It wasn't fleas, it was allergies.

Now the dog is back on expensive allergy medication and the scratch-fest has come to an end, and the cat who also got a flea-bath for no other reason than that she was around, has a very legitimate reason to hate me.

More about Big Love

It's late so I won't say much.

But I want to mention that one thing I love about Big Love is how close to the perfect the scripting is around issues of family dysfunction and healing.

In the latest episode, Nicki says point blank to her husband. "I get so angry about how we were raised sometimes. I wish I could be more like you." He says, "Well you can't hang on to the past, you just have to move on." To which she replies. " I don't think I can, there's something in me that's damaged."

Memory Tapes - Bicycle

This is the 3rd or 4th track by these guys that I have loved on Hype M. So I think I should go buy the album. I wish I could find Happy Cycling by Boards of Canada then my day would be complete.

Boards of Canada - happy Cycling

Update:Thank you Erin for the track, and thank you windchill for not attacking me this evening on the way home. I swear that was almost pleasant, I think the wind must have been at my back.

This comic just made me feel so much better about my life.

I hope in general people see me as the girl hanging outside their window, then I will feel that I have done right by myself and for humanity.

If they don't, then I guess I will have to work a little harder.
