Somehow I don’t see Josh buying me a remote control Dalek Thay or a Imperial Guard Dalek. The idea of one of them and the cat in a room together is amusing on its own. There is a mini r/c set too. It looks like it might be Dalek Sec and one of the others, but I’m not sure.
I was checking out the rest of the site and came across stuff for a kid’s party! If I had kids, I’d be all over it.
Once again, I have found something good through google ads!

Via Pamela…
Pay It Forward: I will send a little gift to the first five people who leave a comment here or in my LiveJournal.
I don’t yet know what that gift will be, but you will receive it within 365 days. The only thing you have to do in return is “pay it forward” by making a similar agreement on your journal.
I may knit something. Perhaps I will sew it. Maybe I’ll make use of all of the beads and jewelry making supplies I have. It could be a mix cd. It may be something useful or completely silly. Perhaps one day when you weren’t expecting it, you’ll find a little something in the mail.
So, who wants to get a surprise in the mail? Comment here and then email me your mailing address!
I’ll hopefully remember to edit this entry when I get all of the people.

Sometimes things are done for the silliest of reasons and the simplest of things.
My cat has been behaving like a pain the butt ever since I got home. I’ve been sitting at my desk trying to write bills and balance the checkbook. She has been all over the house messing with things in an attempt to get my attention. When she finally started to chew on paper on Josh’s desk, I gave in. I picked her up, plopped her down in Josh’s chair and pulled it up next to my desk. She looked at me for a few seconds and then proceeded to curl up into a ball and is now asleep.
She’s been like this a lot lately. She likes to be within about four feet of me. If I go into the kitchen, she’ll go and sit on the floor. If I go into one of the bedrooms, she’ll go with me. It is the same with every room of the house. It isn’t food related either. She does this even when she has food on her plate. Cute, but odd.
In other life related news… Josh and I have been watching all of the Doctor Who episodes lately in an effort to catch him up. Unfortunately, this is now causing weird Doctor Who related dreams for me. I’m creating episodes in my dreams now. Weird, but it doesn’t make for a solid night’s sleep. Oddly enough, none of them actually feature the dear Doctor. It was full of other reoccurring cast members.

OK, if you have your cat on catster.com or dog on dogster.com, you can get a free 8×8 in. 20 page photo book from Shutterfly.com It is for anyone who was a member before August 14, 2007 (that’s this year). I don’t know the quality but I figured I would mention it. Catster link. Dogster link. It is only good until this Sunday, so get to work making your photo book if you are going to! Oh, and you don’t have to make it of your pet. Though it might be cute.

This lolcat picture reminds me of what my cat did a week ago. Notty cat.

There seem to be some mythology fans behind Michigan. Romulus Michigan is 169 miles away from Remus Michigan. Then we have the University of Michigan’s mascot. It just happens to be a wolverine.
For those that don’t know the story of Romulus and Remus, visit the wikipedia entry. I just thought that was interesting.
I’ve had a headache for quite a few hours. Nothing is stopping it. I am quite miserable. Bleh.

Spiiiike.
Wii arrival expected tomorrow. Josh is expecting me to have it hooked up and to have already mastered the Wii Sports games before he gets home tomorrow. It is nice knowing that your husband knows and trusts that you are fully capable of handling electronics. My only issue is going to be whether we should move the television for maximum play area. If we move it, we have to completely rearrange the living room. Eeek.

OK, one of the stories up today is that Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has been denied access to the fenced in area of the World Trade Center site. The word on the street is that it was due to security and construction concerns. I imagine security concerns refer to his security and the nation’s. Letting him there sets him up for any type of assassination attempt, which could lead to big trouble for our country.
I know people think Ahmadinejad is the man controlling things, but they would be wrong. The structure of the dispersion of power in Iran and its constitution leaves the presidency with far less power than one would think. The Supreme Leader actually holds more power than the presidency.
Just a little something to think about.

Today I wound up the yarn I dyed Monday. I am seriously adoring the color. It is yummy.
I also did something else. I did a little online shopping for a game system. I had gotten a lead on warehouses getting them this week and so I have been on the hunt. The stores were due to get them Friday night so I was worried that I would have to be late getting the kids for AJ’s birthday breakfast in order to acquire one. Fortunately, I was diligent enough that it paid off and I acquired one around noon. Go me. I didn’t even have to pay an arm and a leg for it.
In other news. I’ve finally done it. I turned Josh into a Doctor Who fan. At least the new Doctor Who. I started by watching it while he was brewing and he started getting into the episodes. So, now we have started from the beginning of the 2005 episodes and will work our way up to the end of this season. Unfortunately, this will have to tide us over for a couple of years due to David Tennant’s stint with the Royal Shakespeare Company. I think we will survive. At least there will be Christmas Episodes and a couple of one offs. I suppose I could try getting Josh addicted to Torchwood. I’m not as fond of it as I am the Doctor though. That can change.

Yeah, my cat is a freaking holy terror. The vet tech thought we were kidding when we warned her. She was a pushy older lady. The vet said she might be willing to drive here to the house if we can’t get her sedated on the meds she was given today. The last ones caused a seizure, so we’re hoping to have better luck with this stuff. She got her little pills for her asthma. If we can knock her out, they can look at her a little better to see if she might need a different course of treatment. Whatever works.
My little terror. Think Godzilla, in a cat suit. Yep. That’s her.
Update: We just discovered the stuff they gave us to sedate the cat is a freaking opiate. They should just have us make her have some poppy tea and milk. She’d drink it.
