Crazy Saturday

[angelchicken]

Yesterday was a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day.

For Peekie.

For any day that involves not only a trip in the car but also a veterinary destination is a giant FAIL in the books of life.

And yesterday was particularly bad. For Peekie suffered the indignity of carriers and shots (my god the shots) and claw clipping and and being gassed and blood work and, yes, yes there was anal expression.

Not good at all.

Needless to say she spent the rest of the day seriously pissed at me.

(I can be okay with this now because she seems to have gotten over the bulk of her fury).

I, of course, documented her rage for all to see:


Quiet rage.


So you see what I mean.

Lucky for her (and by her I mean ME ME ME!) my boyfriend is made of win and drove us to the vet so we didn't have to take the train which would have added an extra (loud) layer of trauma to the whole day.

As it was, she didn't speak to me for most of the day. When I would go to pet her she would do this:



She wouldn't even purr if I pet her!


And then, if I called her - with love in my voice! - I would get this:







Clearly it was a difficult morning for all of us.

Peter has been sick all week and I have been running around like a headless chicken and yesterday the exhaustion just caught up to me. The vet was horrible (I was almost in tears at one point when the vet was checking out her teeth. And the hissing! It was awful) and the week was just a challenge.
We were going to go to a party a few blocks away for a few hours but, truthfully, I didn't have it in me. I mean, the thought of putting on lipstick was almost paralyzing.

So instead we sat on my couch all afternoon and watched season one of How I Met Your Mother (which, come on, of course I bought).

Why AC, you may say, how delightful! Which episodes did you watch?

No, no. When I say we watched Season One, I mean we watched Season One.

It was legen - wait for it - dary. Also, we may of watched "Slap Bet" from season two (duh, of course I got that as well) because how could we not? Robin Sparkles! Non-pixelated Robin Sparkles!

So, yes, while I will try to hold out it is entirely possible that I will watch all of season two over the next few days.

I know me, you see.

BUT!

Before I do that I have a substantial amount of dishes to do (all from the last two days! WTF?) and I have some cooking and salad making to do *and* I have some cleaning and cat-cuddling to do.

But yesterday was pretty darn fantastic. Especially as it started with this:



If you can't see what's in the picture, it's okay; there's nothing wrong with being a Muggle. I just happen to not be, clearly, because I have the proper reading material.
And a kick-ass fella.

xoxo and please cross your paws for good blood results for my Sweet Babboo.

Awwwww, poor Peekie. But I'm glad she's recovered her equilibrium and my fingers are crossed for good bloodwork. Also, hurray for the perfect car-having boyfriend.

[angelchicken.livejournal.com]

Thank you for the kitty-love. She needs all the love she can get, having such a cruel, caring human who does terrible things like make sure she's healthy.

And thank goodness for Peter! He's a supastar!

Thank you for the good vibes.

::scritches Peekie:: (It's safe now, right? She's not going to open a crabby eye at me?)

I'm glad that's past you now. Will think good thoughts for the bloodwork.

Also, YAY HIMYM.

[angelchicken.livejournal.com]

HIMYM is made of win.

And she, I'm sure, will give you so much love as you are lovely and loving. I, on the other hand, am terribly cruel and horrid.

thank you for the healthy vibes.

Wow, that is a cat who knows how to give the cold shoulder. I'm actually quite impressed with her tactics. And here's hoping that all is good. Though, with her in that state of fury, I'm nearly sure that it is. She wouldn't be that indignant if she felt there was a reason for the doctor.

I watched "Slap Bet" yesterday, too! Just 'cause I felt like seeing Barney and Marshall getting slapped around. Also, now that you've seen S1, isn't "The Pineapple Incident" a near perfect half hour of television?

[angelchicken.livejournal.com]

Though, with her in that state of fury, I'm nearly sure that it is.

Word. She's all, I'm not sick you stupid human! I'd be just fine if you FED ME!

Which I did. Because I'm not above bribery.

Dude, "The Pineapple Incident" was brilliant (also, WINNIE!) but I keep remembering and loving "The Duel".

And when Barney makes Robin an honorary Bro. That, my friend, was AWESOME!

