scarlettina: (Oh My Aching Head (made by pekeana))
Okay, technically, it's just a couple of things that I loathe, but you get the idea:

  • Pat Robertson, whipping up hatred of "liberal" American judges, saying they pose a threat "probably more serious than a few bearded terrorists who fly into buildings" and comparing them to Nazis. I think we all know who the real threat to America is by now, Patsy.

  • People who think that scary, dangerous and destructive little bombs are the way to make a point.


  • On the upside, both Premiere and Time are saying (in spoilerific articles, though at least Premiere warns its readers first) that "Revenge of the Sith" is darker, better and scarier than its two predecessors. That being the case, I may actually go see it after all. "Phantom Menace" and "Attack of the Clones" were so appallingly, heartbreakingly bad that I saw each only once and not since. Here's hoping.
    scarlettina: (Everything Easier (shot and made by me))
    Tonight, after I got home from a wonderful dinner with Mr. and Mrs. [livejournal.com profile] mbourne who are soon to be Seattlites (a development about which I'm very pleased), I got into my comfy jammies and settled on top of the bedclothes for some pre-bedtime reading and web surfing.

    Merlin galloped up the stairs, bounded onto the bed and flopped over on to his side. He curled up in what I'm coming to think of as "assuming his shrimp mode" and reached out one paw. I reached out a couple of fingers and stroked his paw pads a couple of times. He pulled his paw back.

    I stretched out my legs and surfed a bit. Soon, I felt my big toe being touched. Merlin had reached out and was batting gently at my big toe. I wiggled the toe. He batted gently, then pulled his paw back. I reached my foot out a bit; he reached his paw out and we batted each other's feet for a bit.

    Finally, he curled a paw around my toe and sniffed it vigorously. Satisfied, he let go of my toe and rolled over to clean the underside of one leg.

    Cats? Cats are odd.

    In other news, it's 10:28 PM and I've yet to receive final word from the workshop on my status. If tonight was typical, then the session (which I did not attend because they were voting on my status) should have been over at least an hour ago. Oddly, I'm not really stressed about it. I'm curious but not overwrought. Hm. I wonder what's up.
