The power of the muscle

I was sorting my New York City pictures earlier today and came across this. This is my former housemate Eric's cat Beauregart. Between the glistening, water-pitcher curve of his tongue or the toy marble reflection of the cat's eyes...well, it's just odd.

WKRP is back on the air!

So my net's back...yay! Since my net time was limited, I was only answering business-related email. There's a good lot of personal mail, and I'll be getting caught up over the next couple days.

What's happened in the week I've been outta commission?

  • The Austrailian reports the Asian earthquake and tsunami death toll is at 280,000. That's over a quarter of a million people.
  • Barbara Boxer rhetorically spanked Condoleezza Rice at her confirmation hearings after Dianne Feinstein introduced the Secretary-Designate in embarassingly glowing terms. BaBo: 1 / DiFi: -2
  • They coronated Dubya again. Four more years.
  • They finally swore Viktor Yuschenko in as President of Ukraine
  • In Insane, Scary-Ass, Unrelated Chain of Apocalyptic Events news, the northeast was blasted with a cold snap, then buried under several feet of snow. They're still looking for Rhode Island.
  • More bombings and horror in Iraq in the run-up to the much-touted interim elections. Iraqi Primi Minister Allawi's late-in-the-game admission that security was not guaranteeable is our "No Shit Sherlock Statement of the Obvious" for January.
  • Johnny Carson died.

But hey, I've been selling more shirts! :-)