[dionneshea.livejournal.com]

Oh, my God, The Duel. I have Lily issues, which I am well aware are directly related to my Alyson H. issues, but she was brilliant in that ep. "On Monday I'm going to have to tell my kindergarten class, who I tell not to run with scissors, how my fiance ran me through with a broadsword." "Technically, it didn't go all the way through." "I'm sorry, were we having a discussion about the degree to which you stabbed me?"

And "Zip, Zip, Zip" fills me with shippy happiness. He's just so wonderful and sweet with her, especially after she reveals she still has feelings for Ted. *dreamy sigh*

[angelchicken.livejournal.com]

ah, see, I love Marshall and Lily. I *LOVE* Marshall. I was almost crying at the end of the season finale when he's sitting on the stoop holding the ring.

And I like them together, I have to say.

And I like Ted, but I think most of my "weakest character" feelings are directed his way. I just don't like him all that much. though I think he does a good job of holding the show together (It's hard, I would imagine, to be the lead of an ensemble and play a normal dude without having balance issues, if you follow). He's good, he's just not my fav. Possibly because he's so very much like people I know.

And OMG! I LOVE THAT THEY SEEM TO LOOK LIKE REAL PEOPLE!

Robin! Thin, not emaciated! Victoria! Same thing! And they wear clothes I would also wear! I mean, Aly is the skinny one (and she is tiny which, how funny when she's in St. Cloud?) by far and NONE of them are fat but they all look so normal.

It's refreshing.

Also, Barny before he bacame Barney. ZOMG I almost died.

Okay, I have love.

[the-lbb.livejournal.com]

Okay, I only watch the show sporadically, but I just want to jump in here & add that in addition to Ted being the "normal guy" in the ensemble cast, technically the story is being told by him. So, unless is is an extreme narcissist, it make sense (to me at least) that he would be the weakest character (which I agree, he is), because he is telling his kids about his wacky friends back in the good 'ol days.

Poor Peekie! But it's for her own good. My fingers are crossed!

Is that a stuffed Monster Book of Monsters? At first I thought it was a cake decorated like one and was totally blown away. I have no idea why I thought it was a cake, though.

And in closing, you are adorable.

[angelchicken.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I need all of the crossed fingers I can get- for the blood tests, sure, but also that she loses the last little fiery ball of rage she is nurturing in her (not so little) kitty belly.

It's there, oh I know it.

And it *IS* a Monster Book of Monsters! Peter gave it to me in a box with holes poked in the side and I was all, "Ha! It's like the Monster Book of Monsters!" and it was!

Pretty darn awesome, I must say.

And now I want a MBoM cake.

That would be nothing but win.

=D

shadowlass> Is that a stuffed Monster Book of Monsters? At first I thought it was a cake decorated like one and was totally blown away.

Hmmmmmm...

If i may, i think these might be more informative photos of what the book looks like:


Also, one of your photos is sideways. Just thought you should know.

By the way, i love your posts. They are so -- how do you say? -- brilliant. Which is a funny thing to say because anyone reading this comment has also read far enough to see how brilliant you are.

And now, a song, for all your commenters who might not have heard it yet:

There's a ton of awesome performances of this out there, but i like this one because the guy really seems to be having fun. Here, one more rather comprehensive video:

Yeah, I saw that. It wasn't sideways when I opened it up in my image capture thingee, but it, for some reason, uploaded that way.

I just like to think that Peekie defied gravity when I tried to pet her. When she gets pissed she gets *pissed*.

They are so -- how do you say? -- brilliant.

Dude, you just made me grin like a crazy grinning fool!

And yesterday was pretty fantastic (other then the cat-related parts that were full of misery and anger). Thanks for being there with me.

*MWAH*

Aww, poor Peeks. I hope she is well! I'm glad to see your impulse buying and sudden obsession tendencies are just as strong as ever. It's why we love you. Enjoy!

[angelchicken.livejournal.com]

I shall never overcome my impulse buying and sudden obsession tendencies! NEVAH!

and Peekie hates me but she will be okay, damn it.

Also, HI HI HI! How are you? How is your fella? Did you go camping this weekend?

[chicken-cem.livejournal.com]

Oh, Peekie! What a great picture that last one is, though.

[sunbrae.livejournal.com]

Poor Peekie. Hope she feels better.

The MBoM is the best evah.
