"I listened yesterday. It's no reflection on you but I could'nt see where you were going or what you were going for. This early seventies thing did'nt get noticed the first time and you talk about friends of like Dealney and Bonnie who had records out like we're supposed to remember who they are. Then you play this long winded free jazz stuff that really grates on my nerves. And that noise without a beat and sounds like someones being pinched. Then you play a reggae song, I think you called it Dub, to what, be cool? You seem to really fetishize the whole folk thing too which is obnoxious to us who don't even care. I liked it when you played that punk song though. I like Joe Belock a lot." (Visit homepage.)

We have to lock Goblin and Bugbear in another room away from Voltron or he will never get to eat. Which is fair play since when he was young we had to feed him in the bathroom to keep him from stealing the older cats' food. Goblin's crazy. He knows how to open the door, so we have to jam it shut, and it's like a horror movie with the handle rattling while he presses his face against the glass.

Oh that's hilarious! Erin spent months trying to turn the door handle of the bedroom at night. She even moved a drawer unit (light plastic) to the door so she could perch on it and get better leverage. The only thing stopping her is the fact that you need to forcefully lift the handle as you close it to snick it shut, she simply doesn't have the strength needed to unsnick it.

Ah, the food bullies. Harvey's sister Pooka is a food bully. Harv's routing includes him walking away from his plate and me following him as he moves to two other coordinates within the apartment. Pooka is fully aware of this behavior and will run to an unattended bowl to vacuum up some food.
