Oh, at first it was confusing. Just the idea of computers was like — whoa! I'm eleven hundred years old! I had trouble adjusting to the idea of Lutherans.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

So last month, Mark and I were supposed to meet someone from Mark Watches. She was visiting her aunt in Oakland, and we were going to meet for lunch on Piedmont. Except she didn't show up. I called and texted multiple times and received no response. I think we waited almost an hour before giving up and just eating.

Well, I just found out why she didn't make it.

Her cousin was eaten by his pet tiger.

Seriously.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

Oy vey. I don't know what to say about that. I mean sad for her and sadder for her cousin.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Not too great an outcome for the tiger, either, who had no chance to avoid being raised and kept as a completely inappropriate "pet". I am, however, very sorry for her sorrow.

And none of us deserving the cruelty or the grace -- Leonard Cohen

Whoa, P-C. That is...insane. And very sad. Also, what Bev said.

I totally did the llama drama, and now I'm about to go to work and try to get everyone there to do it.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Damn, PC. That sounds like a side plot in a Coen Brothers movie.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

P.-C., my jaw dropped open when I read that. How horrible.

I keep signing Bolivian llama and laughing like a loon.

Art Crawl!!!

Holy crap, P-C - that's just terrible.

I love the Llama Drama sign.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I love the idea of llama drama (and yes, I did the sign here at my work desk), but I need to be able to use it appropriately. When is that?

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

I'll have to share that with CJ after school. Thanks Tom. In motherly bragging mode, CJ took his written e-care (basically EMT training) test and passed with flying colors. He takes his practical test on Thursday.

Cat question - For those of you with multiple cats, do you feed them different cat food? If so, how do you keep them out of eachothers bowls? I swear Miss Kitty and Noodle have concocted a plan together. They each eat from their own bowls at first and then swap bowls. For now, they get the same kibble, so it isn't a big deal. With Miss Kitty being an elder cat, I can see the day in the future when she will have special kibble.
