Went to see a movie. I picked the known least popular showing for the university's foreign film series. This week's was Shoplifters.

You know what anime needs more of? Cat armor. (yes, this guy's armor is literally a cat that stretches out and wraps itself around him) #ElHazard

Another online order came in today. This one is for enough stuff going far enough away to verify that the system is correctly detecting/charging/reporting the price for an appropriately sized flat rate box. For those keeping count, I'm now up to 4 orders placed through the web site.

Visiting Dad's cat again.

I have a driveway again. There's no street for it to connect to so I still can't use it, but at least it exists.

Should "I like turtles" be an option on all my polls?

Got a calendar from some place that wants me to buy promotional objects to give away. All the pictures in the calendar are photographs of meat because nothing says "coffee and tea" like steak and ribs.

Got an email today with the claim that, "explaining coffee to water ratio is ridiculously overwhelming and confusing." I tend to think it's more that some people (who want to get consulting $$$) explain this aspect of a coffee brewing recipe in an overly complicated way and the solution is more pragmatic explanations and encouraging people to do some simple tasting exercises, but let's put it to a vote.

Is C:W ridiculously overwhelming and confusing?

Who's a good cat?

Maybe tonight should be pizza night again.

Considering taking the train for my April trip. I can take the Amtrak Empire Builder route from Chicago to Portland over the course of a couple days, see some good scenery, and I've never done that long of a trip by rail so it'll be a new travel experience for me.

Punk is a good cat. Tonight she wants lots of petting.

On the lighter side I was getting an absolutely glorious sugar bomb, but also an utter lack of body and too much celery. If I can come up with a roasting plan that boosts the body, kills the celery, and maintains or even further accentuates that sweetness, I've got a winner.
