I appear to have decided to stay awake this morning.

I hope that doesn't mean I'll feel as though I have to sleep late tomorrow.  Although I doubt there's much chance of me being late to an appointment at 10:30, seeing as I have to be on my way to work not much later than that time, normally.

( yonmei has opinions )

My cat is wobbling around here, yowling.  Not exactly news, she does it every day, but I think every now and then it deserves mentioning, just for local color, like.  Since Christmas Eve her hind legs may have improved marginally, but they are stiffer and broader-braced when she's just been sleeping, sometimes slipping out to either side.  She refuses to acknowledge that there's anything wrong, she keeps on with her exact same program of practicing the variety of yowls she can produce.  Actually, I think her behavior has changed a little.  It used to be that during the yowling we'd hear her scampering and doing playful things, but not as much of that anymore. 

...

She must have known I was talking about her, she just came and got some lap-time and chin-scratches.:)

( what do you do with pictures of exes...? )

and yet more snow

The snow is coming down in pillowcases.  No, somehow that phrase doesn't work.  I was thinking 'rain comes down in buckets, snow comes down in pillowcases,' but I don't think it really projects the appropriate feeling. 

And, coincidently, I just got a notice that I've been added to the parkingban list.  The idea is, if they need to put on a parking ban so they can remove snow from the streets, they notify us through this list.  However, the disclaimer on the subscription notice makes me think the list is completely useless:

The City of Portland, Maine disclaims any and all liabilitiy for
damages or otherwise which might arise as a result of any information
posted by this service or the use of this service by the subscriber.
Further, Subsciber understands that they are using this service at
their own risk and that the City of Portland, Maine is not
guaranteeing the receipt of information received by subscriber on a
timely basis. 

Sooo... what they're saying is that I really have to phone their automated line anyhow, even if the list doesn't notify me of a ban, or my car might end up begin towed.  What's the point?

In other news, I'm working on that j/w/g story, this morning.  I just painted myself into a corner with the use of condoms being associated with promiscuity, and Jeeves being offended, because he (of course) uses them for cleanliness.  I can't imagine him being anything but fastidious, even in the middle of sex.
