Some of you who know me know that I have a fear of bridges.
Until today Scott thought it was because I actually had a fear of falling into water...
Nope. My fear stems from a fear that a bridge that I'm on or under will collapse.
Front page of the newspaper today - in a town not far from here an over pass collapsed...

I feel for you. I'm afraid of bridges, too. And heights. I used to be terrified of flying. But I learned to control those fears, mostly. Some bridges are just built as torture instruments for people like us. I remember a particular one in Lima that I almost had a nervous breakdown on.
tex13:
Wow good luck. Right there with you. Sometimes when stuck in traffic I end up on briges in Dallas, and you can feel the bridge vibrating under you. Freaks me out.

Somebody put Satan in my kitty.
She is finally flea free, so we were going to let her sleep in the bedroom last night. Rather than sleep though she wanted attention. All fucking night. Everytime I'd be on the brink of sleep she would crawl up to my head and either attack my nose or meow at me. I gave up at 6am and put...

So this week we're talking to doors are we? I'm getting a bit
worried about you now. What exactly are you putting in that
granola? Hope you sleep better. I probably wouldn't sleep either
if I had a kitty attacking my nose.

I made homemade granola last night. It's very yummy (and very cheap to make...) The kind I made was maple-pecan-cranberry. I'm thinking of picking up some dried cherries to put in another batch... maybe cherry-honey-almond...
It's very hard to blog just now though, because the kitten likes to sit on the keyboard... She has already said hello you ya'll a couple of times. She's chasing...

Sounds like a sweet cat. That granola is making my mouth water, will have to try making some myself.
nuadventure:
Your granola sounds yummy. You'll have to share the recipe.
And a big hello to the kitty sitting on your keyboard.

Found a new way to bond with the kitty...
I loaded up notepad, maximized it and wiggled the mouse around while she chased the cursor on the screen
She's pawing at the words right now as I type them too. It's very adorable.
She also walks on the keyboard alot, so it I suddenly become incoherent that is why.
She seems to be fascinated by...

I took my kitty into the vet today. They said aside from the fleas and a rather nasty case of ear mites she's completely healthy. They gave her her shots. (And they were nice enough to take her away for that so she wouldn't be mad at me for it.)
I have some new drugs for flea treatment. I hope that we get those bastards....

Stick it to them damn fleas and mites! ARRR!!! biggrin

You will probably find out about those claws when you put the ear mite medicine in.

FUCK! Fleas!

In other news Maggie, the non-fictional kitty, got her first bath today (and then sprayed and collared) and she behaved very well once she resigned to the fact that I wasn't letting her out. I thought getting into the tub naked with a kitten (who is not de-clawed) would be a bad plan. She didn't claw or bite me at all. She splashed...

So kitties do exist, after all? Who knew.
speedphreak:
I went down to complain that my postal person never picks up mail from my storage facility unless she's got something to deliver. I was informed that she doesn't have to, all she has to do is deliver the mail. Most will pick up if it's there or if they pass by and the flag is up but it's not a requirement...

My kitten is an attention whore.
We're going to get along great.

Glad your "fictional" kitty became a reality. Kittens are so sweet.

I'm SUPPOSED to be getting a kitten.
I think Scott might be right though. He keeps calling it the "fictional kitten"
We went out and bought everything we need for a kitten last night. I reached for the big bag of kitten food, and he reached for the small one. He said it doesn't make sense to buy the big one if we're not actually...

Give Maggie some good loving.

I'm applying for a job. A career type job with a start up company. From what I have read, this company creates a program that will interpret text and create models from that text.
This relates to the paper I did on Computational Semantics.
Did I lose you yet?
Computational Semantics. I'll break it down.
Semantics is the area of Linguistics (the study of languages...

Fuck yes!

I hope you get the job. You sound really excited.
I for one get really turned on when a woman
whispers computational semantics in my ear.
It's the nerd in me.

So I'm planning a Christmas present for Scott. One of those presents that everyone's envious of. But it's a secret. So I can't tell you what it is - he reads my blog...
I can't wait to tell you all though! It's horribly exciting!
aluminumovercast:
Lucky fuck...

Well now I can't wait...can I have one too blush
