DEAD KITTY RAWKS!!!!

Damn, how can a bunch of yarn representing a dead kitty have so much...personality?

On the other hand, I was kind of upset about your liking orphaned keys. They infuriate me.

When you use the word 'orphaned' it makes me feel a kind of pity for them. Also, it makes me realize why I continue to care for them and preserve them for years on end. But damnit, they've tried my patience for far too long.

I was kind of amused that I could become some kind of gratitude killer. Would that not be the worst kind of person? The person who tries to tell you the downside of everything there is to be grateful for?

I've developed this strange desire lately for their to be incredibly specific words for each little thing but what is the word for the person who does that kind of thing? I know there is 'buzzkill' but surely there is a better word for it. There is 'killjoy.' But I have this feeling there's a better one.

By the way you don't have to answer this. Also, I won't do that, I promise!

did you make the thai tuna chili or buy it? it's 8:30 a.m. in the morning and i am thinking about how it would taste.

Ozma, I love the idea of the Gratitude Killer. You should have a cape and crest that says "GK" on it and keep all outbreaks of preciousness in the world in check.

Margie, I bought it. It is in with all the other tinned fish products at the grocery store. It has a pink banner on the label and is in a smaller tin than the other kinds of tuna. It is freaking divine.
