Introducing . . . . MARTHA!
Hello please monkeys! It's a new week and I've got some exciting news! (Exciting for me anyway.) A few of you already know: I got (drum roll please!*) an iPhone!I have been wanting one for ages, but told myself I couldn't afford one. (Kinda like an iPod.) But since I was eligible for an upgrade on my cellphone and since I bought a refurbished one, it wasn't that expensive. My monthly bill is going up, but I think it will be worth it. I have done nothing since I got home but play with Martha. Why yes, did I forget to tell you I've named her Martha. George and Martha. Get it? Because George is certainly not being replaced. Martha, like George, is an 8 GB. Between the two of them they might be able to keep up with my music needs. Okay, not really, but George certainly won't mind the help I'm sure. So that's all I have for you kids as I'm off to see what else Martha can do. MahNa MahNa. *I bet there's an app for that. .

Neil Gaiman!
Love him? Like him? Sad that he hasn't come to the Southeast in quite some time? Neil Gaiman is COMING TO DECATUR! On December 14! I don't have any more details yet but YES YES! Little Shop of Stories participated in a contest and threw a party for the Graveyard Book on Halloween and they were chosen BY NEIL as the winner! Why yes, I'm personally excited. You should be too. Details will be all over the place very soon I'm sure. :) |

**BREAKING** Fox News Gets Fact Wrong **MUST CREDIT VOUCHER ANKLES**
 Peter Vadala was on Fox News this morning and set a record for the number of times one can say "homosexual" in a three-minute segment. He also positioned his homophobia as "love." As with most coverage, Fox News ignored Vadala's and his employer's account of the incident and went with the myth that he was terminated for saying something about gay marriage. Maybe I'm reading into it, but he appeared to get on the nerves Fox and Friends interviewer Peter Johnson, Jr. The video can be seen at the bottom of this Raw Story article which references my earlier post.  |

ok, so sarah palin is releasing a book. and it's filled with some insightful, thoughtful gems
http://www.moby.com/journal/2009-11-15/ok-so-sarah-palin-releasing-book-and-its.html ok, so sarah palin is releasing a book. and it's filled with some insightful, thoughtful gems, like: 'here's my philosophy on being a carnivore: If God had not intended for us to eat animals, how come He made them out of meat?' -sarah palin.
well, mrs. palin, let's look a bit more closely at what you've written. you believe that god intended for us to eat animals because they're made out of meat. ahem. i mean, i'm not a professional logician, but i can see that the extension of your logic might lead you to some places with which you might be uncomfortable. bear with me, ok?
your logic sort of stands as:
1 meat is good (due to the fact that you like it)
2 animals are made out of meat (which is obvious, as meat is the stuff that surrounds their bones)
3 thus eating animals is good (and divinely sanctioned).
the problem, of course, being that other things are also made out of meat. like, well, people. and doggies and kitties. and cute little human babies. so if we follow your logic, mrs palin, you are actually suggesting that god intended for us to eat humans and dogs and cats and human babies, as these things are all technically made out of meat. i'm not even being swiftian, i'm just exposing sarah palin's thoughts to some simple logic. which might be problematic, as she is also the person who once talked about looking out her window and seeing vladimir putin staring back (although he's technically 8,000 miles away, unless he's recently moved to kamchatka). or perhaps they do things differently in the palin household, who knows. perhaps she really does think that we're intended to eat humans and kittens and babies, as god did make them (aka-us, in some cases) out of meat. i meah, let's be clear, she's a crazy sociopath, so anything is possible.

My Life Revolves Around Poop.
Hello Please Monkeys! Hope everyone has had a pleasant weekend. My Sunday was definitely lazy. I meant to do so much more, but instead my biggest accomplishments are watching Thelma & Louise and going to hear the Memphis Men's Chorale. Yes, I was a good girl and went to hear my friend sing. Only problem -- Jon D. wasn't there. He got sick and couldn't make it. (He spent many hours Saturday night/Sunday morning talking on the big white phone, but without the fun getting drunk part beforehand.) He was horribly upset he wasn't going to make it and part of me wanted to skip the concert. However, Mom had told the conductor, who happens to be the choir director at their church, that she would be at the concert. Plus, Mom had convinced Dad to take Ann Marie to her Sunday Social event that was happening at the same time. So I would have felt bad if I made her miss the event. And it was good. But was no videotaping as Jon was not there to give me the camera to break. Meanwhile, back at the Home Office, we've got.....wait for it......a new litter box! I know, I know, I can hardly contain my excitement either! I purchased the Clevercat Top-Entry Litterbox. Bleu couldn't BE more excited. Okay, Bleu couldn't give a rat's ass, but we're ignoring that for the moment. You see, one of the big problems with our current litter box is that Lexy seems to think it's a treat box. (Yes, I know that is DISGUSTING BEYOND BELIEF but it's true. You'd think Bleu was shitting chocolate the way she rushes to wolf it down.) This means that anytime Bleu takes a poop I really need to go clean the box. (Read: Anytime the stench hits me, I know at the next commercial I should really go clean that up.) But the problem is I cannot be scooping his poo EVERY DAMN MINUTE OF EVERY DAMN DAY. I certainly can't wake up in the middle of the night and scoop the poo. Although let me tell you, Bleu's favorite thing to do is wait till I'm all curled up in bed, about to drift off to sleep when suddenly I am jerked back to consciousness by the smell of his poo. I must then decide whether I am willing to get up and scoop the poo or accept the fact that Lexy's going to eat it. But even when I clean the box right before I go to sleep, I often wake in the morning to discover the lid on the box has been knocked off by Lexy trying to get in and snack. It's just gross. Enter, the top-entry box. This thing has a lid on it with a hole in the top for the cat to enter and exit thru. We have tried boxes with "doors" but Bleu HATES the door. He should not have to push a door open to poo. And the door didn't stop Lexy, who is happy to push her head thru the door to get to her treats, or she'll just knock the lid off. Whatever it takes. But she shouldn't be able to get into this new box. The main problem will be getting Bleu to use it. Bleu likes change less than I do. He did seem to like the container. I left it out sans lid and litter and he jumped into it yesterday. Then I put the lid on and he jumped in earlier today and hung out for a while. This was encouraging and so I removed the lid and added litter. Bleu refuses to go in the box. I put try to sit him in there and he won't even put all four paws in. His back paws go in and the other two sit on the side so he can immediately leap out. In fact, he has just used his old box and I tried once again to put him in the new one and he ain't having it. I'm still hopeful. Anyway, that's enough about poop. Did I mention that when I had my eyes checked yesterday the doctor dilated them? My pupils were HUGE. Seriously, it was crazy weird-looking. Also, slightly annoying cause it makes you sensitive to light so I sat around in the dark for the rest of the afternoon cause I really couldn't do anything. Also, does anyone watch Legend of the Seeker? I love this show and it seems the CW has banished it to late, late night hell. I need to check their schedule but so far the only time I've managed to find it on is at midnight Saturday. What the dick is up with that? So remember how I said Bleu just used his litterbox? Yeah, he pooped. It's hitting me now. I would give huge amounts of money to anyone who could teach my cat to cover his shit. Strongest odor fighting cat litter in the world doesn't help when your cat doesn't cover his shit. Later monkeys! MahNa MahNa. . Current Mood:  disgustedCurrent Music: Florence + The Machine, Lungs |

Originally uploaded by seweccentricWe went to Adkin's Architectural Antiques today (Downtown on Fannin St.) - I love that place. I was hoping to find an affordable chandelier for the dining room - no luck. But they have so many neat things there - very "shabby chic".
