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 wrote an interesting summarization of the internment of Moazzam Begg.  Whether anyone agrees or disagrees, yonmei has the ability to express an opinion, so I'll just point you there and I'll sit quietly over here in the corner being a good little brainless federal employee with no opinion whatsoever. 


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.:)


Should I keep a school photo (taken long before I met him) of an ex-boyfriend?  eor found it when he was scanning my old papers, and handed it to me with a smile, and it's sat on my desk for the last couple of days while I try to decide whether to throw it out or not.  The overwhelming feeling I have when I look at it is one of pity (and a certain subtle horror, the same thing that continues, after 12 years, to give me bad dreams in which he talks me into spending a night with him and I wake up in the morning and realize it's ruined between me and eor and I feel so incredibly rock-bottom hopeless - and then I roll over and eor's there and I can barely keep myself from crying in relief), and it's hard to throw out a photo that yanks on you like that.  Or at least it's hard for me to throw out a photo that yanks on me like that, I don't know about you.  But I certainly don't want this photo staring up at me from my desk. 

The even worse thing, though, is I'm not even really sure this is a picture of O/TomoPixie/Pixiekato.  It could be an ever older ex, potentially.  I keep looking at the pic and going, "What's with that dimple in the chin?  That's not right."  It could potentially be John R, who both I and rowantree dated in high school.  I don't think so, I think his face more resembled a potato, but my memory, as I may have mentioned, is not the greatest.

Throw it out! That's what I'd do. Especially since you're not even positive who it is

Eh, you're probably right. :)

I'd throw it out and would just like to add that the bit about you and Eor made me grin life an idiot and go all squeaky. You're too cute.
