• Me: So I met with [redacted] about [new project] this afternoon.
  • My boss: How'd that go?
  • Me: I think it sucked whatever remaining will to live I might have had after last night's game out of me.
  • My boss: [pause] So about as well as could have been expected, then?

Floating Sheep’s map charting hate tweets, which allows you to search on several flavors of hate, is a creative use of data and mapping to raise awareness.

This should probably be corrected for population density, but boy does Appalachia look like a hateful and backwards place.

Wouldn’t correcting for population density make Appalachia look that much worse?

My cousin has an orange tree, this one came out different.

Kill it.  Kill it with fire.

is that the fucking alien from alien vs predator 

I think it’s a leviathan

Oh, it’s a Langolier.

I bet you could get a lot of money from a strange and interesting plant like that. Best do what it tells you.

I’ve never seen anything like it before.

On the bright side…

…the cats are okay. Vet checked them out, ran some blood tests, and found no evidence of kidney damage. So I’ll have someone to keep me company while I’m lying in bed staring at the ceiling tonight.

I’d forgotten how much harder it is to watch the playoffs when your team’s involved. I’ve never been gutted like this after a sporting event. Never.
Is this how Red Sox fans felt after the Grady Little game? That’s the only thing I can come up with right now.

DEAR TUMBLR:

Unless you really are promoting some sort of “OFFICIAL TUMBLR DIET”, how about figuring out how to block that rather obvious bit of spam from our ask boxes?

samsplace replied to your post: So one of the cats got a bath with Kiehl’s amino acid shampoo today…

Ugh, good luck.

Thanks. Still no sign of ill effects (though she’s usually half-asleep at this time of day, so figuring out if she’s “lethargic” is a bit of a challenge), but both cats are on their way to the vet for an unscheduled check-up anyhow. I expect they’re both fine. It still made for a lousy night, though.

So one of the cats got a bath with Kiehl’s amino acid shampoo today…

Unfortunately, that’s where the fun ends. The reason for the bath? My mom sent my wife Mothers’ Day flowers that included lilies. We came home from the kids’ swimming lessons this afternoon to find the one cat was yellow with pollen. Apparently all parts of lilies, including the pollen, are toxic to cats, something we didn’t know until my wife looked it up afterwards. Hence the bath. It’s now been twelve hours with none of the symptoms of lily poisoning, but both cats are going to the vet tomorrow morning just to make sure.

(The worst part of this? Our kid suggested we get rid of the lilies as soon as she saw them. We knew lily water was poisonous, but didn’t realize just how much of a threat the actual plant posed. We should have just listened to her at the time and saved ourselves a night of worry.)
