So, for the last year or so I have been living in a house with two cats, neither of them mine.  In a few weeks, I will no longer be living with them, and it's a good thing, too.  I am sick to death of the cats.  Not only do they wake me up at stupid hours of the moring desiring food, but they bring in the sickest stuff.  In the last six months, I ( Read more... )

Today, I was the Crocodile Hunter. Except without the Aussie accent and a less grating personality. And I didn't actually catch anything. And there were no crocs.
