humans are animals & animals are crazy

It's a crazed nation we live in when people are dying from stampedes left & right. Pull it together, people! Walk calmly and mind your fellow humans around you. What are you, cows?!

Darren sent me this crazy link this morning (the man is a plethora of crazy links I tell you!) about this mad rush to buy cheap iBooks. Maaaan... you gotta read it & watch the slideshow. People are nuts!

Speaking of crazy animals, I took my kitty to the vet this morning - and OMG does he HATE going to the vet. He's totally the sweetest baby boy in his Mama's arms - but you take him out of his safe little home (by of all worst fates, sticking the poor guy in a small carrier - ya, he hated that.) and in a scary big car, and then into some strange office with a bunch of crazy smells & sounds, all to get poked & jabbed by a stranger... he kinda loses it a little. :( poor guy!

He really is a bit of an extreme case when it comes to the vet's... they have to take him in the back to spare me having to watch what can seem like torturing the poor guy. But I totally understand that's the best route, and I'm very apologetic to them that he's not more "adaptable". haha. They say they're used to it, etc. However, they did recommend next time I request anesthesia, so that they can actually give him a proper physical w/o him hissing and freaking out like a wildebeest.

Today he just had to get some routine shots, but they pretty much couldn't give him a physical at all. I still had to pay for it though because they "tried". Needless to say Kazoo is VERY happy to be back home. He was really lovey with me after he got out of the god forsaken kennel of doom. What a spoiled mama's boy. :)

p.s. how awesome is it that I sent 3 Netflix movies back yesterday (in a 2:30pm mail drop, no less) and I got an email this morning at 9am saying they'd received them! HOT DAMN!

p.s.s. One of the Bamboozled authors I work with just wrote a great review on the white stripes show that will go live 8/31 so I'll link to it then - but for now, this is a pretty cool background article on our favorite Whites.
