Off to Oklahoma City to play some Warlord.

We didn’t have a non-electric can opener so we decided to pick one up yesterday in case we lost power during Hurricane Rita. Apparently everyone else in Austin was thinking the same thing because this is what I found when we got to the store:

I feel sorry for the person that was looking for the 99¢ can opener but had to settle for the $6.99 one.

1. Have a natural disaster strike your city and you have to evacuate you and the cat. Do not sedate the cat when placing it in the carrier. Also it would be best if the evacuation would take two days with you having to stop overnight at a place with other cats.
2. Evacuate to a place that has other cats where you have to keep your cat locked up so that it doesn’t kill the other cats (your cat is the mean one after all;-)
3. Leave to go look for a new place to live and board the cat at a local kennel. Do this for a minimum of four days.
4. After finding a new place to live, the place must be a minimum of two and a half hour drive from where the cat is boarded, remove the cat from the kennel and let it stay overnight at the place you evacuated to.
5. The next day drive the cat to the new place, again do not sedate the cat when placing it in the carrier. Release the cat and let it get adjusted to the new place before approaching. At this point the cat should be pretty nice.

If the cat has a relapse place it in a room for about 20 min, the time it takes the maintenance people to clean the air conditioner;-) The cat will now be the sweetest cat in the world and will not want to leave your side. It will even follow you into the bathroom and bug you while you are trying to do your business.

Thanks to Hurricane Katrina I have to re-buy my home office so that I can get some work done. The first major piece of furniture that I need is an office chair. For those of you that work at a computer for more than a couple of hours a day understand the importance of having a nice chair(if you don’t have a good chair you may end up looking like this guy.) I convinced Regan to let me just go ahead and buy a good office chair instead of getting a chair from Office Depot that will most likely hurt my back. Say hello to Mirra.

Where’s the trap you ask? Apparently if I spend a lot of money on an essential item that I need for work it entitles Regan to something expensive too. So say hello to Maple.

It looks like that sorry excuse for a President that we have is actually going to take responsibility for something.

It’s been almost a week since my last post. Here’s a recap of the events in no particular order:

• Regan started school UT today. I am driving her to school every morning, 9 am class on MWF and 8 am class on TTh, because a parking pass is $500 a semester. That price increase from $50 to $75 a semester at UNO doesn’t look so bad now does it;-)
• Apparently my joke about not sleeping on anything other than 800 thread count Egyptian Cotton sheets was lost on Regan. She seemed to have taken me seriously and quested for the perfect sheets for the “Prince”. I am now the proud owner of a set of 300 count Egyptian Cotton Sateen sheets.
• I learned that you should pay more attention when people , especially your fiancée, are talking to you. And at the same time I also learned that “whatever” is not an appropriate response when someone, especially your fiancée, says that they love you.
• I was unpacking my clothes last night and as I was hanging them I realized that most of my t-shirts consists of AEG t-shirts.
  • 4 Bounty Hunter t-shirts (black, blue, green, and red)
  • 1 Dragon Lord t-shirt
  • 1 Warlord Wyvern t-shirt
  • 1 L5R t-shirt

Regan and I drove back from Houston today and she had Lily in her car for most of the trip and I had the cats. We stopped about 30 miles outside of Austin because Lily was going crazy in her car. We all used the restroom and then set out for Austin again. Regan had me take Lily for the rest of the trip. Lily was a little angel. She got out of her purse and slept in my lap until we got into Austin.

Keeping Austin weird! Regan and I are moving to Austin. I don’t really want to call any where but New Orleans home but Austin will do. It reminds me of home a little. Everyone here has been real friendly here, expect for that bastard in Barnes and Noble Cafe, when I find you sir, more like little bitch ass punk, you and my foot will have a nice little chat.
