Seriously? Pooping in the jasmine? WTF, cats? And I'm looking at you, Muppet, none of this shit (heh!) happened before. It's the second time I've had to clean poop out of there in the last week. How did I find out, you'll ask me. Well, it's been 42 (107+) degrees for a few days now and the pot gets direct sunlight for a long time. Let's just say ( Read more... )

I returned some books to the library the other day and I realized I left my favorite green bookworm bookmark in one of them. Boo! I liked that thing, and more importantly, the cats loved it, they kept trying to steal it from me. It had quite the collection of bite marks, some of them even mine. Boo again. I'm NOT about to call the library and ask ( Read more... )

'Cause most people could use a smile or two these days, and kittens always deliver.

- He's grown a lot but he still likes chasing his tail. His poor, broken tail, that always gets away from him somehow. Hours and hours of fun.

- He loves chasing his shadow too. He keeps attacking it, never gets tired of it.

- He's still sucking on us, in fact he's ( Read more... )

Some of you may have seen my update on FB yesterday. It's now almost a full day since I brought in a stray. I just couldn't resist. I heard it crying Thursday morning on my way to work but didn't have time to look for it. I heard it and saw it on Friday morning, on the same spot, looking tiny and helpless. 6 hours later, on my way back, it was ( Read more... )

I doubt this qualifies as actual music and you'll watch it at your own peril, but Friday night Greece picked its song for the Eurovision song contest and I have to say, it's a hideous one. There was a nice ballad I liked and another not so bad one, but no, we had to go with this

Some of you might remember that I started watching BSG in an unorthodox way, from Season 3,  because that's what greek tv had to offer. Last Sunday I realized I could actually watch previous episodes on tvshack.net and I managed to watch ALL of Season 1 and Season 2 in less than a week.  If work, real life and my stupid computer seminar hadn't ( Read more... )

I was really stocked when I noticed on the TV guide a couple of days ago that Battlestar Galactica would be on every week -night on a certain channel. So what if it's on at 2.30 in the fucking morning, that's what we got the DVR for, right? So I scheduled it to record and I watched two episodes yesterday evening. I was baffled. It seemed... odd, as ( Read more... )

It's time for the cats to make their third annual trip to the vet (why can't they get all their shots in one visit is a question I'd love answered). They don't like going, especially Bobby. I think flying over the Atlantic several times has traumatized her and she absolutely loathes going in her carrier. Today was no exception. After seeing that ( Read more... )

Which is weirder, that I say Good Morning to all the stray cats I meet every day on my way to work, or the fact  that I do it in English?

The kids were doing some coloring yesterday in class and that's always a time when silly things are said. They were fooling around and somehow the topic came to age, at which point one of the little girls asked me how old I am. Before I could answer another girl replied with absolute certainty that I'm 47. I theatrically gasped and clutched my ( Read more... )
