Or rather, on the way. I dropped him off at Katie’s this morning. They will arrive 6pm-ish tonight.
I came back a few minutes ago and Kaylee is starting to get worried. Jay and I left together, but only I came back! She is currently sitting next to me giving me quizzical meows.
I hope they [...]

I was supposed to help Megan move into her dorm today, but when I got there it became apparent that her room was not her room. Housing is taking care of it on Monday. I got to talk for a while with her and Amber, mostly about things like the Navy.
I took a [...]

Jay is back from Kerrville! He is less sunburned but much more tired than last year.
I went to a potluck party for my old lab on Sunday. It was quite fun, and now I know how to make dessert pizza!
If you let an onion plant over-grow, it will begin to look like Cthulhu.
The [...]

She was fine until at least 3:30am last night, because she wouldn’t leave us alone to let us sleep. This morning she didn’t come out of the other bedroom when Jay went to take a shower, and she ignored me when she finally did come out. She’s lethargic and won’t eat anything. [...]

At the vet, Kaylee had shots of Metacam, subq fluids, and Baytril. The Metacam and fluids really helped Kaylee out until the Baytril took effect. She got continualy better all evening (drinking, eating, playing— her fever even broke), and was mostly back to her normal self by the time Jay came home at [...]

Wait until cat is sleeping.
Wake cat up with petting and nice-talk. Cat should sit up in order to get more petting.
Grab the pill in dominant hand.
Grab cat by the scruff with non-dominant hand. Use the leverage you have with the scruff to tilt the head back.
Use your dominant hand to open up the [...]

As some of you know, I really disliked the Tahoma font used in the Slashdot redesign. I went about changing that via the userContent.css file in my SeaMonkey profile’s chrome folder. This should work for Firefox, Mozilla, ect.
Add this bit to your userContent.css file to change the font for Slashdot:

@-moz-document domain(slashdot.org)
{
  body
  {
    font: Arial !important;
  }
}

This weekend I attended the wedding of two childhood friends. It was really weird to see Becky and Michael get married to each other. When I think about it, they are quite a good match, but it’s not one I ever expected to come up. Their wedding was beautiful and poignant, [...]

I thought our cat outgrew her kitten-sized collar recently, so we picked up another, larger collar when we grocery shopped. Kaylee had been enjoying not wearing a collar, and was not pleased with the new one. Oh, she wore it, but she didn’t like it and made it clear.
Then she figured [...]

It appears that part of Riverbend Applecreek apartments is on fire. There’s a nice big cloud of white smoke rising above it. On the way back from gaming tonight we were passed by a big firetruck, and preceded by other sirened beings. I don’t have a very good view of it from our apartment (trees [...]

Wednesday:
Secret, free, early showing of Pirates of the Caribbean 2: Dead Man’s Chest at the Harkins Theater. It’s not as good as the first movie, but it’s still pretty good. Also, if you hate movies that end on a “you must see the third movie to resolve the plot” note, you’ll [...]
