It's like cow-tipping, but not

I took a picture of my TV when I saw this news promo, then I forgot to watch the news that night. That name lends itself to so, so many possibilities.



The video's here, but I don't think it lives up to its name.

P365 Day 220: "I'm not in your way, am I?"

For once, I'm happy to let Joe get in the way. I'm frustrated with the Interwebs. I'm going to take a step back and hold her for a while.



Blogger announced a couple of weeks ago that it will no longer supporting FTP publishing by the end of March. That's not horrible news; I've been meaning to move over to WordPress for a long, long time, and this is a great catalyst. But it's time-consuming. I want it to look Just Right, and that means spending a lot of time playing with this file and that file. And then, I assume, I'll have to help CFD migrate his blog, too.

I've become attached to Patches, the little bear in the top left corner. The last time I toyed with WordPress, I got rid of Patches and it just wasn't the same. Patches has been with me a long time. I'm going to do my best to keep her around. Anyway, if the blog goes up and down over the next couple of weeks, there's a good reason why: I'm screwing up something or another behind the scenes.

Mom said more snow moved through Memphis last night, but it looks like that rare coastal snow isn't going to make another appearance this season. It's 46 and raining. I like cold weather and winter, but I'm kind of ready for this season to be over.

OK. Time for news, Olympics and dinner. Probably not in that order.

P365 Day 219: Snuggled up on V-Day

Why is Joe-Kitty all snuggled up in the carrier? She hates the carrier. It represents all those trips to the vet when she had renal failure, plus all those 12-hour drives to and from Memphis that she barely tolerated. Maybe she likes it because it's Fred-Kitty's carrier or because it's red instead of green. I don't know. That cat is an enigma.



I hope everyone is having a lovely Valentine's Day, if you're so inclined. Paul gave me truffles and an adorable card with a kitten and a puppy on it. Sweet, considering I'm not one of those women who constantly nudges her husband about Valentine's Day, birthdays, anniversaries and so forth.

I give you all this short Neil Gaiman poem, which makes me a little bit happy in my heart. (Read it!)

Edit: Also this, in case you haven't seen it:

Assume the position

This is the strangest and most engrossing pop-up I've ever seen. I wish I could have actually posted the ad — all the little dudes were animated and did a little yoga pose when you moused over them. I moused over every single one. Sometimes twice. Most of the time twice.



So many of them are in "bend over and take it" poses. Coincidence or pretty close to real life?
