Forgot to post these. They're from Friday. Batt and I took Ferris to the vet cause he's been puking and sneezing. (Turns out it's nothing, if you were worried.) Sadly, I do not have any pics of the look on his face when he realised where the thermometer went. I felt bad, but I seriously couldn't stop giggling. He looked so cute. "Uh, guys, what's going on? Guys? Guys!"

He pitched a fit about being in the carrier while in the car, but then climbed into it halfway through the visit to take a nap. Then freaked out again on the way home, and actually splintered one of his nails trying to get out. And he naps in it while at home. Apparently he dislikes the door being closed, but finds it comfy otherwise.

Anyway, cute kitty pics for your enjoyment. :)

Seen at the bank at my work. The main picture is just a "we want to hire you" thingy, but if you look closely at the woman in the bottom right corner, she's really fucking freaky looking. Like, disturbingly so. I don't know how well you can make it out in this crappy shot, but trust me, she's got these black-holes of eyes, and scary teeth and this grin like she's going to eat your soul.

/me shudders and clutches her blanky

Just a note.. If any of you sidekickers out there have bunny chow.. Challenge me. Hahaha --rebecha

Okayyy.. Like I can't even explain the annoyance. He told me he didn't like how he always feels I'm unhappy.. Well neither do I. What kinda boyfriend doesn't want to talk to his gf on the phone? It's whatever. It just annoys me how he'll blow up about it and send me some text saying I hope u have something good tonight to say when u call. No. I'm not calling. He is bipolar. I swear. I just reread what I wrote and it doesn't make sense to me. Hahaha. Pathetic. Who cares though. Its my blog. Maybe I am high maintenance. I feel like he doesn't give me enough attention. If he isn't going to talk to me then I need someone else to talk to me on the phone at night. I don't wanna sit here alone, bored, and talking to my shithead cat. Also!! Does he have this right to say to me.. "I don't want u calling anyone else"? I don't think he should. He won't talk.. So its kind of his fault. I need to find someone to talk to though.. All my other friends have become preoccupied by their significant others.

I'll start my hunt for a phone friend asap. --rebecha

I don't know what makes me more mad. How he's a hypocritical asshole, or how he flips out when I try and tell him my feelings (even though he told me to start opening up). And just for the record.. If my cat comes to the door. claws on it, and then runs away when I open it again I'm going to kill her. I'm so effin' irritated. I am not fucking dramatic. Urg. If anything he is. Blowing everything out of porportion.. And hangs up cause he says he can't talk.. Then calls 2 minutes later when I'm doing something. I don't even care anymore. I'm sick of having a time-bomb for a boyfriend when he gets drunk. Like can he not see what he's doing? Askflgjhiekfnv grrr. I already know exactly what I'm gonna do. He says he wants me to stop all that.. I will. Ill just not try and talk to him. He can call me. Shit. Then when he gives me crap for never trying I'm just going to tellhim I was sick of the arguments.. And how he said I was too high maitenance. Peace out. I'm sure ill blog soon.. Real soon. --rebecha

Learning why I should wire it properly the first time.

Who knew? It's appropriate that Mom's birthday just went by. She'll be partaking.

My needle master set came! AHHHH, HATS HERE I COME!

My friend Sara calls this evening to tell me that I'm in the film An Inconvenient Truth. Why didn't anyone else tell me? I guess they cut out the shot of me taking a photo with Al Gore.

I was Mr. Mom this afternoon keeping an eye on sleeping child to make sure her fever remained stable (risk of triggering her epilepsy) and making sure she didin't scratch her constantly migrating hives raw. I also did some phone calls with my managers at work, keeping my various communications gadgets close by.

But while child was physically feverish, I was emotionally feverish over the delicious details of the just announced Apple iPhone. Apple made the product site live in the afternoon, and I'll be watching the link tonight to get the replay of Steve Jobs' Macworld keynote speech. Engadget posted their own photos of iPhone from the exhibit hall. Someone has already taken the published dimensions of the iPhone and entered them into Sizeasy to create some diagrams of the device compared in size and profile to the iPod video, nano and RAZR.

Looking at my bedside collection of "comfort" gadgets, I saw the potential of iPhone (or a competing device) to finally replace my Sidekick and reduce the size of my gadget pile.

Time's Lev Grossman, who was flown into Apple Headquarters for a private demo with Steve Jobs, had this to say:

Apple's new iPhone could do to the cell phone market what the iPod did to the portable music player market: crush it pitilessly beneath the weight of its own superiority. This is unfortunate for anybody else who makes cell phones, but it's good news for those of us who use them.

I can't wait until June!
