This trailer is making the rounds, I only post it here because my dad and mom are in Hawaii (LUCKY BASTARDS!!!!) and I just saw this now. I know they'll check this site every few days, and they're both Browncoats. So, here!

Our new kitten, now owned by us for two weeks and a single day. She's just about over her sickness, and is totally hyperactive. The other cats just can't keep up to Yuki's internal kittken-engine. ME-OWWWWW!!!!!

With the tensions between Japan and China mounting, fueled by the jackasses in the Japanese Right-Wing party and the deceptive morons in the Chinese government, this article was pretty interesting:

Quote my friend, who lived in Mainland China:
"Any time I wanted to learn how to swear in Chinese, I would ask someone what they thought of the Chinese Government, or else Japan".
So we got a kitten on Friday. A cute, small white kitten we ended up naming Yuki ("Snow"). She's a really cute, loud, energetic stinky thing. Filled with spirfire, energy, worms and diarrhea, we've been having to give her medicine for a couple days, and making sure she doesn't crap on everything (she's toilet trained, but still... the diarrhea).
I'll be posting pictures in a bit.
Man, I'm pretty drained. Spent a half-relaxing half-not-relaxing weekend lounging around the house, engaging in other projects and jobs that I've been behind on (web stuff mostly). Finding it hard to be able to keep up while trying to rest on the weekends- Almost every weekend for the past 3 weeks I've come to Sunday night feeling like, "If there were just ONE more day, I'd totally be able to rest". Maybe one of these days I'll take a Monday off. After training, that is.
5 more days of training. Brain is almost full, but I'll manage somehow.
Last week I went from fully on and excited (day 1) to limping along with 20-30% retention (end of day 5). Every night I came home and just about fell asleep right then and there. I think that before I start doing serious "On the phones" work, I better take a day to relax and just recouperate.
Tonight: Doing taxes, finally.
