Technically, Ima Killer.

I saw a blur run and stop, and after seeing the birds gather ’round and angrily chirp, I knew that Gus had made a kill. Except he didn’t kill it. He taunted it for a while. A long while. The birds and my Calicos and I watched from afar. And waited. I silently begged Gus to just kill the poor thing. He walked away to get a beer. So I went and gathered the bird up and took it to my neighbor to put it out of this existence. Did I make the right decision? Was it for me to decide? What if it could have lived? Should I have let “nature run its course”? My nature couldn’t let it suffer any more.

The bird looked at me and clearly waited for me to decide. I think it had accepted its fate already. Also, next time I come across this I will do it myself instead of by proxy. One swift, quick…terrible. The Starlings are still waiting in the tree above the incident. I am impressed by their intense concern, or whatever it is called. Everything has a spirit, and we are all linked.

I’m Only a Leo. Not a Cat.

I raised them the best I could, from the bottle to young cats. Who knew that Chi Chi Rodriguez Sanchez Munoz Gonzalez Ramirez would get some things that Magical Woodland Creature would not.

Beer before liquor…

Never been sicker. But let me tell you – the last three week’s episodes of Battlewhore have been so FANTASTIC, I am rendered speechless. Thank goodness for you. Again, we had pink margaritas – “Starbuck’s Pink.” I’m not sure what other nerds drink during the show (ice water?), but I think cocktails are the only way to go, and then a showing of Victor/Victoria. Also, I’m not as young as I used to be.

I have been neglecting my 1.5 readers, and I am sorry. Here are my excuses: Transition to a real job, consistent real job hours and real job day trips and also a potluck wherein I homemade something, fighting getting full-on sick, because fighting a cold for weeks is much better than getting sick (?) (I’m dubious, and also winded), and that other thing, and that other thing. But no worries! I am building up Fur Posse pictures for y’all despite their protests. And, I hope to post the super secret Starbuck’s Pink recipe. Exciting! Also, please come vacuum and do my errands for me, kthanks.

He has a suite in the living room, where he lounges only when I’m home. When I leave, he sprawls on my bed and lets his sisters paint his toenails. And he says to me, “My life ith tho hard, lady.”

What, I was totally fine with it.

So Friday night was Battlestar, of course. A mind-blowing episode where Edward James Olmos finally went Miami Vice on everybody, and I consumed pink margaritas. Let’s just name the weekly drink, Starbuck’s Pink. That’s right.

Then Saturday night was a big UFC fight (you know, cage fighting, mixed martial arts, homoeroticism) on pay per view, and the only place in all of this town that was playing it was a gentlemen’s club…Where I went, and watched it with a pitcher of Pabst. That’s right, a pitcher of Pabst in a strip club watching cage fighting on the big screen.

Then Sunday was the superbowl and I made Mexican food and turned my speakers up and napped for half the game.

Then I watched 2 episodes of The L Word and felt much better.

Somehow this is just about cats and cocktails. Meow More, Be Passive Less.
