Two things:

One. The kitten is going to go away. If I can ever get an animal foundation to take him, that is. It seems that they're all full, although one's recording said they were taking kittens of 6-12 weeks (he's at 8 weeks) but then hung up on you before you could leave a message. I'll call them back tomorrow and deal.

Two. Ordered a new teevee last night from 800.com. This means I never had to set foot in Worst Buy. I spent more than I originally planned, but it's got video inputs for every gadget I own (none of the others available had that many) and other cool bells and whistles. Now the waiting for delivery. The good news is that the delivery is by a real freight company and not UPS, and they call and schedule delivery instead of just randomly showing up at your house to ring and run.

Three. (I lied). I desperately need to get my car serviced since it's been like 6000 miles since I changed my oil. They're almost all highway miles, but still. It also turns out that I let too much time pass and I can't get the alignment re-fixed for free by the NTB folks. Feh. What good's a 6 month warranty that doesn't last 7 months?

I'm tired and I need to go buy cables for the new teevee so I can plug all my gadgets in when it gets there. Maybe I'll change my mind again on the kitten while I'm at it. Who knows?
