    less than 4 hours until my vacation starts. :) Start it off tomorrow with a Street Food Festival combined with a public street screening of The Hip concert.

    I'm envious (and not TOO bitter) about so many people taking vacation time.

    I'd like some too, please!

    "and soon" - says my sanity.

    My cat is awful clingy.. For a cat.. He's kind of the most un-cat-like cat, I have ever been around. He sits and stays on command ( for a short term), like a dog.
    One day I'll video it!

    And.. I was re-reading a book that ThirtyBillsUnpaid told me about, and doing secondary research to see if I could foil the standard thought, which was that a Tiger in the Ukraine area actually killed a man in what appeared to be an act of vengeance. One line in the detective's initial statement stuck out to me. ( "There was a spot in the yard melted down to the earthen soil,( and run off that suggests the cat had lain in wait for over 16 hours, or had been fevered.")
    Cats can survive fever far less well than 80% of the animal population. And in doing some research I found MANY many links to findings from current animal behavior researchers that have discovered the mutation of Canine Distemper in large cats. Out of the 16 cases I read up on, 7 suggest THIS was the reason that the Ukraine Tiger killed the man, though current researchers discovered that the current tribes of that area insist the Tiger killed him because he stole from the Tiger.
    Makes much more sense to say the Tiger probably ATE a dog that was a carrier of the Canine Distemper Virus, thus infecting the cat.

    Please do, Tree!

    Beans sometimes wakes up out of a deep sleep/dream, does that barking meow thing, and becomes very clingy. It's very sweet, actually.

    And when George was little, he used to play fetch with me, with paper balls.

    My cat does that too. It's so cute when they jerk awake and start yelling, lol, like "what the..?? How long have I been asleep for? What time is it?! Oh! You're here! I love you so much, let's snuggle."

    Well I got a call from my dad. He suggested that a meeting be arranged with his brother, so that it's not weird for everyone at my brother's wedding in a couple of weeks. Just to clarify, I have never met anyone in my dad's family, I've never even been sure who in his family was aware of my existence. So, this should be interesting.

    It's such a weird situation. Clearly nobody in his family has ever had any interest in me. This is only happening now because my brother is getting married and me being at the wedding makes it kind of hard for them to deny my existence anymore. So I'm not really sure how to feel about it, or them

    Jenny, it all sounds weird. You deserve better - much better - than that. I hope you know all of that is on them, NOT you.

    Here, I happily happened upon a documentary about my favorite gorilla! She's a lefty like me :)

    Just try to have a good time, think positively. This is how people are most of the time, try not to be angry with them.

    Thanks guys, i'm not angry as such. I just don't understand how they could never be curious about me. It's sad that I never got to meet my grandparents and I don't even have the courage to ask my dad if he told them about me.
