You Are: 30% Dog, 70% Cat

You and cats have a lot in common.
You're both smart and in charge - with a good amount of attitude.
However, you do have a very playful side that occasionally comes out!

Are You More Cat or Dog?

I haven't checked into blogland for such a long time. There's just nothing new to report. I haven't felt sharp or clever for a while now, and I'm not sure why that is. It occurs to me that ever since I started on the Wellbutrin, I've been having problems with, I dunno, getting it together. I've always been messy, don't get me wrong, but I would periodically clean up. I probably would have been categorized as untidy. But now, but now...

If you bought The Matrix on DVD, don't bother watching with the audio commentary activated. Just sayin'.

Whoa! There it is! My blog was down for the count for a while. Not that you've missed much.

I wasted my whole weekend playing Sims2. I downloaded a patch so it works now. I cheat though. No way am I going to start a household on peanuts, that's too much like life.

Goddamn, sometimes these fucking cats drive me nutsl. They don’t let me sleep. As soon as I turn the light off, they start tear-assing around the place. Then at dawn they start up again. Meanwhile they snooze all day. Missy in particular is a nuisance with her constant crying to get somewhere high or after the birds, or she starts messing around with something crackly. Normally I have infinite patience with my cats but sometimes I JUST CRACK.

So something’s wrong with my blog. I’d been neglecting it anyway, probably for lack of something to say, and the last few times I tried to access it and it didn’t come up, I shrugged, moved on and forgot about it. My dashboard is intact and the blog shows there; I tried republishing, which showed as successful, but still no blog. Well, it’s not fixing itself so I’ve got a report in to the help staff at Blogspot and we’ll see what happens.

Dude, I am so glad that I am not, nor have I ever been, with AOL. Oh. My. Gawd.

I've had a curiosity about the more sordid aspects of Lewis Carroll's life, and I researched the subject on the 'net. Found a very interesting article in Wikepedia, which says that Dodgeson (Carroll's real name) was misunderstood and that his fondness for little girls was blown out of proportion, that Victorian mores were different from present times. There's an article from 1998 in the NY Times that I wanted to read but I was unwilling to pay four bucks for it.

I'm not one to exonerate child molesters. I mean, c'mon, they're fucking freaks and should be exterminated, okay? (My therapist said that even castration doesn't diminish their compulsions.) But from reading the article, I can easily see how a theory becomes so entrenched over time that it becomes the "truth."

One of those things I suppose we shall never know.

In other news, I bought the Sims2 game for my Mac and the fucking thing doesn't work. When I went to the Apple Store last Wednesday to inquire about why Stubbs the Zombie doesn't work, the "Genius" explained that the game was incompatible with the Intel chip or some such shit and that a patch needs to be developed. Must be the same with the Sims2. Looks like Apple has taken a page out of Microsoft's book, releasing products before they're finished.
