Really bad things:  The telephone call you NEVER want to get:   "This is Magistrate so and so.   Did you forget you had a settlement conference starting 15 minutes ago in my courtroom?"  "TODAY?  MY SCHEDULE SAYS THURSDAY!!!"  "Be here in half hour."

Really Good Things!  1.   Torchwood Season 4.  With Captain Jack and Gwen. (Yes, I love Gwen,  ( Read more... )

The fe-lions curl contented, fulfilling their quota of sleep for today.   Loosefur first gorged himself on dry cat food and then vomited.    More reliable than old faithful.   There isn't anything wrong with him that the vet could find, and pilling him didn't work out.  When I moved here, I bought a spotbot carpet cleaner.  I've been getting my ( Read more... )

Warren Zevon is sleeping finally, but his music continues to echo.

Depression is a chemical imbalance of the brain.  Or the result of thinking too much.

I"ve been thinking: too much.
Totally blowing Grapemo - not a good thing.
