The Holy Grail of Litter Boxes

I REALLY want a Litter Robot!

Yes, just one cost more than my monthly grocery budget -- but I used to have one, and if I had the money now, I’d buy one again. Plus, I used about a quarter as much kitty litter each month with the Litter Robot compared to now (no small inconvenience, when one doesn’t have a car).

How much do I want a Litter Robot? Just watch.

It’s time for me to stop hiding my true self.

I love “The Hills” and still like seeing what Spencer & friends are up to.

Judge all you want -- I’m very secure in my pop culture tastes (or lack thereof!)

YAC* Post: 100 Cats Let Loose in IKEA (*Yet Another Cat)

Let’s kick this weekend off with two of my favorite things combined! IKEA and cats!

(Actually, make that THREE of my favorite things -you can get ice cream at IKEA too!)

The familiar scenario: Walking through IKEA, giddy from the winding orchestrated showcase rooms, yet unable to shake off the melancholy caused by the tangible absence of cats.

Where some people see problems, others see “opportunities” -- in this particular case, an opportunity to let 100 cats loose in a UK IKEA and capture it on film.

Which gives me a fabulous idea for my 40th birthday (next July -- mark your calendar!). I wonder if the San Diego IKEA would let me do something similar? If so, I just have a couple of small requests:

Balloons scattered throughout the store to enhance the festive party vibe
Waiters circulating with hor d’oeuvres (meatballs, natch) and cocktails (so the guests don’t have to navigate through the IKEA maze in order to get a drink)
To simplify things, I ‘d prefer to select the aforementioned waiters to be selected from the following pool of pre-screened candidates: Eric Dane*, David Beckham*, Gael Garcia Bernal, Josh Holloway*, Jude Law, Ewan McGregor, Colin Farrell*, Bradley Cooper* and Johnny Depp (names with asterisks (*) denote those who should check their shirts at the door)
Disco ball and bubble machine in the warehouse (Bonus: get Party Ben to DJ)
Ball pit emptied (and sanitized) then refilled with pom-poms, cat nip and kittens.
Working entertainment systems in each of the living room showcases playing cute/funny animal videos (with a special emphasis on an inter-species buddy theme). Side tables should hold bowls of pretzels, M&M’s and ChexMix
Birthday cake in each dining room showcase
A champagne birthday toast in the bed and mattress display area, followed by a brief performance by Justin Timberlake.
Birthday hats on all of the cats (I am fine with them choosing to bring a favorite from home or to make their own)

On another note: If you don’t want to watch the “making of” or can’t wait to see the final resulting IKEA commercial, here it is:

But the final stunt is when Momoko gets in the speedboat . . . and Lilly waterskis behind.

I love the internet!

A tale of a bulldog babysitter and a lonely primate.

There’s not much more one can say about that.

I Think You Stink

I’ll admit it – I’m in a crappy mood.

Maybe it’s my meds. Maybe it’s the heat. Maybe I’m just scared of walking out of this room and never feeling the rest of my whole life, the way I feel when I’m with you - ooops! That’s Baby in Dirty Dancing, not me! Got a bit carried away there!

Whatever the reason (I’m sure if I spent another couple of minutes, I could list at least five more), I’m cranky and I’m irritated and am not about to take it out on my cats – and certainly not on you. (I love you! You know that! Right? OK – we’ll talk more bout that later – remind me!)

I’d say it’s possible I got up on the wrong side of the bed – only I still don’t have a friggin bed to sleep in, thanks to a combination of careless movers, poor timing, ADHD-procrastinated paperwork, and just overall shoddy customer service from Priority Moving.

So, I’m in the mood to vent. I’m wanting to share some of the frustration that the random dingbats and doody-heads (you heard me right!) are bringing into my life.

Still, I don’t want to turn my blog into a ranting bitch-fest.

What’s a girl to do?

If that girl is me, she creates another blog to house all her complaints and disappointments. (Or some of them, at least!)

She even convinces herself this is a positive thing – rather than sit and stew, she can get it all out there, off that DDD chest that already weighs her down. Plus, perhaps by publishing these atrocities, I (yeah, switching back to 1st person – I’m crazy that way) can contribute to the googlesphere – so that others don’t repeat the same mistakes.

If I can prevent one tourist from choosing the Mission Valley “Resort”, then it’s all worth it.

Well, not really – it still sucked.

But it does feel a bit therapeutic to publicly declare to each
Truly Nolan, Priority Moving, and The Mission Valley Resort:

I think you stink!!!

If you are a cat owner lucky enough to share your home with a cat my guess is your mornings go pretty much like this.

Personally speaking, my feline cohabitants seem to have developed a tag team approach: (“spoiler” alert!) Marley is the master of the gentle, intermittent face-tap and persistent “meow”; Kaya Cher seems to have the other techniques covered, I’m just hoping she never gets her paws on a baseball bat!

Full Trailer for BOTH “The Facebook Movie” AND “The Myspace Movie”

Honestly, with my boy Justin Timberlake in the movie, I would have watched it even if it was just him making Facebook status updates for two hours.

But, I have to admit, the new “Facebook Movie” looks like it has actual potential. I guess one shouldn’t expect less from a David Fincher movie though (one scored by Trent Reznor, no less). hat tip: Digital Inspiration

(I love that the name is not actually “The Facebook Movie” but that’s what everyone calls it!)

More of a retro, Myspace fan? You’re in luck! For you Tom fans -- er, friends -- out there, there’s a movie for you as well! OK, not really, but the Huffington Post shared a “trailer” from Best Week Ever here.

What do you think? Will this be a movie you’ll be checking out?
