I REALLY wish that I'd thought of this argument when my parents took me in for shots and check-ups as a kid. Enjoy the following the video from the ONN. ;)

Buttons: The Update

nobody@vox.com(Katie Dickinson) — Thu, 26 Jun 2008 03:04:15 -0400

From Dan's blog (he beat me to the update-writing punch): Our poor cat has been through a lot in the last 48 hours. Like all of these sorts of stories go, it was supposed to be a regular vet checkup. But after bringing him into the Astoria Vet...

Adding Insult to Injury

nobody@vox.com(Katie Dickinson) — Wed, 28 May 2008 08:38:44 -0400

On Monday I started feeling a little under the weather.....sneezing and coughing. Yesterday, I had a full blown fever and sore throat to add to the mix. This morning I'm still feeling like hell with the above issues, but of course I have one mo...

I was very saddened to hear of Sydney Pollack's passing last night; he was an amazing director and a talented actor who will be sorely missed. Although I loved many of his films, Tootsie has always stood out as my favorite. Below is one of my f...

I <3 DJ BTNS

A few weeks ago, I bought a new throw for the couch and it quickly became Buttons favorite new place to rest. It is quite a soft blanket, and I can completely understand his attraction to napping there. As he was settling in for his mid-morning...

I have to admit, overall my cleaning project went pretty well. There is still a ton of stuff that I would like to do, but I am finally happy that the apartment is dusted, scrubbed and organized. The cat is already getting hair everywhere again, ...

Tomorrow....It Begins

nobody@vox.com(Katie Dickinson) — Sat, 19 Apr 2008 18:59:51 -0400

Tomorrow, I start a massive apartment cleaning. It's going to be a long process and it will probably suck, but it's so very necessary. I'll be updating throughout....probably because I will be venting over the endless mess. The neat freak withi...

Just finished the last episode of Skins Series 2....the last episode for the current cast..... Although the characters had proper send-offs at the end of this past series, I will miss their antics - the stories were great and their acting was in...
