He freaked out. He shed loads and loads of cat fur all over me because cats do that when they're scared shitless. He kept trying to hide and meowed quite loudly when I pulled him from under a parked car.
He's hiding under my bed. I hope he recovers soon. I just wanted him to get some fresh air....
Maybe he thought you were trying to get rid of him. Cat's jump to conclusions like that. Nonetheless, a valiant effort, Meru. |

Wisconsin couple checking out house for sale find homeowner dead in bed
The Associated Press
May 2, 2007
JANESVILLE, Wis. - A couple checking out a house for sale were shocked to discover the 55-year-old homeowner dead in her bed. Authorities said foul play was not suspected.
Real estate agent Linda Chabucos-Galow stood in the dining room while Justin and Colleen McKeen walked through a house Monday night. Before long, she heard Colleen McKeen scream.
"I thought, 'What's wrong?' Maybe it was a dead mouse or something," Chabucos-Galow said.
But then she peered into the bedroom and saw the body of Linda L. O'Leary.
An autopsy determined O'Leary had been dead for two to three weeks, Rock County Coroner Jenifer Keach said Wednesday. The cause of death remained under investigation, but the woman appeared to have died of natural causes and no foul play was suspected, Keach said.
Gale Kent, the Coldwell Banker First United Realty agent who listed the house, said it was for sale "for a while."
Chabucos-Galow said she had noticed a faint odor but thought it was from the mess in the house or the countertop full of dishes.
After seeing the body, she said she told the couple: "'We need to leave. This is not right. We need to get out of here.'
I can't stop laughing- It must have had a view to die for--

It's a bad recording-

I know that here legally the agent will now have to disclose this to all potential buyers. I am glad I don't have to find a lighthearted way to work that into conversation. "Here is the master, note the chalk outline and the high ceilings!" What I get to smell all day.

I have a strange tic with apostrophes. I often find myself adding them where they aren't necessary. It's just one more kind of typo. (If you are not afflicted, be grateful.)

There's a midwestern city near Wyoming? How'd it get past all those crazy plains states? Or did you mean 'me'? I don't need any extra slag. We make plenty here on our own.

Didn't strictly happen today, but yesterday I went down to London and recorded a voice reel as the first step in becoming a voice actor.

speant the morning on another couple of inductions. so dull. the safety message over and over. too much time spent waiting for things to happen. found the place this morning no problem, ironically i was in in once before - my sister's wedding reception, even more ironic, tomorrow is her anniversary. they offered us chilled water. no sign of tea or coffee. the guy doing the first presentation turns up 40 minutes after we were told to arrive, and he is carrying a huge carryout coffee - i was ready to form a one man lynch mob there and then, but i wasn't with me. too busy getting ready to fall asleep. at least they produced coffee before the second induction. and biscuits. and it was short. phew. managed to get lost coming back to the office, since i had to drive through town, and i just don't know this area at all, my normal route bypasses it entirely. oh well. back in. reading email. drinking tea.

Done with school for the next couple weeks. Profuse_Fucking_Around(); Oh, played a show with my Junk Magic peoples this weekend at a local big time Chinatown art gallery. I almost got no pictures but some friends got some snapshots I'm still waiting on. I always mean to bring my cam but I either forget or it's broken from mimicking me when I jump off buildings. I thought the venue was nice (if compact) with us playing that J-electronic/-jazz fusion inside the bamboo garden. Sort of cyber-Zen, Tokyo neon come to Kyoto thing going on. How's Spiderman 3?

Accosted by a random Falun Gong guy handing me a crumpled up (apparently previously discarded) brochure. I was amused that the photocopier cut off the first letter in the left column so part of it reads:
"...based on the principles of ruthfulness , Compassion and Tolerance."
emphasis mine
Is Falun Gong big in other cities? I see flyers and crap all over the place. Occasionally there will be information stands set up. But maybe it's because I live in Chinatown.
