cat mute button

Oh, dear god, last night Max did his freaked out meowing that comes with a guest in the house. Jesus, it makes me want to trade him in for a version with a remote control and a mute button. Do they make those? (That'd be handy anyway to shut him down so I can actually take him to the vet.) I wanted to kill him this morning. On the glass-half-full version of events I was up early and had a leisurely breakfast. Plenty o' time to snarf down my — wait for it — homemade granola. I know, right? I'm impressed. :)

It's 10ish and I already read something I love today. Someone on Jezebel referred to a friend as "the Piper to my Trig" which I am SO working into a conversation as soon as it's possible.

My least favorite bit of reading so far today is that the GOP has seen a huge bounce in the polls since the convention. I so don't understand this country. Do they read? Like, at all? How can they mindlessly suck up this shite they're being fed? I just… can't wrap my head around it. And how does secessionist-leaning, book-banning, sketchy firing, anti-sex ed with a knocked up daughter, speaking in tongues, weird kid-naming, scary anti-choice freak like Sarah Palin get mindlessly championed? *whimpering* I don't GET it. And how do you position yourself as the party of change when you've been in charge?? And people fall for this Karl Rove-ian badmouthing and gossip mongering every time. I'm just… bewildered. And scared as shit that these people will win yet again.

In other news, I need these, but am on a budget and can't get them. *whining* But it's not just a want, I NEED THEM.




Sometimes it sucks to be well-behaved.
