I'm supposed to deliver you to the Master now. There's this whole deal where I get to be immortal. Are you cool with that?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Yeah, the same post where I found the other movie had a link to that. I gave him lots of points for his Christopher Walken impression.

I am amused by how many cars pass and I see a flash of brakelights and they do a doubletake when I am out with Loki. Only had to carry him 10 ft tonight. For some reason, 3/4 of the way around the block (doesn't matter which way we go) he decides he wants to double back. So I carry him a ways and that seems to reset him.

Sue, at some point, Loki ALWAYS gets wild on the walk and I have to jog next to him. So I'm running next to a cat who is growling and hissing AT NOTHING, cause he's going fast enough he's not smelling anything. It usually ends with him attacking a tree or leaping into a shrubbery.

Still can't believe I walk a cat.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Dana, you've seen My Cultural Life: Benedict Cumberbatch, yes? (Is autoplay but just him talking.)

Oh! I read an interview where he called Holmes asexual! Not, I suppose, that that's definitive proof, except I would assume he's playing Holmes as ace.

Also, I've seen pictures of him with not-dark hair, and...I am perplexed. Perhaps that's a function of having seen him first with dark curly Holmes hair.

Also also, the second episode? I kinda found him hot. This is noteworthy in that I did NOT find him hot in the first episode.

Still can't believe I walk a cat.

I used to walk Pico when we lived in a 2nd floor apt. I always felt quite crazy doing it. Esp on the days when Pico never went about 10 feet from the door to eat grass.

Um, sarameg, why do you walk your cat, again?


sarameg - Nov 05, 2010 3:39:38 pm PDT #3966 of 30001

Because otherwise he spends an hour crying and the front door. Plus this has cut way down on his bolting out the door. And maybe it will help him lose weight. He likes it!

...basically, it is hilarious and amuses me.

Sue, I at least make him do the length of the block. I am NOT going to stand in one place for half an hour. And honestly, now that he knows there are prime spots further down, he doesn't do that so much. Will be interesting once we get some snow.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Plus, Calvin Borel got into a fight with Javier Castellano after the Marathon - on national tv.

That's so awesome! What over? Presumed foul?

I don't think I ever told you guys the end of my jury angst saga. I got called, angsted, it was cancelled. I got called again, but it was right before my trip to Ohio so I called and talked to the guy. He said, yeah, send a letter that explains, we'll reschedule no problem. I did, and he said, hey, your letter said you're the one of two people in your company, so I'm just ending your service.

So I will never ever get called again as long as I live in Navajo county. I was all, huh. What happened to the life lesson I was supposed to learn from all this participating in the justice system? So then I angsted a little over not feeling bad about being more or less permanently excused and now I'm good.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ha! All's well that ends well, is the lesson, I'm sure.


sarameg - Nov 05, 2010 3:54:14 pm PDT #3969 of 30001

Wow, Liese. I think they are much more hardass here. But since I still get paid even if I get grand jury duty (3 months where you might be called every day) or a horrendously long trial, I can't complain.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I totally want one of these:

Chair Made of Couch Cushion Cracks

Don’t you hate it when stuff from your pockets gets lost in the cracks between couch cushions? The design firm Daisuke Motogi Architecture decided to make this a feature, rather than a bug. The “Lost in Sofa Chair” comes with many different cracks into which you can store books, phones, and other implements that you want nearby.
