J! E! T! S! JETS! JETS! JETS!
wow, so the browns are in the playoffs! fortunately the jets game wasn't as nervewracking as a browns game, although we didn't relax until they were up by 25. if the jets had lost, at least the browns had knocked the broncos out of the playoffs, and we'd be able to cheer for the pats who are a fun team. although if they had lost to miami i would have been spared some anxiety time.
incindentally, last night's bruins win was their first 1-0 road victory since january of 1998.
here are a few games simon likes to play with me:
the attack-my-blanket-when-i-move-while-trying-to-fall-asleep game has been quite popular since i started leaving my door open for him. it isn't helpful for me falling asleep, because every once in a while i get a high speed paw to the face.
the above seems to correspond with the sleep-all-day-but-at-2:30-am-go-crazy game.
the watch-me-eat game consists of simon acting like he wants me to pet him (he walks over to my chair, looks at me sadly, and makes some noise), and then when i go to pet him he runs in the other room under the table. when i go over there, he runs over to his food and starts eating.
the sit-on-my-mouse-cable-while-i'm-trying-to-do-something game happens when i use project builder. i think simon would be a switcher, as he seems to enjoy the animations and stuff.
cry-and-scratch-at-my-door-until-i-wake-up has been replaced with some game i don't feel like naming, where he keeps letting me doze off but not totally fall back asleep in the morning. i think it's less annoying, but i can't really tell.
all in all, i get the feeling that having a cat is not totally unlike having a teenager. he'll be doing something he's not supposed to (although with each passing day, there are fewer and fewer places he's not allowed), and i'll tell him not to do it, but he will just stare at me blankly, as if he doesn't understand the words coming out of my mouth, and continue doing whatever he wants.
i am looking forward to tomorrow. i should be getting my hard drive back from ibm, and the betrayal is going to be on.
