Dominance of the Cat Condo
Elms is convinced that the cat condo we got for our birthday is for her... only! I mean, the dimensions of the attachment so resemble her own that it's hard to believe that anyone else was really meant to sit in it. That said, Minds and Ceebring continue to assert themselves on to Elms' territory; as such, Elmo has taken to sitting on any "intruders" as though they weren't there.

Fur Free Juicy
PETA has had a cooperative relationship with Liz Claiborne Inc. for many years. Through our work together, the company has made—and continues to make—many great strides to reduce the suffering of animals who are used and abused in the clothing industry. We would like to share an exciting development that has resulted from our discussions with Liz Claiborne Inc.: Juicy Couture—a high-end clothing company owned by Liz Claiborne Inc.—has now adopted a permanent fur-free policy. While Juicy Couture is still selling some fur items that were stocked before this policy was adopted, it has assured us that no new fur items will be procured and that as soon as the current stock of items has gone, the company will be completely fur-free.

My plan worked!
I have been employing my most sophisticated methods of sneakery in order to always be "borrowing" Mat's Nintendo DS whenever he might otherwise be using it. As of Oct 11th, 2008 I have my own Nintendo DS, equipped with Mario Kart and all! Also, I was so excited to learn that you can play with another person who has a DS such that you can both work on the same NY Times crossword at the same time! Yes, even in my video gaming I manage to be a total nerd:(
Space Ice Cream
For me, the world comes down to two types of people: those who recognize the delicacy that is "space ice cream" and those who don't. Actually, there's a third group that I shutter to even mention - those that confuse "space ice cream" with the equally as satisfying, albeit far less amazing, "ice cream of the future" or "dipping dots" if you will. I, clearly, am a card holding member of the first group - those who would go to great lengths (i.e. space) to get space ice cream. As such, I was overwhelmed with tears/proclamations of disbelief when I was given the pictured treat for my birthday.

I swore I wouldn't be one of those people to blog about their cats...
