So apparently Russia's quite the interesting country this week! Not only does its President (Vladimir Putin) name a new Prime Minister (Victor Zubkov), but it also claims to have the "dad of all bombs." That's right: Russia built a huge honkin' bomb that is much bigger and badder than the United States' "mother of all bombs." In case you want the details on how much better Russia's bomb is than ours, here's the article.
In other news, I'm actively looking for a cat (or two) to make life a bit more enjoyable. I really, really miss my two kitties (one ran away before I moved, and I had to take the other to a Humane Society when I moved). I may try getting my original cat back, but I'm really trying to get a FREE cat (or two), including shots.
ANYWAY, I was on craigslist, and there is a LOT of whacked-out stuff about animals. There is one family who wrote an entire blog about their dog... it's got a LOT of drama and a LOT of details... it's actually almost annoying. Here, decide for yourself! :P
Ay, ay, ay, people! In other news, I was talking with my coworkers today about politics. We're pretty much on the same (liberal) page politically, which seems surprising in a small-ish town in Arizona. We were talking about U.S. presidents: the good, the bad, and the ugly. One coworker openly disdains all politicians; another is very decided on her stances; my boss is relatively closed-mouthed on the topic; I am admittedly underinformed (aren't we all??). Anyway, we were talking for a while, and agreed that politics are quite frustrating; the more you read, the less you really know for sure. The less you know for sure, the less you feel you are able to do about certain situations. This all, of course, can easily lead to apathy. I've always been astounded at how EASY it is to remain apathetic about anything political (in the U.S.).
I suppose I'll just keep doing the best I can.

We have two kitties. The first is older, I've had her since I was in middle school. She is a FREE KITTEN in the newspaper find. Then about 18 months ago, we adopted a 10 month old kitten from the local SPCA. The fee was minimal (around $30, I think) and she came spayed and with shots. They recommend that, though SPCA pets have had a brief physical examination, you take them to your own vet for a more thorough exam. When I did that, my vet's office waived the exam fee (about $75) because she was a shelter cat. She said that alot of vets will do that in order to encourage pet adoptions.
Good luck! My older "baby" is fiercely loyal to me after 13 years. The younger one is much more independent, but makes me laugh on a daily basis with all her antics.
