Love Cats
Not to be confused with LOLcats, though sometimes they are that, too.
Kittens at rest
At least until they each start zooming around.

Movie Trailers
A run-down of trailers/previews they showed during Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2:
- Sherlock Holmes 2 — Looks amusing. Hope there’s more there than what we see in the trailer, though, since it comes across as a shallow rehash of the first film’s flashy quicks. Will probably go see, unless it gets bad word of mouth.
- Cowboys & Aliens — I plan to see this. It just looks fun.
- Real Steel — If they made a “Rock’em Sock’em Robots” film, this would be it. And … I’m really not interested.
- Abduction — Look, it’s The Bourne Identity, only with an angsty teen. Pass.
- Happy Feet 2 — Kill me. Please.
- Glee, the 3D Concert Film — Why haven’t you killed me yet? How hard do I have to beg?
- The Three Musketeers — A steampunk (musketpunk?) 3M? Well, it’s a fresh way to frame a story that’s been remade eleventy-dozen times. I don’t know that I’ll hit the theater for it, but I might look for it for home viewing.
So 2-3 wins, 2 passes, and 2 eye-gouging-out horrors. Not bad.
Book Review: “Hijinks Ensue, Vol. 2” by Joel Watson (2011)
Hijinks Ensue Vol. 2: My Heart is a Hate-Filled Pineapple by Joel Watson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Hijinks Ensue is a singular taste. To read Joel Watson’s webcomic — daily, in an annotated collection like this, or both — is to enter a straange world full of inside jokes, geek humor, political incorrectness, and idiosyncracies that make one think hanging out with Joel and his friend would either be the most awesome time ever, or leave you awakening, groggy, in an ice-filled bathtub, with one testicle missing and an obscene comic in permanent ink on your chest.
It’s funny stuff, but not something I’d be likely to loan to someone who didn’t assure me they already ready the webcomic.
She’s alive! ALIVE!
Woot!
Almost here …
That’s Kitten’s plane on the tarmac. Where it’s sat for about 30 minutes
now, waiting for a gate. We’re having a few … timing problems at the
airport today.

MiFi is Spiffy!
Portable WiFi hotspot with an unlimited Italian data plan. Makes for easy
tweeting and picture posting, for the whole group. Not an inexpensive
rental, but better than an overseas data plan.
Positively Medieval
Thank goodness we are long past such barbarity.
