Four Rows

Whiskers

So I learned a fascinating new fact today. Well, I suppose nobody else would consider it fascinating, but I seem to be obsessed. Evidently, ALL cats have four rows of whiskers on each side of their face. I have closely inspected every cat who has had the misfortune to cross my path (okay, two), and have thus far verified this startling new revelation with 100% results.

I dunno why this seems so strange to me... perhaps I just always considered hair to be much more... random. Oh well... I'm a dorque.

The things one learns from Trivial Pursuit... *shaking head*

FarScape

So yeah, we had our weekly Family Dinner tonight instead of the usual Sunday, cuz Mom and I HAVE to catch the first two hours of the FarScape mini-series starting tomorrow night. See, we were pretty hooked on the show when it was on Sci-Fi channel up to about a year ago. I think it ran for 4 seasons. And the producers didn't expect the show to get cut, so the show was left with an INCREDIBLY unacceptible cliff-hanger for what they thought was a Season Finale but ended up a Series Finale.

I wouldn't be surprised if the poor folks received death threats from rabidly loyal fans on the matter. So they managed to make things right by at least finishing up the storyline with a 4-hour mini-series. Needless to say, it has been highly anticipated.

Who's on First

We ended up our night watching an episode of the Comedy Hour with Abbott and Costello... the one featuring their "Who's on First" routine. I don't quite remember how the subject came up during the course of the night, but we were in the mood to see it after Mom and Pop whumped Gram and me yet again at Trivial Pursuit... and Mom happened to have the skit on VHS. I swear, it cracks me up every time... though it never seems to be quite as funny as it was the first time I watched it years ago. I think I was literally rolling on the floor that first time. *grin*

The Cost of Beauty

My day has otherwise been rather uneventful. Aside from a mornin phone yap, I pretty much spent it squaring away my bills for the rest of the month, and epilating. Both thoroughly FUN activities. The bills actually didn't take too long, but I spent about 4 hours over my legs... and I'm still not done yet. I could write reams on the major inconvenience associated with extremely sensitive skin and the culture of hair removal. *sigh* All I'll say, however, is that I intend to seriously look into a new inexpensive professional procedure of permanent hair removal that I've heard advertised recently. I've tried everything else... what's one more shot, eh?

But that's about all I have for today. I'm pretty tired... though my neck and head are doing much better, regardless the 4 hours of hunching.

Until tomorrow. :)
