Andrew: but c'mon, what's more romantic than taking over the world together?

Misha is moving her things this very minute, and the cats were in carriers to be kept out of the way. Henry looked traumatized and I feel sorry for him since he doesn't know what's going on and will have to leave with Misha.
Interesting experience of the day, #1:
Discussing lentils with two gay guys in Trader Joe's.
Interesting experience of the day, #2:
Having a woman follow me half a block off of the bus. When I realize that she's trying to talk to me, she asks, "Excuse me, I was wondering if you have any interest in the bible." sounding genuinely interested rather than trying to sell me on the idea. (I still didn't stop to talk though.)
"Women have been misled for about 20 years about an important part of their sexuality," Hines noted. "Some women might feel very bad about themselves and their sexuality if they can't find the G-spot—but there is nothing there to find."
Now isn't this discrediting the women who have found their g-spot?

Hearing Mazzy Star's Fade Into You playing in a large warehouse full of metal sounds very out of place.
MICA was mentioned on Brunching Shuttlecocks! Since I got Michael hooked on this site, I'm sure he's already seen it.
It just occured to me walking out of my room, that the fact that Henry is always outside my door in the morning must mean something. He even does the same stretch-and-roll that Einstein did for me whenever I'd see him in the hallway where I'd have to pass him in the morning.

I'm not crazy; high fructose corn syrup is bad for you!
I forgot to post this link a while back. It's another one of those.. um... those... oh here's some quotes:
"I think I look like a bad ass in this picture. This is a picture of me in my early career. As you can see, I have been sexy all my life. Although I may look sweet and innocent now, there were times when I looked like a bad ass. The outfit that I'm wearing in this picture is 100% silk. The shoes are made from soft Italian leather. I think I should become a model, don't you?"
"Since I sometimes live life dangerously, I decided to go really fast in the city. Some people like to call me, "one bad motherr." I don't understand what that's supposed to mean, but it makes me sound like a bad ass."
Having an office supply fetish is not unheard of.
I'm wanting I-keeeeee-aaaa.....
I still need boingy.net. I keep being tempted to hop over to Dotster and grab it.. it's only $15. I spent more than that on books yesterday.
This is old news but, I have Izzy's dragon shirt! *boingy*boingy*
Speaking of work again, Canadian orders are an extreme pain to do, and seem to have fustrated people enough to plot Bad Things against Canada. I *did* say I couldn't support this, but would pass on the complaint... or complain myself when I have to start doing them... that was probably it.
I heard at work today that Seattle made national news for the people who were telling the woman to jump off the bridge because she was holding up traffic.
I keep track of dates in strange ways. I don't know how other people do it, but I remember when things happened by digital pictures taken on the day, ICQ logs, web site archives.. (I figured out the day Andrew and I met by a picture of Izzy with a Snapple bottle on his head.)
So at some point I'm sure I'm going to be looking for some clue of when I started this job, so, for the record: I started working at Alaskan Copper and Brass on Monday the 27th.

Being out in the city, hearing a car playing an old Seattle band on the radio gives me the feeling of being here long before I actually moved here.
And he still types as badly as ever ;)

For the second time recently, I managed to get in contract with someone from a long time ago again. Hi Jeremy!

The closer Misha gets to moving with the cats, the more foof-boy is starting to feel like my cat. He's been spending a lot of time on my bed, and has stopped 'asking' if he can get on my lap—just puts himself there as soon as he sees me sit down, before I can even get my shoes off. Just now he tried to jump up onto my flowy skirt that was hiding the fact that the legs weren't there to support him. Poor thing ran off embarrassed and looking rejected.

It obviously doesn't do any good to post that happy-clicker is down, but... it is.

branchstudios: busy violating your javascript at the moment
So not all of the Misha's family is insane. Her father actually seems quite nice.
No one else is going to care, or understand why this bothers me, but the nice Seattle's Best Coffee that was next to Westlake (I even have some pictures of it from the coffee shop project) is closed and being replaced with a Starbucks.

There is a town called Dildo, Newfoundland. Andrew, your country is strange.

That last site had other "Virtual Hosts" to play with. This is the one I made.
Dress'm up Dubya—he talks and everything!
Andrew: well, I don't like teching while asleep though... I worry that I'll forget to do something
me: like not snore?
Andrew: exactly ;)
I've finally won Pokemon last night. Won, as in got through the game and saw credits, but not yet caught all 150.
Two main thoughts from the roof party:
'I'm in worse shape than the people who are actually drinking.'—stuck on the roof, and needed three people to help me get down the ladder, then had trouble staying upright for a bit.
'Mmmm.... mango..'—found out I like mango!
I haven't posted in a week... bad me. Okay, here i go. (As soon as I get some mango, that is.)

Something is wrong—I have two open windows with no cats in them.
I wasn't sure if the previous went here or there, so I put it on both. (and more)
Michael made me crave Thai food tonight. I was already thinking I would have to go out (little grocery store, or big grocery store) because there was no food in the kitchen, but once we stared talking about Thai, I knew exactly what I had to have. So, even though I'm on an unemployed budget, and shouldn't have been going out again, I picked up pad see ew from Broadway and ate at Izzy's, while he subjected me to weird music videos.
I had a happy cat moment on the way, though it really makes me miss my baby-cat. I ran into Einstein's identical twin next to a bus stop, black cat, exactly the same size. Einstein (Q-boy) is a pretty normal sized cat, though a bit thicker, muscular with a bit of extra fat to be a happy indoor-outdoor Maine kitty. I held out my hand and the cat came over and rubbed on me without even asking who I was first.
I want to go back and take that cat home now.
Izzy has color-change knees. He's a toy for the easily amused (like me).

branchstudios: lol.
branchstudios: is it bad to say lol when you don't laugh out loud?
Selina wanted this link so I thought I'd post it here—Divine Interventions. We saw these in Fantasy Unltd. next to the Hello Kitty vibrators.

a hot-pink penguin
I want a kitten and a penguin.
Andrew and I went to dinner at Steel & Shannon's last night. It felt like a very "adult" thing to do, except that we were eating on the floor. :)

I saw the blue angels go over Eastlake today. I should've brought my camera when I went out.
Woman Seeks Divorce to Save Self from VVF (from dilinger)
I have weird dreams. Backstreet Boys song from the point of view of a cat. That's all I need to say.

You'd think people downtown have never seen kitty ears before with all the meows and "here kitty kitty"s Selina and I got today. As soon as we left Broadway it started up again, with someone in a car offering us catnip.
