Andare, Partire, Tornare ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Feline junkie cruising for the next fix Two new google hits: "ding fries are done" and "diaryland.com" +sex +first. Interesting that somebody has finally twigged to diaryland.com being chock full of stories about sex. Aye, we're a lusty lot here! Lots o' kink, free for the taking. I continued the Good Life yesterday at work, because due to a staff member leaving, we had a tea party upstairs in the banquet room. So I sipped Lady Grey tea and passed around the shortbread, cheddar straws, and curried chicken spread (it was yummmmmy) with the rest of the staff, making dignified (and not so dignified) conversation. I am a bad person for making my kitty a stoner. Gracie is the first cat I've ever owned that has really reacted to catnip, and so I bought her a scratching post that has the stuff impregnated in it, and also a dime bag of catnip to refresh it. Brought it home last night, and Gracie loved it. I mean *really* loved it. She didn't scratch on it, but instead rolled over and over on it blissfully, drooling. So I went to bed, secure in the knowledge that she would probably continue to entertain herself harmlessly. Well, have I created a monster. I woke up this morning to find that she had discovered the dime bag of catnip, dragged it into the middle of the floor, bitten into it, and scattered a couple of teaspoons worth all over the floor. I walked in to find her tawdry little self flailing around in the middle of a sea of green stuff, purring in ecstacy. Next thing you know, she'll be on the streets in torn fishnet stockings, a pink tube top and a vinyl miniskirt, selling herself for her next fix. I am a bad parent. The museum mailing list I'm on has gotten really weird. One woman does a lot of excellent posting (job leads, relevant newspaper articles, she started a mentor a student program, etc) and has been getting bitched at because a) she posts under a pseudonym, which she has explained numerous times (she joined the list while searching for a job though she was still employed, and now people know her as that, just as if she posted as Jane Smith - and who knows if a real looking name on the internet is a real name anyway?) and B) has just been posting TOO MUCH. Never mind that she is giving relevant, interesting information - it's apparently Just Too Much. Hello, people - if you have such a problem, filter her out, or just use the delete key - it's not like every post she makes isn't clearly and concisely labeled. People have gotten really spiteful about it, too. Hung out with Boop yesterday and played with her new 12 white mice, which she will be running through mazes for a science fair experiment. They're cute little boogers, too. For today, my calendar has a picture of a governess putting a young girl and boy to bed, and the caption: "After luncheon Miss Underfold, the governess, waited until the Earl of Thump and Lady Emily Lisping were taking their naps before slipping away from the nursery." - from The Other Statue 8:57 a.m. - 2002-01-29 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
