Inside. And yeah, baby munkey would be psyched. If you want inside kitteh, most any cat would be fine. Hell, Feisty is a half blind softie who would probably starve within a few days of being let outside, and even she probably keeps mice away, just with her presence. I would probably not get too focused on finding a great mouser, because that would probably run the risk of winding up with a cat who breaks stuff, jumps up on counters, and isn't cuddly enough. Just get the best, cutest kitten who comes up to you when you check it out. durpity. i can't imagine that "superb mouser" and "cuddlemuffin" tend to come in the same cat. fiesty is a lousy hunter but shes an awesome fur neckwarmer. i can't imagine dealing with bullshit for a cat that's not even sweet to you. Double durpity durp durp. Feister is a pain in the ass who throws up, pees in the basement, knocks shit over and loses it, and is always whining. But at the end of the day, she luuuurvez us, and just wants to hang out and cuddle. So many other cats I know have all her negative traits, but then when you try to cuddle, they just hiss and go "fuck ewe!" nugget is definitely not a cuddle muffin, but she's super fun to play/mess with and while she'll never crawl into my lap, I find it adorable that she follows me around the house and sets up camp in whatever room I'm in. She's also cute when my alarm goes off and she leaps up on the bed, punches me in the face, and starts purring. Despite what these gerks say, my cat is actually very sweet and cuddly
it is a very nice devl kat.

Hope they don't burst. Had that happen to a friend of mine in college. We had to go get them in the middle of the night. Travel was not recommended throughtout the city. They had pulled the plows off of the streets. So we jump into the shitty college type car and go help them. Plus it was very cold -20s F. gud times.

At least yours is a macbook. Mine is an 8 year old powerbook G4. I talk nice to it and will it to keep plodding along. It's slower than crap, but I lie to it and tell it how awesome it is just so that it will keep working for a little while longer.

Rained the last couple of days here. And this morning we have had something of a flash freeze.
The roads are a fucking mess.

Nathan does not speak nice to our laptop. In fact, I'll be replacing it this spring/summer just to get him to stop complaining about it I think.

Dammit, Lena, J teh boi facefriended drivel but knot me!
Also, boring gnus. Ice storm last night, not sure how the roads are. Driving to Atlanta today for some interviews, driving was cheaper than flying. I finally broke down and learned how to tie a tie yesterday, which I'd successfully avoided for the past few decades. Did you guys know that the first google autocomplete you get for "how do you..." is "tie a tie?"
that is awl.

that's all pretty funny. Both that you can't tie a tie and neither can anyone else on the internet.

I was hoping to go to it tonight. durrrrrr You could just watch Sherlock on netflix instead, since Bilbo Baggins is in it. He's the one who is not Benedict Cumberbutt. And he is cuter without hairy footsies. but yeah, I never saw Hobbit either. They are playing Lincoln thought.....recomended? I liked it. Some people might say it is slow-paced, and the bulk of it is senate floor infighting or monologues by Lincoln, so there's not a lot of sweeping epic elements, but it's still good. If you have not yet, go see Django Unchained, though. I liked Lincoln movie. Still have not seen Django, bc I am not a big fan of Tarrantino-style movies. I have mixed feelings about Tarrantino movies, but my older sister also said she thought it was grate. Have not seen Django yet; did see Zero Dark Thirty over the weekend, and thought it was good, but not great. As far as reality-based movies centered around the middle east go, I liked Argo better. Argo is on my to-do list. 0 Dark 30 is not. I may be overreacting, but it is beyond lame that they implied torture led to OBL's killing. THIS ROCK IS 5000 YEARS OLD!!!!!! Lena's facespace status was discussing Winston Churchill quotes, and how many of them are falsely attributed to him. I responded with, "That young, brave, Christian Navy SEAL's name? Winston Churchill."
And for the record, I thought it was VERY funny.
