It’s harder to make out, but the two linear squiggles at 11 and 1 o’clock are blue crayon shavings edge-on. That makes it the Little Black Shit’s crappola. I’m surprised that there is so little hair in this sample. LBlS was the cat, you’ll recall, who had major surgery last May, for The Mother of…
Satanâs Little Fart Cloud has returned to Little Grey Shit status now that I no longer need to give her lime sulfur baths. While the smell may be gone, her freedom poses a new problem for me. Actually, itâs an old problem that has re-emerged now that all cats are now using all litter boxes….

The Christmas trees are still up, though the outside lights are now down (albeit still draped on the dining room table.) Yesterdayâs plans are todayâs failures.

I first became aware of the “Theorem of Situational Shielding” while learning to drive. One of the corollaries to this theorem is âCar Glass is Opaque When Looking From the Outside Inâ.

I had my first treatment for CTCL for 2011 today. Hard to believe Iâve been doing this for three years now. The drug I have to take before getting the light treatment sensitizes me to ultra-violet light for 24 hours so I end up either having to wear weird goggles to help prevent cataract formation…
My first entry of 2011 and I’m already bitching. Life as we know it continues. Things that I got for Christmas that I might be able to regift: ●4 Gorham âFestive Hollyâ votives ●Lenox âJust Jinglesâ tree ornament (which I note with amusement has âAmerican by Designâ printed on the box but âMade in Chinaâ…
The serpent bites its own tail, and this hoop snake year comes to an end. A few things that describe my life at present: Frustration: The thing that most summarizes the year for me is that itâs the first full calendar year in my adult life that I have been neither employed nor a full…
