Would you rather be rich or famous? Or rich and famous? I wonder why anyone would want to be famous.

I'd rather be happy.

The kittens do this all day long.

We toured a couple garden railroads.

In the afternoon, we went to the hippie natural food co-op to replenish my flour empire.

We're trying to teach the kittens that the busy street in front of the house is a dangerous place. Grey kitty (aka Discordia) ventured out the front door where someone was waiting with a hose. Discordia got a little wet...and hopefully scared of the front door.

Discordia seems to have a kitten sneeze. We took her to the vet who told us to just watch her. She's not seriously ill. This looks like a mild cold or upper respiratory thing. She's playing as normal. Every so often, she sneezes.

These roses are from my garden.

This is a slug on the steps on my way to the morning train.

The kittens do like each other. They also like this chair. The people in the house don't particularly like this chair but the kittens like it so we keep it around for the kittens to sleep on and claw.

One minute they are peacefully enjoying the chair.

The next minute, they attack.

We don't have enough cat toys so I'm knitting some new ones.

We watched a movie on bird migration. The cats liked it.

This is Demon chasing the mouse-fish down the stairs.

Discordia likes my bag.

I'm making more toy blocks.

This is Discordia's favorite new toy: a stuffed rat from Ikea.

If one rat is good, more must be better. We went back to Ikea and bought seven more.

These are the toy blocks before being thrown in the washing machine.

This only took one trip through the washing machine to felt nicely.

Discordia likes her mixing bowl.

Because the cats don't have enough toys, I've been knitting cat toys. all but one of these has a bell inside.

This is supposed to be a bunny.

These are the public housing projects.

Kitty likes her rat.

I think there is a rule that says any show with a chimp has to be good. This show, MXC, passes the 'chimp' test.

Tonight's episode included a 'horse race' with the players on roller skates. There were two Mormon jokes in two episodes.

It looks like ipower is having difficulty either with their FTP service or authentication for their FTP service. Either way, I can't upload anything. I 'm not even going to try with their customer service. I don't have that much time to waste on hold or waiting for a non-responsive email or online chat response. ipower support is a joke. I wanted cheap hosting and I got cheap hosting. ipower is a service for someone looking to do a vanity site (like this) not anyone who has any serious interest in making sure their site is available and able to be updated.

These blueberries are in my garden.

After watching more MXC (Takeshi's Castle), I have a theory about contestants who wear capes. There are more than a few contestants who wear capes. They're all doomed. Most of the competitors are doomed but anyone with a cape is certainly doomed. I see an analogy between cape-wearing MXC contestants and Star Trek red shirts: they're going to die. On MXC, they're going to be thrown into mud or against a wall or smushed by boulders. I'd said this show had everything except dwarf bowling. The next episode we watched included a human pinball game where the contestants put themselves into giant plastic bubbles and shift their weight inside the bubble in an attempt to navigate the pinball-like device. I am finding this show to be laugh-out-loud funny. This horrifies me. I'm laughing at people who must be getting seriously hurt. I'd like to see a "Where are they now?" show about what happened to the person who did a running face plant into a stone or the person who swung into the side of a pillar.

Fishheads!
