reading Harry Potter is a Leather Boy
