It’s raining right now, and I am amused because my big fat cat, Murphy, can’t stand the rain. I don’t recall it ever being an issue back in my old apartment, but ever since we moved into the house he goes and finds a cabinet to hide in when it rains. Right now he is pawing at the kitchen cabinets – but I’ve actually got them blocked off so he can’t get into them. Poor thing, he just wants to hide from the rain.

Am I the only one that owns a cat that is afraid of the rain? I’ve heard of dogs that are afraid of thunder, but never a cat.

Whoo hoo! It just took a few minutes to recreate my RSS feed through FeedBurner, and now I’ve good a feed with full posts! Whoo hoo!!!

UPDATE: I made some changes. The link above *should* work, but please let me know if it doesn’t!

Thanks to Microsoft’s parent’s primer to computer slang, I’ve finally learned the meaning of w00t. It is slang for “We Own the Other Team”? Amazing. Who knew? (If nothing else, read the “primer” for some good amusement. Pretty damn funny.) [via Cold Angry Lizard]

Update: I prefer the Wikipedia’s definition so much more. I use w00t as an exclamation, and have for years. Props to Michael for pointing it out.

Mike left last night for Holland. Wait, I know what your initial reaction is, you’re thinking “Cool!” Yeah, no. He hates going to Holland. He is convinced that Holland hates him. He says that every time he goes there, bad things happen. The best was the time he ended up having to do a Spiderman routine on the side of a hotel a few stories above a lake.

It is so strange being home alone without him. I didn’t think it would be weird – I lived alone for many years. I’m alone during the day while working at home. But it just feels different. I had the worst time trying to get to sleep last night – I was up until after 4 am. I would have thought I would have loved having the whole bed to myself; instead it just feels empty. A piece of our lives is missing, and I think both Jason & I are feeling the effects already.

I’ll be glad when this week is over. Very glad.

I am quite amused to learn that Paris Hilton’s cell phone was hacked, but it really caught my eye to see that Vin Diesel was among the celebrities listed whose phone numbers and e-mail address information was posted online. Jenn, did you happen to find it? We could give Vin a ring! [via Skits]

(It’s been a long day, I’m easily amused…)
