You didn't ask (AND WHY NOT), but hey, here's a picture of the stuff that's currently sitting on my kitchen counter.
1. Letter blocks spelling "COY," "PEEKIE," "FOAM," and "RIM." The purpose of these letter blocks was to spell out the phrase "YES I COME FROM IKEA," and display it on my entertainment center, because seriously, for few months, every new person who walked into my apartment would say, "Hey, is that entertainment center from Ikea?" And I'd have to say, "... yes." So I made these petulant blocks - in Ikea font and letters, so there would be no mistaking the situation. But then visitors to the apartment decided that a better thing was to spell other words and place them in strategic locations all over the apartment. I decided to go with a "vaguely perverse" theme tonight, but forgot to put them around the apartment after I'd assembled the words, so that Ryan, heading into the kitchen to get a cup of herbal tea, paused, looked at the blocks, and said, "This is kinda gross. I guess talking about Clooney earlier got you all riled up." Side note: The word CRAM was part of the initial lineup, but that used up too many consonants and I couldn't come up with enough other words. Shame. CRAM is a great word. Other side note: that entertainment center is out the door. I have had it with its giant Ikea-lookin ass.
2. Assorted electrical pluggy and switchy and bulby type things, from assorted electrical pluggy and switchy and bulby projects.
3. New cat food to try on Ned, who barfs up his current cat food entirely too often for us to handle. People have suggested a possible food allergy, but the truth is? He doesn't chew his food.
4. Peeps, leftover from Easter. Mercifully have not found their way into the microwave. Yet.
5. 18 beers. These came in the mail today in a big giant box, addressed to me. Enticingly, there was no note of explanation included, so I turned accusingly to Pluta. "Did you order this?" He looked offended. "Why would I address it to YOU if I'd ordered it? It would say, 'Brian's mouth, Apartment 1.'" Pluta and I spent a delicious half hour imagining that I had somehow won the favor of a Secret (Beer) Admirer, until Zach got home and revealed that the beer was a gift from him. How sweet! So it's not a stalker, then? SHAME! Anyway, I'm pretty excited about the new beer. Thanks, Zach-in-the-box. |

People have suggested a possible food allergy, but the truth is? He doesn't chew his food. OH HEY, my cat does this too! With the horking up of still-recognizable kibbles, mere moments after eating it! What's worked for us is feeding her in very, very small amounts. Like, I scoop her 1/2 cup ration out of the catfood bin in a cup, and dish it out gradually over an hour or so. So her meal has around 4-5 "courses." It's a pain in the butt, but it WORKS. She still gets hairballs, but no more random, undigested vomited kibble. (Oh, and she eats the Purina One Digestive Health formula, which may or may not be a contributing factor.)

Good trick to try, as I also have what amounts to a bulemic cat. Hmmm....will give that a shot.

hey, I meant to call you back, but I've been super busy with work and school. Your voice sounded lovely by the way. Soo, no, it was not the case of AIDS walk signing me up automatically. I signed up on my own volition. Thank you for the concern though. I can't speak for my friend Justin, I'll try and find out for you if you haven't found out already.
Peace.

If I ever mail anything to Pluta, it's going to be addressed to "Brian's mouth, Apartment 1." Good thing CD plastic is reasonably edible and non-toxic.
Why'd you move your skull of Lillian Gish?
I put it back on my shrine to "Daphne and the Pirate," where it belongs.
