"She had nine black cats and one white, her slaves, with whom she conversed, or read their memories, setting them to discover all the dark secrets of Gondor, so that she know those things 'that men wish most to keep hidden', setting the white cat to spy upon the black, and tormenting them. No man in Gondor dared touch them; all were afraid of them, and cursed when they saw them pass."
I tried to warn you. ;)
You discharged your moral duty, and no blame accrues to you.
It burned. Even though I was not sitting down and watching it, but just had it on the background. There was only one real redeeming value in it.
the girl? ;)
Paper or Kindle?Ouch. Toss up.
Over all paper, but I do love my Kindle.
I'm just not as impressed with Kindle as Nook. Of course, If I was buying for color instead of black and white, I'd go with iSett...I mean Pad. The badger has me brainwashed.

Reminds me of my favorite meme.I used to sing that all the time when I was little, and I'd forgot it until you wrote it... thanks!Down by the baaaaaaay
Where the watermellons grown
Back to my home
I dare not go
For if I do, my mother will say
"Did you ever see a whale
with a polka-dot tail?"
Down by the baaaaayI used to sing that one too!
Did you ever see a llama wearing pajamas?
Did you ever see a moose kissing a goose?
Did you ever see a goat rowing a boat?
Did you ever see a bear without a care?
Did you ever see a cat swinging a bat?
Did you ever see a dog sawing a log?Ah, memories. :)
Laughed/sniggered/snorted (word for quickly exhaling air out the nostrils please?) out loud at this, even without sound. I'll have to look it up when I get on the laptop.

Hmm. Don't remember that. Haven't read the books in like 10 years, though.

I have been without AC since Thursday, June 2. Which BTW was the earliest 100+ day since 1902. Yeah Houston humidity. Went to Home Depot today and bought a 12,000 BTU window unit, and when I leave this complex that sucker is going with me. Hopefully, it will cool this efficiency apartment enough to counteract the high Houston heat.
Oof. Sorry to hear that. Hope you're keeping cool.

back from my brother's wedding! and I think I answered that question for you, Mairkurion. :) Kitties survived 4 days of abandonment. I am now covered in fur...Pfft, I think Yami was pissed when I came over to check on them. Never even saw the bugger.
He can be quite the antisocial jerk when he wants to be. Actually, he was probably terrified, hiding behind a box or some furniture or something.
I'll bet Hikari gave you an earful though! :D

I looked at a nook a few months ago. Seemed nice, but I just want to read books. If I wanted more, I would go iPad as well.

Yikes. Sorry to hear that, especially with you being in Houston. I hope you get your place cooled down soon.

The first leg of my flight is the drive from Atlanta to Charlotte. I hope I don't miss my connection. :)

Still trying to remember the name of the restaurant at that airport that served the most awesome fried calamari with thai-chili dipping sauce. NOM!

We like to keep it friendly here. There are other threads (Sadly) for political/religious discourse.<Deletes text.>
I don't want to be one who solicits political discussion on this thread, but didn't it used to be allowed?
Occasionally we will spoiler something but we try not to bring it up here, just many different opinions.
Crap, Kruely, I missed that somehow! Is your daughter doing okay now.
She's fine. It was nothing really serious. She just had a gut infection and she's got a sensitive stomach so the symptoms are rather spectacular.

This week my city celebrated a local holiday called “Fat Tuesday.” It’s an ancient tradition surrounded in myth and legend said to honor the inventor of the plastic necklace, Thor “Fatso” McKlintock . Each year members of the Voodoo religion sit on paper mache carts pulled by SUVs and throw beads at people in the streets. As dictated by tradition, passers-by suppress the natural urge to run from things being thrown at them and instead attempt to catch what they can. It is said that whoever collects the most beads will become “King of Tuesday,” making them immune to all misdemeanor laws for an entire year. Many women are especially competitive, and attempt to attract more beads by removing their shirts. (It is a well known fact that Thor McKlintock’s greatest rival in life was Eddie Matthews, inventor of the t-shirt, and thus disrobing is considered a ceremonious gesture of good faith.) In 1967, to help bolster interest in the space program and also reduce the amount of federally recognized Voodoo holidays, Lyndon Johnson renamed the holiday “Marty Graham Day” in honor of the first astronaut to die during a flight simulation. In addition to the traditional beads, cakes baked by astronauts (dubbed “moon pies” by Niel Armstrong) were also tossed during the holiday. Decades later the name has been shortened to “Mardi Gras,” with the once solemn homage to the Haitian pantheon replaced with public drunkeness and unsolicited camera crews.
