OMFGYAY! Seriously, words cannot express how great my W00T! is at this moment . . . possibly only to be surpassed by November 11th’s. :-)

So much has gone on recently I feel at a loss where to begin.
I’ll start with the less pleasant news; I’m unable to adopt the lovely Ragdoll kitten I’ve been gushing about for the last several weeks. Turns out my “slight” allergy to cats has grown rather more severe. After a night at a friend’s [...]
Dilbert on Love

I found this immensely amusing — and quite accurate so far as my beliefs on the canine view of our hierarchy of importance:
Birthday Girl!
8/6/2008 – 6:34 pm
Poor Yara’s been neglected here lately in lieu of all the excitement over Tonks. But fear not, fair readers, she is far from overlooked. Even though her birthday was a soggy one that prevented us from park-related activities, she still managed to enjoy herself:
I picked out the obnoxiously noisy “Wiggly Giggly” ball while we were [...]
Weird Error
8/5/2008 – 9:48 pm
Okay, so I just noticed the oddest thing about nested pages here with the newest WP upgrade. My 100 things page wasn’t working properly (when I had used “100″ rather than “one-hundred-things” as part of the link). I’ve now fixed the oddness by altering the link, but I’m not entirely sure what the hec happened [...]
Kitten Cuteness

Nothing new to report; instead I give you the most recent photo of the kitten trio from Sandy:
Happy Birthday, Yara!
8/2/2008 – 7:48 pm
Today my little girl turns three! We had a pretty laid back day, but we did get to the store where Yara picked out a new toy and I managed to not splurge more on Tonks. I’d wanted to take a nice, long walk through Washington Park and let Yara have some playtime, but before [...]
The Tales of Beedle the Bard
8/1/2008 – 9:13 pm
I’ve been waiting for the day that this would be announced, so here you go, straight from JK Rowling herself: The Tales of Beedle the Bard to go on sale this December 4. I love that the proceeds are going to charity a la the schoolbooks.
EDIT: Whoa!
Happy Birthdays!

Happy Birthday to my wonderful grandmother! And also my dear friend, Erica! Hope that you both have an extraordinarily lovely day!
Department of Justice Proposes Vast Changes in ADA
7/29/2008 – 6:35 am
Recently, the DOJ proposed some rather alarming revisions to Titles II and III of the Americans With Disabilities Act. These changes include:
A new definition for service animals;
A significant weakening of the readily achievable barrier removal requirement for public accommodations;
A significant reduction of elements required to be accessible in state and local government facilities;
An exemption for [...]
Tonks!
7/28/2008 – 9:54 pm
After much debate, I finally settled on a name for the adorable bundle of kitten I’m adopting: Tonks. Sandy informs me that not only is she eating quite well, but that she’s more than willing to eat dry food. Rather amazing for such a young cat! (Let us hope Yara will take a page from [...]
Of Guide Dogs and Kittens
7/21/2008 – 8:59 pm
Sandy emails that the kitten is doing well, she’s already using litter and when introduced to food last week for the first time was the only among the three to eat. I replied to say that perhaps the little ragdoll can teach my GSD companion a thing or two.
Though, I must admit Miss Yara is [...]
WordPress 2.6

Just finished upgrading Gentle Wit to version 2.6. Looks like everything went smoothly, but as always let me know if you see anything funky going on.
What They’re Saying
7/14/2008 – 9:19 pm
It’s funny how often the sight of a guide dog turns whatever subject people are discussing onto dogs. Some random things I overheard people saying today regarding a certain GSD include, but are not limited to the following:
“Look how she sits straight up like that . . . so elegant!”
“How demure!”
“She’s got sweet eyes . [...]
