yesterday, creamsicle was in the tub, but ya know, as soon as i got the camera to take a fresh pic, he jumped out!! he insists on going into the closet whereas he can go sit all day by the water heater! and its a routine now, as soon as i get up, he hounds me about going into the closet...but ya know, i like being hounded by the cat!!!

the catcave....







now, heres something we hope you really like!!
the baseball playoffs are here!!

lets look at the Chicago Cubs, a reliably sucky baseball team. Now that the Red Sox have broken their losing streak, the Cubbies are all alone in the underdog house, having not won a World Series since 1908. In fact, they haven't even been in a Series since 1945, when a man named Billy Sialis placed a curse on the team. It was on this very day, Game 4, when Billy brought his pet goat with him to Wrigley Field and was subsequently removed by security. Naturally, he showed his displeasure by resorting to witchcraft, and Cub fans continue to blame the Curse of the Billy Goat for their team's misfortune.

Do you like to blame goats and/or curses caused by goats for all of the terrible crap that's happened to you? This is just one of the many questions that will be asked by physicians today as part of National Depression Screening Day. Doctors have been encouraged by the American College of Physicians (ACP) to screen patients for anxiety and depression on this day and give recommendations for healthier, happier living. This is in contrast to the other 364 days of the year, in which physicians are encouraged by the ACP to tell patients to leave them alone; they've got their own damn problems!!!

FACT OF THE DAY
The Jazz Singer opened today in 1927. Although the film was not the first 'talkie' picture it was a major landmark and ushered in an era of synchronised sound. Directed by Alan Crosland and staring Al Jolson, the movie made profits of $3.5 million at the box-office.

WORD OF THE DAY
sempiternal sem-pih-TUR-nuhl, adjective:
Of never ending duration; having beginning but no end; everlasting; endless.

In all the works on view, Mariani conjures a sempiternal realm that exists parallel to mundane reality and which is accessible through art, reverie and the imagination.
--Gerard Mccarthy, "Carlo Maria Mariani at Hackett-Freedman," Art in America, September 1999

This is a sempiternal truth for institutions of high prestige. Someone will pay (almost) anything for Ivy-ish credentials.
--Dennis O'Brien, "A 'Necessary' of Modern Life?" Commonweal, March 28, 1997

Finally, Syon's orchards are the world as our imagination would like it to be -- not wilderness, since orchards are after all planted and cultivated by farmers, but a sempiternal and ideal region of the mind.
--Thomas L. Jeffers, "That which sustains us," Commentary, June 2002
