Cat Diary, Day 746
Day 746 of my captivity. My captors continued to taunt me with bizarre little dangling objects. They dine lavishly on fresh meat, while I am forced to eat dry cereal. The only thing that keeps me going is the hope of escape, and the mild satisfaction I get from clawing the furniture. Tomorrow I may eat another house plant. Today my attempt to kill my captors by weaving around their feet while they were walking almost succeeded.

#define manscaping
manscaping: to groom a man. Shaving, waxing, cleaning up the superfluous fur. Courtest of the Urban Dictionary. A collaborative (think wikipedia) dictionary for modern slang. Found out about this earlier this week on the Rep yahoo group. Since a lot of slang is a bit crude in nature, I don’t have to warn you that this site may offend some of the prudish folk out there. You’ve been warned… I could probably spend all day looking through that site.

Kitty soup!
I got some more of the disposable cameras from the wedding processed. Nothing too interesting aside from a few shots of the cats I took to use up film that I’ve put up in the usual place. Here are a couple of highlights: Merry likes to play in the laundry Spooky likes to play in the big soup pot Silly kitties! And now that my folks have come to visit the grand-kitties (don’t ask… I didn’t coin the phrase), they have all sorts of new cat toys to play with.

#define "prairie restoration project"
I’ve seen a few of these around town. Apparently the park district is spinning them as restoring some of the land controlled by the park district to it’s original “prairie” condition. In practice, I think this largely translates to “um, this is too much work, so we’re just going to stop mowing some of these and put up a sign.” I’ve always found the park district to be rather interesting around here.

Corporate/Government Parodies on the Web
Saw this Slashdot post. A student at CMU made a website parodying the Wal-Mart Foundation (a thinly veiled attempt to improve the parent corp’s public image through small scattered donations) for a class on “Parasitic Media”. Guess Wal-Mart didn’t take too kindly to how they were portrayed, so they whipped out that horrendous piece of legeslation, the Digital Millenium Copyright Act (DMCA). The DMCA’s a vague wording allows large corporations with lots of cash to easily threaten things they don’t like.
