Cat-Blog, Dog-Style
Upside down. She flipped her head over while I was taking this.,

I bought this t-shirt from The Strand in New York a few years ago. It was made by American Apparel and it’s teeny-tiny, so I never really wore it. I ended up using it as a comfort item for Lila when she had to be left in her crate. Once she outgrew the crate, I tied it in knots and trained her that it was okay to use it as a toy (as opposed to my other t-shirts. We had a learning curve on that one.)
Well, it is now her FAVORITE toy. It cost $10.00. She’s been using it for more than a month and a half now. Nylabones, by contrast, cost about $4.99 and she chews them into nothing but a pointy, useless stick in about ten minutes. If I have kids, I’m going to take the risk and just get them the cardboard box for Christmas instead of a toy. (After I tell them the truth about Santa, of course.)
The best (worst?) part is, whenever Nikki sees Lila with it she asks “is that your Mama?” because her baby nephew has a t-shirt of his Mom’s he carries around and calls “Mama.” Oi.

Okay… my first comment was “ahaha” because this post made me laugh.
But THEN. BUT THEN. Your comment program told me that I didn’t pass math because I told it that 6+7=13!!
Now your program has made me mad! Inappropriate sass from a computer program!!! The “intense, world-wide, far-famed, and red-hot desperate WP Hashcash” needs to get over itself a little bit.
That’s all.
Let’s see what it thinks of 4+4=8.

[…] The main character (um, Pippin…) is a guy, and they’re only casting five women total. So I’m not really expecting to get in, although that would be cool. All I really want out of the experience is to be able to say I did it, and that I did the best I could. So, more to come this week as I prepare for Pippin (while also trying to keep up with schoolwork, applications, and the ball-of-disaster I call Lila.) […]
