We're in That "Getting to Know Each-Other" Phase.

Aha! A second sighting of the infamous LSA kitty! I was returning from the shower yesterday around dusk. The thin, orange-and-white tabby was sharpening his claws on my neighbor's carpet-covered porch. I let out my best "Here kitty kitty!" and he casually disappeared under the CHU. Not at all deterred, I grabbed a tuna pouch and emptied the contents onto a small, round paper plate. I placed this plate under my CHU and went to work.
When I awoke this afternoon (almost dusk again), I checked the status of the tuna platter. It was empty. Something ate the tuna. I have my suspicions.

Hello Operator?

Can't a girl win? Just once? I promise I won't blow it! Geez.......

I hate Casio. There, I said it. My therapist would be proud. Casio is the worst camera company in the whole universe including that new solar system they found. I have never in my life had such poor customer service. I would suggest that you all take my advice and throw tomatoes at them and yell "Boo!" really loud. Thank you. That made me feel better.

On a lighter note (not really), I may have lost 90% of my photos on my computer because my external hard drive crashed. Yes, if I act depressed, you'll know why. This is a horrible situation! Unless some of the computer nerds here can help me, I'm totally screwed because the companies that do this for business are EXPENSIVE! I mean, I got a quote today for data recovery off the hard drive for a minimum of $1500-2100!!!! Seriously!

Ack.

That makes me think of Bill The Cat. I don't know why.

Chick-Fil-A

I am dipping into another one of my chick flick crazes. Yeah, I know--you don't have to tell me. The only problem is that there is a very limited supply over here. Max sent me a couple DVDs when I first got here that I am forever grateful for. One is The Holiday with Cameron Diaz and Kate Winslet. The other is called Away From Her which is a story about an aging couple battling with the wife's onset of Alzheimer's disease. Its a heart-wrenching story that will leave you longing to cherish every second of your life and the lives of those you love. It also topped my list of Best Movies For Crying which also includes Simon Birch and I Am Sam. Oh yes, go rent it or buy it if you can!
Anyhow, so I watched The Holiday again tonight and began searching the internet for classic chick flicks that I want to see/own. Here is a starting list in no particular order:
