Further Bulletins As Events Warrant...

i don't really have a cohesive theme for this post, so i'm just going to say things as they come to me.  first thing-

my family just made the jump from pc to mac, and i'm pretty psyched.  i am currently using the new computer downstairs instead of my lappy.  i don't know if i can give you an accurate description of how incredibly mammoth the monitor is on this thing, except to say that it is bigger than three of the tvs that we have in my house.  that says something.  so does the fact that we have more than three tvs in my house.  yikes.  next-

kirby and i joined a gym together about three weeks ago and i have been going pretty consistently.  it's definitely more than i have ever voluntarily worked out in my entire life.  i say voluntarily because i was forced through 12 painful years of physical education wrought upon me by our wonderful public education system.  i say that when your gym teacher makes you stay after during fifth block to lift weights because you missed class for a college audition, they are taking their job a little to seriously.  thanks ms. pines.  but i digress.  my point is, i actually kind of like going to the gym.  hopefully soon i will have big muscles.  next-

i took my cat to get groomed today and they had to shave her.  she is long-haired and she won't let me brush her, so she was really matted.  i actually have two long-haired cats.  one of them (gracie) loves to be brushed so i don't have any problem keeping her from getting all tangled.  the other one (alice) panics whenever i get near her with a grooming tool so it's a little harder.  the people at the place were really nice though, and they didn't charge me full price because i told them to only shave where the mattes were, not her whole body.  she looks a little silly, but my mom would have killed me if i came home with a totally shaved cat.  next (and last)-

i have just finished reading Watership Down.  it's going on my top twenty list.  i never thought that rabbits could be so interesting or lead such complex lives.  since i've finished it, every time i see a rabbit in my backyard i try to talk to it using some of the (imaginary i'm sure) Lapine language from the book in hopes that it will respond to me.  so far i have only succeeded in convincing my neighbors that i'm insane.
