Hello, 2008

For those as might wonder, I buried Samantha out back under her favorite tree to hide under when the furry little sneak would get outside. Silly kitty, she was. Ranada's upstairs right now, having a massive guilt buffet over it all. Yeah, we screwed some things up in her care, none of which I care to discuss here, but we did a hell of a lot right and we've got two other fur folk to take care of. We loved her enormously, and she very obviously loved us.

Moving on.. that's what it's all about, isn't it. In about five months I'll be done with my Computer Information Services degree at DeVry. I'll be able to make decent money for the first time in my life at that point, especially if I tack some Microsquash certs onto it. After that, who knows? There's a certain purveyor of brownies down in Austin and her Eowyn kitty plus hubby to be who's determined I'll hang my hat in Austin. I must say I'm sorely tempted. I mean, how can you not love a city whose official motto is "Keep Austin weird", plus being one of the birthplaces of The Church Of The SubGenius as well as being home to the world's only Rutles tribute band?

In any case, time to get this day started. There's 366 days of potential ahead and I intend to waste as few of them as possible. The White House will be up for grabs again and I can sense my political self stirring in his nest. There's a big ol' year out there and time to get after it. Love ya, ya bums.

PRAISE MOTHEREFFING BOB!

Yeah, but the way things look right now, there's no candidate who looks to have a decent chance of being electable who isn't a wanker. Except maybe, just maybe, Barack Obama, assuming that his declaratons on the campaign trail bear any more than coincidental similarity to what he'd actually do once in office.

I am so sorry to hear you lost Samantha. I have no doubt she will be waiting for you across the Rainbow Bridge.

Have a Happy New Year, my friend. May it bring you health, wealth, and much happiness.

I shall add my efforts to those of the Goddess of Brownies. Austin's a nice city. Come explore, eh? One or the other of us is bound to be able to put you up for a weekend!

Try not to be too hard on yourselves about Samantha. No one is purrrfect. She knows that. She got to be home with loving family when she went and that is not nothing.

Mind you, I say this as someone who's never quite forgiven herself for not taking a moment to explain something to people I'm pretty sure stole my first cat - thinking that they were rescuing her from an evil person no doubt... Bastards. Guess I haven't really forgiven them either...

Thanks, Ryss. *sigh* On another subject entirely, does the drwhochat gang still gather on IRC at all?

Hey Doc. If you need study materials for the Microsoft stuff, let me know. I can be of assistance....
