a wolf angel is not a good angel

I forgot what happens when one gets new glasses. I need to lie down.

Oh, look: more places to visit (but a weirdly limited set, I’ll need to ask about this). And a hey, you may well be able to afford the nice place that you think you don’t really like enough (crowded kitchen, weird layout). It’s supposed to have an open house this week, so I will go open house it on Sunday. (Again.)

No word on the other places I’d seen (and liked better). This is all so confusing. I want to sleep, but instead I will watch TV.

And, irrelevantly, argh, Trump is so sexist: Miss Universe for the only female finalists?

You scored as Existentialist. Existentialism emphasizes human capability. There is no greater power interfering with life and thus it is up to us to make things happen. Sometimes considered a negative and depressing world view, your optimism towards human accomplishment is immense. Mankind is condemned to be free and must accept the responsibility.

Somewhat surprised by the materialist part, but not with much else.

via pretty much everybody else, by now.

• My back hurts;
• my neck hurts;
• my stomach hurts;
• I’m crying at plays, tv shows and the more-than-occasional commercial.

And now Matilda seems to think that I’m going to let her outside again. No way, not even if she’s really cute and eats part of my oatmeal square.

has returned.

Lest anyone say anything to me about this being the risk one takes with an indoor/outdoor cat, I will mention that I worked very hard at keeping her indoor only for a year and a half. This required keeping every door and window shut, constantly, and learning ways to enter the house with groceries or luggage while not letting the cats escape. And when either of them did, they didn’t do that “oh! the world! it is huge! scary!” stuff some cats did, they went and explored for hours. Events conspired, eventually, and I gave up trying, because it didn’t work. I am hoping that if I move to a not-ground floor place, they will stay inside, but it seems unlikely.

I really wonder where she got food for the past two days. Or maybe I don’t wonder so much.

When asked by a reporter if friendly comments yesterday by Deputy Prime Minister Anne McLellan about Stronach’s “great shoes” were also sexist, Bulte said it isn’t the same thing.

“She has great shoes. That’s not sexist. . . . Let’s not confuse style with sexism.”

“Being called a whore, a dipstick, is different than being told that one has fashionable shoes.”

So Belinda Stronach has crossed the floor, reports every news outlet in Canada.

There are the obligatory countings of the votes for the budget in every article, but mostly they seem to focus on her (now currently ex) relationship with Peter MacKay, the deputy leader of the Conservatives. Is this *really* the only thing to discuss in this story, instead of, say, the creeping rightwingism in the party, or the sexism, or what this will mean for the two parties now?

Matilda is still not back. This has been 48 hours she’s been outside (almost 24 since someone last saw her), which is usually the outer limit for her expeditions.

Tonight I went to see Long day’s journey into night: that was bleak. With, oddly, 4 completely different accents for each of the actors. And, though the French are indeed also Catholic, ‘the old country’ was probably not Quebec.
