Cat Blogging Friday

By Em | Published: Friday, June 26, 2009
Given the inescapable Michael Jackson memorials, I think everybody needs a smile today… How awesome is that? I’d rather have a smile than the Virgin Mary or something. It’s a completely unedited photo. If you don’t believe me, come on over and see it. Kiki would be happy to have you, I’m sure. Like Unlike

Michael Jackson, RIP

By Em | Published: Thursday, June 25, 2009
Michael Jackson’s Bad was the first real record I ever owned. My parents gave it to me on vinyl for my 6th birthday, if I remember correctly. They had all the earlier albums, but Bad was mine. I fondly remember doing my terrible white girl dancing in the living room to his music. Watching Thriller [...]

Another year

By Em | Published: Wednesday, June 24, 2009
Yesterday was my birthday. I turned 27. I don’t feel old, but I don’t feel as young as I used to. I had an excellent day. Got lots of shout-outs from my friends, ate some great food, and spent the day with A. It was low-key, but that’s what I wanted. Bizarrely, I got a [...]

Father’s Day, Solstice, etc

By Em | Published: Sunday, June 21, 2009
So! I’ve been missing in action, I know. I’ve attempted several posts, but WordPress 2.8 ate them and I was too mad to rewrite them all. This WordPress thing continues to fuck with me. Thank god this blog is just “for fun” and not “for serious”. If I was losing money or customers, I’d be [...]

WordPress 2.8 Sucks

By Em | Published: Sunday, June 14, 2009
Ok. I wouldn’t call myself a WordPress Expert, but I’m not a complete n00b either. I just spent about an hour and a half fiddling with the site. Ended up disabling all my plug-ins, and having to use this crappy theme in order to get it to work. If you haven’t upgraded to 2.8, DON’T. [...]

Friday Cat Blogging

Kiki has had an uneventful week. She has been spoiled by multiple brushes from A. I can’t do it because of my allergies. Luckily A doesn’t have any allergies and Kiki loves it when he brushes her, so it gets done. She’s been shedding quite a bit lately. It’s gross, but I’m happy these brushfuls [...]

Dorian :(

By Em | Published: Thursday, June 11, 2009
My fish died yesterday. Last week, I’d found him floating on his side at the top of his bowl. He did not respond to gentle pokes, so I thought he had passed on. I got sad, sent a text out to my friends, and updated my twitter with the news. Later, A came over and [...]

ranting, and a sick meme

By Em | Published: Monday, June 8, 2009
Most of my evening yesterday was dedicated to restoring my stupid fucking cell phone software. My phone had been doing really annoying things, like randomly turning off/rebooting  in the middle of conversations, freezing, and generally running slow. It’s a good phone (well, a Sony Ericsson K850i) and I was worried it was dying. And I’m [...]

Spiritualized

By Em | Published: Sunday, June 7, 2009
A few of my facebook friends have been pushing this religion quiz lately, so I thought I’d give it a whirl. I think the results are fairly accurate. I’m getting increasingly interested in Buddhism, and I thought it was neat that it showed up twice in my top 5. Also amusing – I scored higher [...]

Friday Cat Blogging

When Ms. Kiki sleeps on her side, jammed in between my legs and the arm of the sofa, she is content. How can I tell? She smiles…. :) Have a lovely weekend! Like Unlike
