So Lister has this funny knack for shaking his head at either totally appropriate times or really inappropriate times.  It seems to go in phases for awhile his head only shakes to things that should be yes then for awhile he only does it for no.

So just now I asked him tons of questions.  No kitty shaking of the head just blank kitty stare.  Finally,  I go to leave the room but first I ask "Lister don't you speak English?".  He quickly shook his head. 

Ohh and the Katt spelling is on purpose, I asked Brian how he spells Lister's full name, as I was pretty sure he didn't spell it Cat... I was right, it's spelled Katt after Bucky Katt.  Oddly enough Lister kind of looks like Bucky but I'd have to say Dutchie acts more like him while Lister acts like the dog Satchel :P

News:
Nick Bollea aka Nick Hogan was sentenced to 8 months in jail + 5 years probation + lost his license for 3 years for the accident that left his friend John Graziano brain damaged.  Good.  He's lucky he didn't kill him or himself.  Hopefully he learns something and stops driving like he's on the track when on the road.

Sleep:
Couldn't sleep until 1.  Slept til 8 which is good I guess.  Hate though hours for sleep but nice amount since I haven't been sleeping straight through and it's only been 5 or 6 hours tops lately.  Lister was laying on my chest when I was falling asleep and I pissed him off because my head was some mutant form of pain alien just stabbing in pain almost causing me to twitch when I reacted he looked at me like stop it, I'm trying to sleep here.  Rude cat :P 

Brian/Plans:
Brian was talking about picking up dinner after work, then after we eat going to a 10 o'clock show of Iron Man.  I'm not usually a comic book super hero kind of girl believe it or not.  Just ther Superman ones and now SuperGirl and Batman.  Still haven't seen Spiderman, Fantastic 4, etc and no interest  But Iron Man looks good and well Robert Downey Jr. can usually make even the worst role seem good.  But it's 9:40 and Brian still not home from work with dinner so think that will be tomorrow.

We had talked about Disneyland this weekend as they have the 2fer deal going on and it's only good if you use one by the 22nd and Brian wants to force me to see the Whoopi California thing before they remove it for the park makeover  (if it's not gone already).  So I suspect we'll go next weekend maybe because I'm pretty sure we'll never pay for CA Adventure (unless the makeover is really good, but that will be years from now).  And with the 2fer specials we pay for Disneyland and then during the next month can go to CA Adventure once for free.

Hmm so that means this weekend is dentist (1 filling scheduled, still gotta figure out the others), Fry's,  Iron Man, refill Topamax, and really finish Misi's mail I hope.

Dunno why my brain aliens are so busy lately.  The one that controls sleep is a mess.  Pain  alien a mess.  General brain alien too my thoughts keep getting all muddled up and I type wrong words and yeah... argh.

Brian asked me to reschedule my root canal for next Saturday, so I did.  He was worried that me coughing up phlegm this morning could be bad news, he was apparently worried I'd cough at a bad time and bite the dentist's finger off, heh... I forgot to ask him why he wasn't worried about what could happen to ME if I coughed at a bad time with a DRILL in my mouth.  He was probably worried the dentist would bill him if injured and I wouldn't :P

Managed to get out of robe and into clothes long enough to go get coffee

Came straight home and have been laying around in robe ever since with kitties trying to "take care of me" as I lay curled up crampy, dizzy, and overall blech.  Those of you who have kitties probably know, they mean well but their  idea of helping or taking care of you is not always so helpful.  As Brian put it "I know what it's like to be stalked by the paparazzi, I have cats"

On a positive note it's sprinkling, not raining (we've already gotten something like 3 times the rain we got all of last year).  Sprinkling is nice.  Pouring rain is not.

So dizzy I can't even follow these political shows!  It's not a dizzy like the room is spinning dizzy, it's more erm... ugh wish I would explain, but words fail me so back to being curled up and doing nothing I go.

Politics:
Rumours floating around that Obama would offer Edwards the Attorney General position if he's elected.  If it's true I hope Obama wins.  Edwards could probably just go into the private/non-profit sector and do more but frankly I'm such a strong supporter of his I think it'd be a shame to see him leave Government, he's one of the few good big party guys  we have left who would work FOR us.

TV:
Smallville was new and is getting a bit darker though it had some cheesy moments.  This is to be the last season with Lex and we're running out of episodes... hmmm.  I keep hoping it means we'll move onto the Batman/Superman friendship of the comic books, but I read there are legal issues so we'll likely never see Batman on the series.   Also comic book related, they announced Chloe would become a regular and have since retracted that comment, bummer, I like her.

Paparazzi = Stalkers:
Locally they're finally deciding enough is enough with the paparazzi.  http://video.knbc.com/player/?id=212782
  About time someone considers them the stalkers they are.  Brian and I find it hilarious the papazzari in that video are asking them to get the camera out of their faces.  Also stalking isn't a 1st amendment right, thanks. 

