I woke up in a cold sweat this morning having had a nightmare about the trip. Anyway, I’ll leave that to SarahK to document all the mishaps. Well, as bad as things were, at least I had my dual .45s on me. There were a few highlights, though. One was the surprise of seeing FlyingSpaceMonkey driving on the highway next to us holding up a sign. We were laughing so hard we nearly crashed in the tunnel (I keep meaning to blogroll SpaceMonkey, and now that he risked his life to see us I should. Eh, I’ll do it later). The other highlight was having dinner with Maggie Katzen and RTO Trainer. Really, there are no better people than blog people, and we could have talked for hours. Maggie has an account of the meeting that isn’t quite like I remember it.
Now I need to catch up on the news having little internet and T.V. exposure for a while. It seems all bad, with more people dying in Iraq, flooding in CA, more death still from the tsunami, and so many people getting fired from CBS News just to prove how bad the economy is under the Bush administration.
Well, my new kitten who I named Sydney after Sydney Bristow from Alias is home. SarahK’s cat, Minerva, who’s at least twice the size of Sydney, keeps trying to play, but Sydney seems to not understand and there is a lot of hissing and spitting. Hopefully, they’ll get along soon. Here are some pictures of Sydney:
Anyhoo, I’ll get working on some regular political humor soon and an In My World™. I may also finally put out something I’ve been sitting on for some time that I think you should all find quite funny.
Be honorable, ronin.

Oh goodie, er, oh no (that’ll fool em)… we’re going to see pictures of Frank J.’s ass….
That cat has freaky eyes. Alien freaky. Probably an illegal one too. I’d watch my back if I were you. I’m just saying …
It took me a while to get that, SCSIwuzzy. I want my time back.
Give it some time, Frank. All “only-child” cats are quite rude to other adopted children for at least 3 or 4 days. Trust me, in less than 2 weeks, they’ll be bathing each other and sleeping in the same chair. That’s just cats for ya…
What a cuuuutteee kitty!! MobileSuitPilotx (who could have picked an easier name to type!) is correct. Your kitties will be inseparable in two weeks. Which means it would be heartless to have Minerva move out! You may have to move the wedding date up for the sake of the children.
Cute cat. Older than I thought from your description. She and Minerva will work out an accord, eventually.
gasker,
It gets even worse in light of SarahK’s tabloid posting on her site…
What the hell is wrong with you cat’s eyes?! Did it eat plutonium or something? Did it fall to Earth from Krypton? Does it go around stealing the souls of babies in the neighborhood, like Minerva does? Wow! WTF?!

Is that cat not a Russian Blue? I think I would know, I had two.
OK, OK, Sydney it is then.
We were down to one cat (5 dogs, though–Yikes!), when she got run over right before the holidays. Mrs. Azlib is still upset about it, but has vowed to not replace her. But I know better…one day some cat will adopt us, or someone will have a kitten or stray they need a home for, and we’ll be cat-owned once again.
And for the record–Her name will be Condi!
“Finally, there is the continuing trouble in Iraq, but that’s not funny.”
I have to disagree. I think we should, nay must, make fun of the terrorists there. Besides, they’re so ridiculous that it’s easy. Like maybe
“Insurgents Propose Health Care Plan for Iraq”
or
“Top Ten Ways To Anger an Insurgent”
(#10 — Keep asking him who he’s voting for.)
Wouldn’t you have made fun of Hitler and Tojo during WW II? Of course you would. It’s the patriotic thing to do.
Sydney looks like my Lucie, but without the white half-blaze on her face. I think it took a week for Lucie to start bathing Gracie, before that it was all hissing, spitting and boxing.
