I Didn't Blog Yesterday?

I didn't blog yesterday. I think that might be my first day-off from blogging in a loooong time! I spent most of yesterday without a computer, as my computer at work was practically dead. Thankfully, there is a computer store next door, and they replaced the power supply and revived it. However, I had to sit in bleak oblivion for most of the workday, hence no blogging. When I got home, I finally decided to do laundry (or was forced to do laundry due to lack of clothes).

I had postponed it so long that I actually did not have clothes to wear to the laundromat. So in the intense heat of August, I went to do the laundry in a matching red velour track suit -- top and bottom. I spent a good half an hour dying from the heat, came home, stripped to my skivvies and stuffed my clothes in the dryer (we have a washer and dryer, but the washer's broken). I spent the evening lounging around, more than half nude -- can you say naked? It was a good feeling, but apparently Nabee did not appreciate my frank attitude about nudity, as I did spend the rest of the evening yelping about, as she nipped my ankles every chance she got.

Yours Truly: ... yeah, I live with my mom, my brother, and my cat. S: Oh, is your cat male or female? YT: Female. S: Is it nice? YT: ...?

I was dumbfounded and at a loss of words. Is my cat nice? My cat's sassy, sometimes sweet, seldom sorry, but always fabulous. I don't think I can describe Nabee as being nice or not nice. She's just a fantastic cat she is, without being held down to the boundaries of niceties. But I felt like I hit a brick wall with that question. Nice?

Got it here.

It's always nice to see an honest politician.

I've been nursing my flu symptoms. They haven't blown out, full-fledged into a crazy viral attack, but I'm wary of it getting out of hand. West Nile Virus has struck California, and there's a handful of people who have come down with the virus, and the death toll, I believe, is already two. Or was it three? I did get a mosquito bite a week or so ago...
