Father Ray (played by B.D. Wong) said “fuck”, Fred turned to me and said “A priest who says ‘fuck’! That’s my kinda priest!”

I think that
Wendy feels the same sort of hatred for
Jemima J. as I do for
We Were the Mulvaneys.
I could be wrong, though. She seems a little wishy-washy about it. I think she might secretly like the book.
Heh.

Pet store kitty pictures are

So, I ran over to Target this morning to buy some paper towels (the cat room was out of paper towels, which makes it somewhat difficult to clean the cages), and while I was there I wandered by the book section.
This book looked really, really good, and I picked it up and thought about buying it, but ultimately put it down because I have so many books to be read on my bookcase; I decided to add it to my Amazon wish list, instead.
(And I had a hell of a time finding it on Amazon, because I couldn’t quite remember the name. Sickly? Sicken? Sickening? Finally I searched on Munchausen By Proxy and found it.)
On my way back by the book section toward the cash register, I stopped to look at a few “chick lit” type books, and I glanced at the top of the display, and did it say “Chick Lit”? Why, no. No it didn’t. It said “Hip Lit.”
Hip Lit? Kinda sounds like a display of books written in the 70s, doesn’t it? Does anyone say “hip” anymore? Is “hip” making a comeback, in that throwback-to-the-70s kinda way?
I need to know these things.

Fred came upstairs this morning after I thought he’d already left for work SCARING THE HELL OUT OF ME as I walked out of the bathroom.
“Did you order an empty box from The Humane Catalog?” he asked, holding up a huge box.
I blinked and thought for a moment (see? I can do two things at once!), and then stared at the box.
“I ordered a black and white
cat egg to round out the collection,” I said. “But it’s really small. There’s no way it needs a box that big!”
I opened it up, and under ten tons of packing was this very small cat egg that fits neatly in the palm of my hand.
For an idea of the size, here it is next to Spot for comparison purposes.
Aaaand here it in sitting on a corner of the box it came in.
I’m thinking they might want to stock up on smaller boxes in the future, just in case.

From this angle, Tubby looks twice as big as Spanky. Oh, wait. He IS!
