to all! Any day we all make it to the end of the week in one piece is a good Friday.

Ever see a cat look horrified? It's hilarious. This morning post-shower-and-lotion I absently reached over to pat Danny-cat. She reared back like a scorpion facing a challenge and gave me the most horrified look -- whiskers straight out, ears straight up, lip curled, eyes the size of dinner plates, nose wrinkled... I could practically hear her say, "Mama! You STINK!"

So just for fun I ruffled the top of her head.

Cat-huffing is pretty damned funny, too.

On a side note, between car woes ($3895 for a PART? the warranty expired 2 weeks ago? Are they insane?), homework (couple very interesting seminars this quarter -- history of cold war era tv & film, and critical approaches to tv & film - plus I go up for candidacy in a month - prospectus fun - yeah, I'm insane), work (spring break next week! Yay! Finally time... for the doctor, the plumber, the veterinarian, the housecleaning, the (more) homework, the tax man...) Any friends who were wondering, no, not dead yet, just never home and seldom on-line for fun, only work. Or homework. Or the occasional dip into reading fan fiction at two in the morning when my body's asleep but my brain won't shut up. So, hello!

gack, off to the reference desk now (then setting up the book giveaway table, then sorting gift books, then working on topics pages...) -- bye!
