Wanna know something funny? I've kept one, for years, and I'm still on that bench with y'all. I didn't create it, though...I just click the widget("Lloyd, what's a widget?") and put clips from news stories on it. For all I know, it's powered by hamsters. ETA: In the spirit of never letting an opportunity go to waste, the tumblblog I took over from my ex-editor, Becky. [link]

As long as I'm coming clean, I don't understand delicio.us either. Is it the same thing, but with links?

The kitten situation developed even faster than I thought it would.

We got the call about 6:15 last night telling us that vaccines had been completed, tests had been completed (negative for both leukemia and FIV), and, oh, by the way, there are now two Siamese kittens. An 8-month-old seal point and an 8-week-old flame point. Oh, and also, they hadn't met before.

We went and got them. The seal point mewed pitifully all the way home, except when I put fingers in the carrier (Hubs was driving -- no safety issues there) and he'd rub up against them. The flame point, in another carrier, curled up and went to sleep.

We took them into the spare room and introduced them to each other. Within two minutes, they were dashing around the room playing together. By the end of the evening, the seal point was trying to get out to explore the rest of the house. Not a wise move, because Coco and Pearl (who think the spare room is theirs) were at the door trying to get in. The seal point did get out once -- Coco chased him into the bathroom, hissing and growling. (I'm not too worried -- Coco has a hair trigger with fear aggression toward strangers. By this morning, Coco and the seal point were sniffing curiously at each other through a crack in the door.)

Hubs slept in the spare room last night -- it's my turn tonight. He says both kittens snuggled up to him all night, once they stopped running around.

So it looks like we're up to six cats. I'm getting scared.

Me neither.

You know, there's all this new internet stuff that I'm sure I'd be all over if I was in my 20s. Now it just seems like too much work to learn new stuff.

(orders cane to shake while yelling at kids to get off the lawn....)

I'd call this review of Bush's memoirs harsh, but I don't think that quite does it justice.

It takes a certain minimal intelligence for the truly dim to have a notion of their own dimness, but this is denied George Bush. He has the self-awareness of a bison.

So it looks like we're up to six cats. I'm getting scared.

don't worry, you can't become a crazy cat lady if you you're married. (I mean, you could become the crazy cat guy, but again, married)

I remember when I used to be an early adopter for all this stuff. Did it change because I got out of the tech industry?

Anyway, Jesse, I submitted a link about the auto industry, but I dunno if it really constitutes good news or is too close to news news, so I trust your moderator judgment. I didn't know if I could put a note on it to draw your attention to it or not. So I didn't.

delicio.us is a place to put all your bookmarks, on the web. Rather than keeping them all on one computer, you can bookmark things there and access them from anywhere.

Oh, that's so simple. Well, that's one down!

That is the worst book review, ever. If I got it, I would cap myself.
