My Very Own Bonsai Kitty

Some years ago I got into Bonsai trees. I think that they are beautiful. There is something very cool about them. Here are some examples of some for your review.

It is not easy to make a proper Bonsai Tree. There is a lot of time and skill involved.
Nothing good comes easily, so it was easy for me to devote some time and energy to learning a new craft. Over the course of a number of years my skills improved and I was able to nurture my talent and turn it into new areas.

Thanks to my hard work and a lot of blodd sweat and tears I finally figured out what cats and kittens are good for.

And now I present to you my own Bonsai Kitty, Mr. Whiskers. He doesn't need a kitty litter box, he doesn't scratch up the furniture and he requires a minimal amount of care. Just a little water and some sunlight and good old Mr. Whiskers is a happy dude.

The History of Sewers

This is my kind of site. It includes timelines, pictures and of course information about the evolution of personal toilets and information on why cleveland is among the most unsanitary places in the world to live.

UCLA Versus Florida

Liveblogging the game- It is the second half now and the Bruins look ragged. If they aren't overmatched they are close to it.

They need to settle down and play their game. There is close to 15 minutes left in the game so there is plenty of time to come back, but they are going to have to dig deeper to get there.

Covered In Drool

I stumbled onto this pillow at Gizmodo. It is an inflatable pillow that you can use when you travel.

In concept I like it, however I would never use it. I just wouldn't because I know that if I did that would be the one time I drooled in my sleep and someone would snap a photo of me.

The last thing that I want is a photo of sleeping Jack and his amazing 12' of drool covered pillow.

Oy vey.

Feh! Bah! and Y%^&%#%&#U*&^$#%^&

I am sick today. After having spent more than a couple of weeks around sick people the bug has caught me. My throat feels like it has been used as a battleground for a desert warfare and my mouth must have been used by someone to plow a field or two.

If you are wondering I am just a little cranky. Ok, make that a lot cranky. A couple of telemarketers disturbed my sickly slumber and I went after them with both barrels blazing. It wasn't just their having woken me up, it was the way that the call went.

I answered the phone and sure as shit there was a 15 second pause between my "hello" and their response. In some respects I suppose that this could be considered payback for all of the times that I have played with the telemarketers.

I hate being sick. I hate feeling less than a hundred percent. I hate feeling like it is a struggle to stay awake. I hate feeling like I could be doing a million other things than lying around moaning.

Feh.
