☛ You know when that little disk icon pulses at the bottom of the document when you're saving the file? When I see it, I think, "heaving bosom."

☛ Really, in good conscience I can no longer defend Laurell K. Hamilton. It's not because everyone is unloading on her, or because she's asstard du jour—that's never prevented me from defending her before. And it's not because I've suddenly turned into a prude after reading gazillions of her books. It's because she's subverted the damned story to sex and isn't even trying to work out plots anymore.

☛ My cat was upset this morning when I changed my the sloth routine of the last week and a half of vacation. "Wait! You're leaving? I thought I'd broken you of that bad habit."

My cats were not upset today because he went to work. I did say that the dh was a cat hater? The same one who bought a kitten home rather than it be put down. UH hum. Well. I let them out at 5.30 am where upon Kitty Kerpow goes beserk and Teddy goes, meh, just lemme out! Kitty, after three hours outside, comes in and sits between the dog's paws, saying, this is my Place (whether hound likes it or not) Teddy falls asleep on the couch. Tom gets on the comp and I go to work. Where is this picture wrong? The House returns to normal. Sometimes 'after' Christmas is a good thing.

It's kind of scary how well they come to know your routine, especially when you don't think you're being routine-y.
