Hell yes, I finally have a kitty!
She was my grandma's cat.  No, grandma is not dead.  Turns out Sugar may have a touch of  the epilepsy, and grandma couldn't deal with it.  She's only had 3 seizures that we know of: once at my parent's house while playing with a laser pointer, and twice at grandma's (which had recently been sprayed with pesticide ( Read more... )

Dr. Maya Angelou sums up the most breathtaking part of this election at the end of her poem,
"Still I Rise."

"

.
Out of the huts of history's shame
I rise
Up from a past that's rooted in pain
I rise
I'm a black ocean, leaping and wide,
Welling and swelling I bear in the tide.
Leaving behind nights of terror and fear
I rise
Into a daybreak that's wondrously ( Read more... )

It was a close race and it took almost a fucking WEEK, but we finally decided he was slightly more of a Pascal than anything else.  It means "relating to Easter," so we thought it was doubly appropriate.  So we now have Hazel, Logan, Pascal and Zissou.  I love how they're all males but have unisex or swishy, fruity French names.  I'm going to go ( Read more... )

Well, even though I thought I had decided that Hazel and Logan were going to be my last rats, I woke up this morning and immediately said, "I think we need to get another rat."  I had my reasons.

I knew that Bella had a few boys who needed homes, so I gave her a call and here I am with two new buddies in my apartment.  I couldn't pick between the ( Read more... )

"Thank you for loving me.
You know I love you too,
that's why it's hard to say goodbye
and end this life with you.
So hold me now just one more time
and let me hear you say,
because you care so much for me,
you'll let me go today."

Friday night I said goodbye.
