Two cute kittens at work today. Gossamer and Gollum. One black with brown highlights, and one a tuxedo with little white feet. Both wholly adorable. So adorable, in fact, that Kev’s keeping them for himself, rather than letting anyone else adopt them.

Wishing I could wave a magic wand and cure all the blues I see. (And some of the ones I can’t.)

If not cure them all, at least brighten their day a bit. I like to think that I do a little, already. I take pleasure in that they know they’re loved, and can come to me any time if they want advice, a shoulder to cry on or an ear to bend. I can beam love, regardless, and keep thinking positive.

Gardening for bats. awww….I wouldn’t mind a bat roost nearby.

I’d really like to wear something like this to work. But with the pointy shoes.

ACCexpo this weekend. I forgot that the fossil/rocks and minerals show was last weekend…whoops. Having second thoughts about the tourney… I may just take photos of the cosplayers and hit the dealer room instead. We’ll see how it goes.

A white guy tried to use a bathhouse in Japan but was turned away. The bathhouse had a sign that read “Japanese only.” The guy became a Japanese citizen a year later and tried again, but was turned away again. He sued the bathhouse and won about $25,000.

Wow, that seems a little extreme to me. Must be one heck of a bathhouse.

Which eye is the evil eye? The one where I can do the Mr. Spock / Lee Majors arch, or the more muted, subtle other eye?

Figuring out what’s the deal for thanksgiving this year. I want my bro to go with, if he’s into it. Hippies? Pasta at home? Mom’s place? Chinese? Heck, I dunno. I just don’t want to do dishes.

Beautiful moon out last night. Just the right temperature at 73F…I stayed up late and just sort of moon-basked.

Val Kilmer’s “Simply cool” ad for Nikon… looks kind of creepy. He must’ve dropped his lucky “I’m a hunk” good luck charm or something. Or Perhaps it’s the freaky haircut.

They’re trotting out Christmas Specials earlier every year… here’s my take on it. You don’t need any specials other than a very few.

Animated ones: Charlie Brown Christmas &The Grinch. Everything else cartoon-wise is fluff… Though stop motion Rudolph / Santa ones are groovy nostalgia.

Live Action – A Christmas Story. (It’s a Wonderful Life is cool, but somehow, it’s aired 23,423,234 times between November and December..and I always catch the *same* 10 minute range of film.] National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation. (Miracle on 34th street?… It falls into the “Wonderful Life” Dilemma. I’d love ’em more if I could land on them at the beginning and ride them to the end.)

I don’t think I’m forgetting any. Earnest Saves Christmas? Santa Clause, or Santa Claus, The Movie? I don’t think those have as much universal Holiday appeal. Plus, I don’t like folks offing Santa, and swapping him out. Scrooged? Eh.

Oh! I forgot Muppety-things! A Muppet Christmas Carol, the John Denver Holiday Special, and Emmet Otter’s Jug-band Christmas. Those are good.

Best Holiday spirit? Charlie Brown. The Monolog Linus makes is about as good as it gets.
