Ok, this is a little complainy

I forgot to post a HAPPY NEW YEAR to everyone and a thank you to all who stop by my little bastion of commentary now and then to drop some commentary of their own. To you I say, "Spank you. Spank you very much."

---

Having said that, I have to admit how cranky I am this morning. After having enjoyed an eon-like three day weekend, I am back at work. So is everyone that had the last two weeks off. And they all feel the need to greet me with a, "Happy New Year!" preface before whatever it is they came up/called to say in the first place.


For some reason this is insanely annoying to me. Everything is annoying to me. Why? I don't know. I *do* know that '05 was REALLY craptastic on more than a few levels, and I am grateful to give it the boot. I was almost relieved at 12:01 AM.

"WHEW. Let's try this again," went my internal soliloquy.

And I don't really know what this is, but it was around the 5th page down on a Google Image search of, "New Year,"


So there you have it. Chickens in front of some tree surrounded in...mustard? Lemonade? (I am specifically avoiding saying pee, because you can't have a complainy post AND discuss pee. It just wouldn't be prudent.)

So, while I am grateful for my health, I am also grateful this whole '05 mess is ovah.


My appologies for the complainy post.


And in a slightly related vein, do you know what the sound of a kitty in heat is? More specifically a kitty in heat being forcefully propositioned incestuously by her brother? More specifically still, a kitty in heat being forcefully propositioned incestuously by her brother at specific intervals throughout the night?


Oh, you don't?

Well, that's ok, because I do. And it sounds like Satan himself came up from the seventh circle of hell and inhabited Hijinx (girl kitty, pictured here with Wilson who, in an odd twist, was a sleeping angel the whole night)

and tried to sing, "You're so Vain," by Carly Simon (I don't know why, that's just what it sounded like), but what came out was Satanic warbles sounding like, MREEEEWWWWW mewwwww MEEOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWRRRrrr!!!!!!! (insert personal imagination here).



Satanic warbles at 4:30 AM.

But I can't figure out why I am so cranky.
