Well, I know I'm getting closer to the end since Marcus is up and about after his late night of computer gaming with his friends. LOL

I have a sudden burst of energy. I'm not sure how long this will last, though. Hey, I'll enjoy it while it lasts.

I wrote before about how I was upset about the feral rabbit situation in Reno, NV that one person was blogging for. Though not as bad, we have a similar situation here where I live. The cat population is out of control. There are two women I know of for sure that feed them and encourage them to reproduce under everyone's homes. Several times last night I heard cats fighting outside my window. People have come in and tried to trap them, but the problem quickly resurfaces. The city's animal control won't do anything about them. There are no predators for them since the foxes, racoons and coyotes are well-fed otherwise. In fact, I've seen them hanging out together. It's sad. They're a real nuisance.

Man, it's taking me forever to churn out a tiny post.

My mind said buying Coke when I haven't had much in a while would be a bad thing. Why, Oh why do I not listen to my little inner voice?

One final pet in the house that I need to talk about: My lovebird, Kane.

She, and a parakeet, were given to me by a co-worker that was moving and his new apartment didn't allow pets. I had no idea what kind of bird she was until I looked it up on the good old Internet. Marcus named her after the WWF wrestler than used to wear the red leather face mask. We just assumed it was male until she gave a horrible sqwak one day and out came an egg! I have no idea how old she is. She must've been mistreated because she bites! I'd love to let her fly about, but I don't dare.

Not really in the mood to post right at this particular moment, but since I have to, let me tell you about one of my favorite movies: Xanadu.

Yes, it was a bad movie, I'll agree, but it was fun and sappy. Plus it had music by my favorite band, Electric Light Orchestra. It had Gene Kelley in it. It had a mix of mythology, swing music and roller skating. It made me cry. I absolutely loved it.

I used to put a casette tape of the soundtrack on and roller skate in my garage to it. Good times.

Renegade Kosher wants to start an AIM chat room of the remaining blogathoners. I have never, ever in my whole life been in a chat room. I don't know where they are on the aim site. I feel like a bit of a moron. I've IM'd many times through. Oops, nevermind...they contacted me first and I guess I'm in.

Ugh, I've had too much caffeine already. I'm feeling a little ill. I guess I did good in my goal of weaning myself off of carbonated, caffeinated beverages.

One of the goals I want to tackle in the future is being selfless and giving more of myself. I'm seriously considering, once I find full time employment, donating my time to an organization such as Habitat for Humanity. I think what appeals to me about that organization is that the person(s) getting the home has to meet certain obligations to get and keep it.

I'm also going to take a vacation. Maybe Vegas. I haven't had a real vacation since Oct. 2004, and even that wasn't as enjoyable as it could've been because of the whiplash pain I was in.

I am going to learn to knit. Marcus' mom got me the stuff for Christmas. I just need to sit down and do it!
