Ways To Tell That Your Pet Cat Hasn't Adjusted to Daylight Savings Yet:

• When you get up he stares blearily at you like, "WTF, dude?!? It's too early to get up now." Then he sleeps an extra hour while you get ready for work.
  
• He sleeps 20 hours a day. (Wait, scratch that... That's normal for a cat. )
  
• Instead of waiting for you after work at the foot of the door (literally, I usually have to push him aside to get in), he looks embarrassed while running in from the other room to greet you.

(Confession... I was going to do a "Top 5" but couldn't think of two more. )

Star Wars according to a 3 year old...

The word "precious" comes to mind. I think she did a better job than I could've.

Hysterical! I wasn't in a frat in college, but I'm sure this is exactly how it would've been...

This entry is about my cat, Boo...

Especially observant readers may notice the timestamp from this entry is much earlier than usual. That's due entirely to my cat, who decided that I had slept long enough for one night. He communicated this decision by walking on my chest, which is bad enough at 8AM on a Sunday morning. However, Boo emphasized his point by taking a stroll through his litterbox just before waking me up.

Needless to say, my first destination after the stinky-paw treatment was the shower. So I'm standing in the bathroom waiting for the water to heat up, when suddenly Boo leaps from the counter all the way up to my shoulder. Seems he was determined to see over the top of the shower door.

Now, I don't know if you've ever been naked in the bathroom with a cat perched precariously on your shoulder, but take my word for it, it's not a comfortable feeling.

Luckily, I was able to avoid cat-scratch fever in this case. But it's a perfect example of the unique personality that earned Boo his descriptive nickname... Booger.

p.s. Boogey (an alternate nickname) helped me type this entry.

I found a terrific Webcomic called Looking For Group a few weeks ago...

The comic, set in an alternate World of Warcraft-ish universe, follows the adventures of an elven archer named Cale'Anon who is out to save the world.

Along the way, Cale gains traveling companions who have a slightly, uh, different set of priorities. In particular is Richard, an undead warlock who provides comic relief, strangely enough, in his absolute delight causing as much death and destruction as inhumanly possible.

If you're into gaming, fantasy, and humor, LFG is highly recommended!

Despite the fact that everyone should just know that Homer and Bart's hometown of Springfield, USA is nowhere near Vermont, I haven't forsaken The Simpsons completely.

So, here I am Simpsonized...


Not bad, although I must say that my cat Boo is better looking than Snowball (pictured).

You too can become a Simpsons character by visiting Simpsonize Me. Upload a headshot of yourself, and then tweak the available options in faces, hairstyles, body types, and accessories.

Don't know about you, but I'm digging the orange and purple cabinets. Maybe it's time for a kitchen makeover at Casa de DeckMonster.

If you haven't seen it yet, here's the five-second video (via College Humor) that's taking the Web by storm...


Spoiler alert! ... He's actually a prairie dog.

Found a very fun site today: How It Should Have Ended.com. The tagline of the site pretty much says it all... "Sometimes movies don't finish the way we'd like."


As you can see, in addition to the hi-res versions on the HISHE website, there also are versions of the videos here on YouTube. Very funny stuff!

This so reminds me of my cat, Boo...


BTW, PvP is a terrific Web comic strip.
