10:06 am	U.S. Military Statistics More women than men dismissed from military for being gay. All the services kicked out a disproportionate number of women under the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy, according to Department of Defense data obtained by the Palm Center at the University of California, Santa Barbara. The center studies gender and sexuality in the military. Thanks to cruisedirector for her timely link to Jon Stewart skewering President Obama's failure to make good on his promise to abolish DADT.

10:59 pm	Oh, and one more thing... Rick Warren quoting the Shema in his invocation? Made me want to throw up in disgust. Hearing what is perhaps the central prayer of Judaism quoted by someone who promotes hate is deplorable. Please don't tell me his use of it was "inclusive", because that's absolute, utter bullshit. In other news, I am feeling ever so much joy over the rest of the day. Current Mood: aggravated (3 Comments |Comment on this)

4:45 pm	Promises, Promises and a Mystery Solved I suspect that our meteorologists are the same folks who write phallic-centric personals in Craigslist with promises of 10 inches, but only delivering 3 inches.  *snorts* The big blizzard of January 2009 turned out to be an impotent flop.  NOT challenging at all.  No survivalism, no running out of bread nor milk, no melting of snow for cold showers, no neighbor's pet roasting, NOTHING.  Just a bright sunny slightly snowy day today. ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ In other things, I've been working on the mystery of why the toilet seats are frequently wet when I sit down on them.  Needless to say, this has made me a VERY CRABBY HEL.   After a thorough INTERROGATION of all the man-boy-types in this house, it was determined that all of them lift the seat (we're working on the putting-it-back-down-after-you're-finished part, since it's almost as horrible to sit on the cold porcelain in the middle of the night as it is to sit on a wet seat). Then WHO was leaving a wet toilet seat?!  Turns out that that the scoundrel was all three of the cats, but mostly Lyra.  The boys are tall enough to stand on the floor and lean in to drink the toilet water, but Miss Pretty Pretty Princess is not so long and must perch on the seat to lean in and drink.  Since she's not that limber, she has to brace her two front paws inside the bowl, just above the water line, but they must slip and she ends up with wet paws, hence the drops left on the toilet seat when she dethrones. The funny thing is, I am absolutely certain that Pumpkin and Lyra learned it from Snape.  We had Pumpkin for seven years before he did this, beginning about a year after we got Snape, and Lyra didn't either until about 6 months ago (year after we got her).

9:21 pm	snow! Snow! SNOW! Seven inches so far! The dog bellies are only about 5" off the ground, so they are NOT happy.  :) The cats keep wanting to go out of various doors, hoping to find an exit that doesn't have piles of that cold, wet fluffy stuff.

9:32 pm	Weekend Wind-Down Tropical Storm Hannah whipped through here yesterday.  We had torrential rains all of Saturday night.  No trees lost, just a few big branches we might be able to drag by hand into the woods.  Sometime early Sunday morning we lost power, but that only lasted a few hours.  The rest of Sunday was dry, cloudless, and sunny - as if there never had been a storm if you ignored all the downed branches and leaves all over the roads. In other things...How would you like these neighbors? We've got bobcats in CT, and my old neighbor swore one lived in the woods behind our homes, though I never saw nor heard it. For the first time ever, I saw a black squirrel on a neighbor's lawn.  They're a variation of Eastern Grey Squirrel.  And although the little grey fat bastards (4 at last count) continue to plot the demise of the security system (unteethable metal baffle) on my enormous bird feeder, I'd still love to have a black squirrel join our crew.  So cute!

12:38 am	Where Politics Meets Slash So I was joking with cruisedirector on her journal and said that I wondered if anyone had written any Obama/Biden slash yet, then skipped off to see if I could find it. Hell, someone's already made a COMMUNITY slashing the two of them: joebama, An Obama/Biden Squee Community Wonder how long it's going to take me to stop laughing. Internet, I love you.   Current Mood: amused (Comment on this)

3:25 pm	Must-have Accessory! As found on PC World's list of "Holy Batgear! 10 New Gadgets for Batman's Utility Belt" The timing on this is awesome because I've had more than a passing discussion with a number of flist foks* about toys and tools. I mean, WHO WOULDN'T WANT THIS** Bat Army Knife ?!? 'cause you never know when you might need a snap shackle. * You know who you are ** Squeals She-who-has-carried-a-Swiss-Army-knife-since-13 Current Mood: amused (Comment on this)

12:59 pm	Killer Queen & Noisy Sex Lyra kitty is indeed the resident Killer Queen (*cue music*):  She's on a mole-killing spree that would put Sweeney Todd to shame.  The back deck is strewn with dead moles of all sizes.  Thank goodness most of them are in one piece.  This weekend's chores will include our family undertaker Mr. HEL laying them to rest in the woods. And in things less grisly (sorta), there's this story on how noisy sex gets a man banned from apartment.  Hee! Happy Friday, All. Current Mood: busy (2 Comments |Comment on this)

12:23 am	Random Cat Hunting So daughter and I are hanging out, watching the Olympic Opening Ceremonies, and giggling over I Can Haz Cheezburger pics when the sudden, random, and reckless compulsion simultaneously overtook us: Let's Go To Petfinder.com And Find Cute Kittens!\ Squeeing abounds! Look who we found!  An entire LotR kitty family! Gandalf! Arwen! Eowyn! The begging commenced immediately:  Daaaaddddy!!! As I reminded my daughter:  Water wears down the hardest stone.

11:22 pm	Back to School Shopping (Crossposted from LJ) Had to kill an hour waiting for friends to show up with my middle mammal after a week at sleepaway camp.  The meetup was at a pit of hell shopping mall and where better to kill that hour and revel in Dr. Who and Stargate: Atlantis fanlove than in popular culture mecca Newbury Comics.  Tons and tons of Dalek memorabilia!  Posable John Sheppard and Rodney McKay action figures! Mr. HEL begged and pleaded for this new lunchbox, which made us howl with laughter: Current Mood: amused Current Music: 11:00 pm news (2 Comments |Comment on this)
