my friend got pretty fed up with me when I wrote out this incredibly long statement in the system of notation we are learning which said "there exists a thing, such that it is a house, and it is in new orleans, and it is called the rising sun, and it is the only thing such that it is a house, and it is in new orleans, and it is called the rising sun."

What the hell, are you guys learning Inform 7 or something?

i dont know what that is. we are learning first-order logic.

...fail to wriggle my way out of doing a Christmas Pet Gift Guide story.

I hate doing these. HATE. Help me out here. Anyone buy anything fantastic or funny for their pets lately?

My mom buys the cats presents every year, usually catnip or some new toy. Inevitably, however, the cats find the wrapping paper the most entertaining part of Christmas.

People buy christmas presents for their pets?

Yeah, this would be the central item in the "Cheap Christmas gifts for pets in a recession" story. But I think we're not going to go there.

Do not believe these liars on the internet who tell you to smear toothpaste on your electronic devices. It does not remove scratches of any caliber. They are liars, these people, liars who will go to hell. I've been played the fool by the internet. And I will have my revenge.

it's very good for cleaning tarnished silver, though.

lion = mountain lion/puma?

Or is the King of the Jungle himself roaming the woods in California?

[theinevitable]

man, it is so sad to me that those guys and wolves are extinct up in the area where I was this summer.

...not that I would have wanted to be camping with a bunch of 10 year olds in carolina panther/wolf territory.

They found a mountain lion track on camp property back in the late 70s, though. Which is pretty cool.

and one of the guys there told me a lion was shot on opening day in self defense...at about 10 feet. He said that was up near seven oaks."

Well, there's one less cat to worry about then, isn't there?

[wombat]

No Christmas presents for those kitties!

To judge by my cat's behavior, the top cat gifts:

A Small Wobbly Stand
Some Cardboard To Sit On, Under, Or Surrounded By
Really Old Leather (delicious)
A Plastic Tub That Some Fresh Mozzarella Spoiled In (also delicious)
A Plastic Milk Jug Cap

We bought her some toys at one point but then we noticed it was pretty pointless because these are things she prefers.

For ours it's the Thing on Top of Another Thing. Like if there's a shirt on the bed, it's better to lie on the shirt than anywhere else on the bed; if there's a magazine on the table, it's better to sit on top of the magazine, etc.

This would all be better than what I really have to come up with.

The cats around my place seem mostly to entertain themselves by making kittens.
