New Lifestyle, New "Lives"

In renewing my posting efforts on my blog, I noticed it was a bit outdated on links and decor. I began an attempt to clean it up, and in so doing, decided a fresh start was the most efficient way in which to accomplish this. So here it is. I will continue to add relevant links, graphics, etc, as I go. Please, let me know what you think of my blog's new, fresh look.

Now on to other topics. In local news, Leeann's Birthday/Karaoke Party was a smash hit that saw almost everyone who attended smashed within the first couple of hours. Bad singing, reunions with old friends and acquaintances, and a few new faces made for a nice mix and the crowd was just the right size overall for mingling. Tim and I had a blast to the tune of a 5 AM departure for home. So Kudos to Leeann for a party that has sufficiently replaced the blight of the last party disaster (Halloween) in our periodically-inebriated collective memory.

In national news, as if you hadn't already been pounded in the face until your nose and ears bleed from the redundancy and repetitiveness, the pope kicked on Saturday. Maybe now the Catholic Church can shake loose the chains of its modern dark-age mantra in favor of a more progressive, humanist approach. Or not. The Penguins don't like change for the better.

Finally, roosters and alarm clocks everywhere somehow misplaced 2:00 AM on Saturday night, so they instead skipped directly on to 3:00 AM hoping that no one would notice. Needless to say, due to rampant oversleeping and snooze-buttoning, today is also known as the unofficial national holiday of Calling-in Late for employees and employers alike.

I like the look of the place, nice refurbishing job. It looked good before too though. Anyway, I agree that Sat. was fun, though I may have slightly different memories since I was not drinking, but total fun none the less.

Aha! A New Nine Inch Nails Video . . .

OK, I know I complained about the blog videos in the past, but I got curious and clicked over to check out the website that hosts them . . . you know, to see what was there. Well, I came across the new Nine Inch Nails video for the song "Only." After watching it, I decided I had to share it with everyone because it reminded me of a music video from the '80s by Aha (sp.?). You know the one I'm talking about--unless you're too young to have seen it, let alone remember it.--it was "Take on Me." Obviously the music and sentiment share nothing in common, but the style and medium of the video have an interesting parallel. Both depict being trapped in an alternate plain of existence visible to and of physical reality, but seperated and sharply divided from it--the inner fantasy world juxtaposed and competing with reality. Anyway, enjoy! (Video No Longer Available) Cheers-Thanksalot!

We call her the bitchpuss for a reason. But before I get to that, a little early biography . . . She came to use a few weeks after our first anniversary at our first apartment, way back in 1999, when Clinton was still president, gas was 99 cents a gallon, and I had just turned 21 and finished my first semester at college. This tiny voice in the bushes outside our apartment building started mewing at me as I headed off to class. Stooping to peer through the bushes, I discovered the tiny furry black source—and she discovered me! About six-weeks-old and all black except for a white star on her chest, she came tottering out of the bushes and straight toward me. I picked her up and gave a little rub on the head, but being that I was running late, I quickly put her back down under the bushes and convinced myself that she must belong to the people in the apartment behind the bushes (never mind that it was vacant). When I returned from class I didn't see or hear her, so I figured her own...
