For those who were interested, posted and/or donated, here is a report of the kitty Jenga, who has now had her treatment:

She's a very pretty cat. I will say that softly so that Petra doesn't overhear.

Tim and I went to Canberra for the weekend for my eldest brother's belated 50th birthday party. We flew back this morning. I came straight to work, Tim went home. Petra is apparently expressing her opinions on our absence to Tim in...

Doc Rat storyline

I've been meaning to post this for a few days. A cartoonist friend of mine does an online strip called Doc Rat. He's just in the midst of two interesting plotlines - one of them is the Doc's romance with dentist-rat Danielle (and some secret from him past which is preventing him from making a greater commitment to her, even though he's obviously dotty about her).

The second is about one of his patients, a camel named Julian Sands, who came out a little while back when talking of his late...

Sick kitty update - thanks for the help!

Stacy reports that most of the money for Jenga's operation has now been raised - many thanks to my lovely flist for donating and/or passing on the message.

I love it when the power of the interwebs is used for good instead of evil. :)

Help needed for a kitty - pass it on.

ltlpengy alerted me to this relatively humble request for assistance in paying a vet bill for a very unwell Bengal kitty.

If it ain't your thing or you're broke, perhaps you could post/tweet to folks who might like to assist with a few paypal dollars?

Thanks on behalf of all the little kitties in the world...

Welcome to the new deja vu!

I am listening to Alpha Dog and From Now on We Are Enemies and am in my happy place, because new Fall Out Boy songs always take me there. Not sure when I'll get the chance to watch the videos (both with and without commentaries) but I am determined enjoy the anticipation as much as the experience.

EDIT: Oh, and I'm probably completely wrong about this, because I fail at analysis of Fall Out Boy lyrics, much as I love them - but I suspect the whole song is about Michael Jackson.

GaryView: On the Road by Jack Kerouac

Gary: I read this back at uni in the sixties.
Lissa: Really? I wouldn't have thought it was your kind of book.
Gary: It wasn't really. But Mike Walenski was really into it. He did the whole Beat thing, with the poetry and stuff.
Lissa: And Mike Walenski was...?
Gary: The coolest guy at uni. I guess... I wanted to impress him or something.
Lissa: Did it work?
Gary: Not really.
Lissa: DIdn't you connect with Kerouac?
Gary: No. I didn't even understand him most of the time.
Lissa: I really like hi...

New FOB. Now I'm impatient.

I picked up Believers Never Die from JB yesterday afternoon. Now to find time to listen to/watch it!

Last night's Glee

I sat down to watch it this morning after taping it last night... and found only a repeat of an early episode. So. Did the current episode show up *after* this (in which case I missed it) or was I hallucinating this morning?

Trio at 45 Downstairs

Tim and I went to see a one-man show at 45 Downstairs last night. A world famous concert violinist has been found dead under strange circumstances and his twin brother, his manager and his lover are all preparing for the funeral.

Chris Bunworth is amazing as these three men - his voice and physicality change completely from scene to scene. He's so good that not only is it easy to tell which of them is speaking to us at any moment, but they are all fully realised people. Between the three of th...

GaryView: Vampire Skull wall sculpture

Gary: It's been interesting being on Twitty...
Lissa: Twitter.
Gary: Twitter. Right. I've got some people following me and one of them sent me a ... link, is that the word?
Lissa: Yup.
Gary: It's this resin sculpture of a vampire head that you can hang on your wall.
Lissa: Don't tell me you're going to start collecting stuff for your walls now.
Gary: Not really, but this was curious. It made me wonder what my skull looks like now.
Lissa: I... see.
Gary: I've still got x-rays from before, you know, w...
