Yeah, his ears are back, but they're not flattened in that "when-I-get-into-a-fight-with-this-beast-I-don't-want-them-torn-off" sorta way, but more like an "ugh-this-guy-again" southward jaunt. Sometimes he doesn't hiss and he just deals. And sometimes he even lets him lay next to him. Today wasn't one of those days. Today when I sat on the… Continue reading Observe

Thoughts On Turning 31
Somehow it's theoretically worse in my head than turning 30. That "1" is solid. All I want for my birthday now is to eat.

When purchasing the original lights, we found that Target had some simple stockings that would work really well for our needs, our needs being he and I both needed one, and of course all three of our cats need their own as… Continue reading Blogmas: Tannenbaum Part Deux

Why are you so obsessed with the toilet? Even after the great plunge of two ought seventeen, you still insist on challenging a one-handed me to keep you at bay.
