Christmas with Cats

Happy Holidays everyone!!

If any of you has never heard of "Simon's Cat" then you should really go to the link because it's basically the funniest set of animated shorts you will ever see in your life, especially if you are a cat lover.  The mischievous little kitty is so spot on in terms of his behavior (though he is somewhat more over the top than my kitties here, but only somewhat).  Below is why we don't have a large Christmas tree in the house anymore (we have two little pre-decorated, non-breakable trees instead - which still are prone to kitty mischief).

Seriously, these videos are the funniest ever, guaranteed to put you in the holiday mood!

The Wonder of the TomTom

Dear TomTom,

    Can I say that without your little device I would permanently be lost?  Because it's true.  I get lost easily (like, really easily) so when I have my little TomTom with me, I feel much better.  Plus, he talks with KITT's voice so what could be better (yes, I did purchase a KITT voice for it and it is the bomb.com).  And yes, sometimes I do thank KITT for his help.  The end.

    And Thanksgiving food is the best food ever invented...

I am awful for not blogging...

There, I said it.  I need to try and blog more!  I'm awful!

Random things:

Fresh & Easy has the BEST food EVER!  There, I said it.  And I love them.  Except that I have to scan my groceries, but they make it much easier than the self-checkout in other stores and they pack it, so...I forgive them.  They are a giant ball of awesome (and make the best salmon salad and potato salad combo). Love, love love.

Except (and there's always and "except" or "but" isn't there) that they had some weird fundraising thing involving taking receipts...um, what?  I mean, you needed to take my receipt to...raise money?  What if I need to return something, what do I do (not that I did want to return any of my awesome food, but, well, it was creepy).  So Fresh & Easy, please do not have fundraisers involving taking my receipt.

And that's it...for now...until I blog again (SOON, I swear)...

Spiders...

Dear spiders that fall on or around my head,

   I'm having a really bad day (week, month, year) and I really do not appreciate you falling in and around my head, scaring the bejesus out of me.  It's really not nice.  Now I don't know if you are still on my being, even though I've brushed my hair 1000X, shaken out my shirt, etc.  But I know you could still be there...

   Did you know that once, one of your brethren landed on my glasses, WHILE I WAS WEARING THEM in the car?  Thankfully I was a passenger, not the driver, so when I flung the glasses onto the dashboard, a horrible accident did not ensue.  Try getting over that, a spider showing up on your lens.  You would fling them too.  How would you like it if a human showed up on YOUR glasses or fell on YOUR head.  You wouldn't like it one bit.  Oh, and then there was the time when one of your brethren landed on my shirt (causing screaming and my cat to scratch me BADLY), or sat on the ceiling above my head...the stories ABOUND!!

   So I propose we go back to doing what we do best.  You can hide in the corner, discreetly, or just disappear in a box in the garage (until I need that box and you can move elsewhere at that time).  I will ignore you.  You can ignore me.  And we can have, to quote an episode of Star Trek:  TNG (because I am clearly a nerd) "peaceful coexistence."  Oh, wait, those aliens wanted to take us over and such, but, well, just, um, can't we all just get along???

xxoo,

P.S. Just looking for the spider pics traumatized me...

Here, now you can scare your friends!!

Luxury Kitty Accommodations!

I had to post about this:

The Longcroft Luxury Cat Hotel

You have to see this place!!  If you are a cat lover, this place is for you - honestly this place makes me want to move to England :)

Or be a cat and stay there LOL!!

I think this would also be my dream business to run...

The Writers of General Hospital are Smoking Crack

Not that I have actual proof of that, but really, have any of you watched GH lately?  I actually wrote a longer post about this that I plan to publish with pictures, but that will come in the next day or so...

In the meantime, let me sum up the show in this latest storyline.  James Franco, the incredibly hot and famous actor shown here:

Has gone insane and decided to do little guest stints on the show.  I don't know why he is doing this (shades of Joaquin Phoenix perhaps??  I dunno).  But he is.  So, imagining I'm a writer of GH for a second, I have lots of ideas for his possible character spring to mind:  Mysterious stranger, Supernatural character (hey, Twilight is popular y'all), Avenging character (it's pretty much a soap opera about mobsters), Undercover Cop...the list goes on.

And in the end, do you know what the writers picked?  Mysterious artist (hmm, okay, there's potential there), possibly someone from Dante's past (okay, tie to a main character) who is a serial killer (wait, what?) who has a homoerotic crush (umm, hold on now) on the show's stoic hit-man-who-doesn't-talk-much Jason Morgan (hold on, is this a joke?)...aaaaaand, his character (named "Franco", oy) wants to, uh, be with hit-man Jason and kill with him (yeah, this is definitely a joke...wait, no?).

Hey Sonny, where's Jason, my killer crush?  Get it?







But wait, there's more!  Franco also arranged for nuMichael (the main mobster character Sonny's son, who is now being played by someone who can act) to be raped in prison by this guy:

Hey, want to go back to my cell for some toilet wine?





Nope, they don't open a vineyard together like in "Let's Go to Prison" (which is a kick ass movie btw, and a must see for any Will Arnett fan).  Prison rapist is killed by hit-man Jason, which means Franco has to kill someone else and...and then my brain exploded from the bad writing.

Oh, and since it's General Hospital there's some stuff with doctors who sleep with each other for no reason (Patrick, Patrick's-slutty-ex, Elizabeth's brother, Quartermaine intern doctor, etc.), a nurse (Elizabeth) who is pregnant ever 5 seconds and complains about having to be supported by a prince with a zillion dollars and who wants to invest her children's college fund in a scam through her brother...

I can go on in detail, and will in my next post because of all the bad tv I watch, this is the worst.

And the writers of GH are on crack.  My advice, skip GH, get some toilet wine, and watch this big bunch of awesome:
















Love,