I did it!  Just kidding:
On Sunday Dutch TV will be airing some sort of confession by Joran van der Sloot relating to the disappearance of Natalee Holloway.  He of course now says he lied on the hidden camera confession.  Yeah, I always go around confessing to something I didn't do too. 

For the Kitty Owners:
OMG! Looks so much better than a litter box.  Sadly our apartment bathroom doesn't have a layout where that would work but I want that anyway.  The Littermaid self cleaning litterbox changed it's design from the original one we used to have and now doesn't work very well.

Mijn Favoriet sent me a Christmas card that got here today.  It's a very very sweet card.  More fancy and sweet  than the usual cheesy Christmas card.  Titled May You Always Have an Angel.  Now his hand written letter assures me that while he didn't make it himself, he did pick it out all by himself ;)  So I'm just going to assume it's all what he'd have written  -- well if he were that mushy and not so sarcastic usually.  ♥  He also drew me a Yoshi, though his pen didn't listen to his request to make it red for the holiday, how rude of it, heh.  Mijn Favoriet rocks.  Hmm not to question his motives or anything but I must wonder if he was trying to be super sweet and show off his sweet side via a card... or if he was just trying to beat T in the awwww this is such a good card Ramie will be MY Angel department *smirk*

In other news, went shopping, saw a man throwing things and yelling about how this is America when the cashier didn't bother to tell all of the people in line she'd "been closed for awhile".  Got cute shoes.  Got blonde hair dye so I can go orange again (Brian, oddly enough, likes it better than red while finding it too bright until I shampoo it once or twice he still does think it looks good on me).  Got some bras.  Got the kitties a tall cat climbing post w/ perch to replace the cardboard box lister had been sitting on since it got thrown out once we removed the Christmas presents from it.  Watched the 3rd Pirates movie. 

So tonight Lister had jumped off the couch... Now, first you should know that Lister is not a skinny cat, he's not graceful, he's afraid of jumping, etc.  So when he gets off of the couch it's never pretty.  Brian has his end of the couch always partially reclined, Lister will climb to the edge of the footrest part of the recliner (because it's closer to the ground than the armrest, back of couch, etc) and jump very carefully making a THUD almost every time.  So when he did that and my drink was still shaking and I felt like the couch was moving, I thought err Lister, how the hell could you make it shake this long.  Check the quake map.  Nothing.  Hmm must have been Lister jumping off and my MS (my body sometimes has a weird delay, like if you touch my back 20 seconds after you remove your hand is when it feels like you moved it away, same with those pin prick tests that neuros use in their in office checks for us broken people).

Before closing the quake map, I refreshed it and what did I find?  I found this.  Yup 4.5 quake.  I was thinking just this morning, it is odd we keep hearing more about quakes in other countries when everyone thinks Cali is the Quake capital, but ours are generally so mild they don't warrant mentioning.  In fact they're so minor, I think my cat's big booty caused the shaking, heh.  Brian "I must have been in the car already, why don't I ever get to feel the earthquakes?".

Going to the bathroom to grab an advil, walking out, not realizing Lister teh pukey cat had puked in front of the door, and stepping in it, barefooted.  blech.

Good: I slept on and off for *gasp* 12 hours.
Bad: Still exhausted.

Tomorrow Brian has to go get his contacts.  If we have time I'll go to the post office, if not (probably not) then next weekend.  Also probably will see The Simpsons this weekend.  Oh and Brian's threatening, in addition to contacts, to dye his hair and get new clothes, to see if his co-workers recognize him.  I suggested he shop at Hot Topic, that would surely throw people off.

Hmm why I'll never be a celebrity:
I'm not anorexic
I don't drive
I don't drink
I've never tried anything stronger than pot, even when I could have gotten some for free
I hate having my picture taken and would never go to clubs where cameras are waiting
I don't think I'm better than anyone else

Did I miss anything? :P

Dutchie's being extra sweet today and yet has f00d.  Wonder what she wants.  She even sniffed Lister without hissing.

♥ Ik hou van jullie allemaal ♥

Only half way done with the book...  Though for me, half way through already is way fast :P  I really only thought I'd get through 200 or so pages before considering zzzzzzz.

Dutchie still hisses at Lister if he comes near her or even if she goes near him (as in he'll be minding his own business, she walks in the room, approaches him, sniffs him, then hisses or twice now semi swipes at him).  Grrr. 1 day at the vet for him and now she acts like she doesn't know him, like he's some stranger invading HER home.  He doesn't fight back but doesn't move away either just kind of stands there looking at her like wtf is your problem?

RIP Tammy Faye, probably the only high profile religious type who never made me want to throw things at my tv.

Hmm it's 10 am, I suppose i should try to sleep.  Been exhausted but wide awake at the same time...
