Missing his furry little face

One year ago today, my brother from a furry mother passed on. I don’t think I’ll ever have another animal as in sync with me as Joe was, and although Freddie gave me a head nod the other day, it’s not the same. Don’t get me wrong, I love Freddie and Charlie and they bring [...]

Lazy Sunday (with cats!)

Someone at work today asked me how my Easter was. I said “Oh, you know, it was Easter in the house of an atheist and a pagan. We ate beef.” They seemed really taken aback by that, I can’t imagine why. In reality, it was a very lazy day. Rick hit golf balls in the [...]

Can’t sleep, cat will kill me.

Hey, you know what’s an awesome procrastination organization tool? A label-maker. Because when you’ve labeled all of your files, you can move on to labeling other things:

Requiem for a Joe

Joe passed out of this world on Tuesday night at about 8:30, right as Keith Olbermann was reading the day’s World’s Worst Persons. He had been going downhill for a while, and by Sunday he wasn’t really able to use his back legs. We were bringing food and water to him and taking him to [...]

Joda

I’ve got a post-in-progress in my mind about my unholy love of the Wii, but it’s just not happening right now. Hopefully I’ll get to it in the next few days. I’m going though a lot of ups and downs right now. I have a tendency towards depression – definitely genetic, as most of my [...]

The $3,000,000 Cat

Joe the Cat has been working on that title for a number of years now, ever since he cost my mother $300 at the vet because he was drinking dirty dishwater back in the 90s. Also factored into that total should be the contents of an entire stand-alone freezer that rotted one long-ago July after [...]

The language of Freddies

Here’s where I come clean and tell you all that I’ve basically got a roommate. With the exception of a few nights here and there, Rick has been at my place pretty consistently since…well, now that I think of it, December. There was a bit of a learning curve for a while as we figured [...]

I should have named him Elton John

Obviously I named my cat after the wrong gay rock star. Yesterday Freddie tried to commit suicide. Worse than that, he tried to take Joe out with him. When we first got Freddie, he had an annoying habit of getting up on the stove. He is naturally curious, and he was young, so I realized [...]

Actual conversation from two days ago

Rick: Are those the jammie pants that were on the floor by the bed? Me (looking down at the jim-jams I’m wearing): Yeah. Why? Rick: I meant to tell you. Freddie was…using them earlier. Me: What do you mean “using” them? (light slowly dawns) Wait, he was using them as a humpy? (Rick nods.) Me [...]

My time in the sinuses.

Hey, you know what I got for my birthday? (Aside from that really cool Monday Night Football Steelers win over the Ravens in overtime that happened after midnight and thus technically on my birthday.) A cold! Actually, Rick got the cold that Monday when we were watching the game, and after I spent all day [...]
