Memo to the cats

Posted By on January 30, 2010 at 1:50 pm

To: Cats
From: Management
1) I understand that from time to time, you will be eager to eat everything within reach, and many things that are not. This is fine; eat what you want, as long as it’s clearly designated as cat food.
2) I also understand that from time to time, you may overdo it and subsequently feel compelled to barf. Though I am not pleased with this behavior, I understand it, and accept it as part of the price of cat ownership.
3) Really? The middle of the living room floor? Seriously?
4) If in future you feel compelled to repeat this behavior, please confine such activity to areas of the house with solid surface floors.
Thank you for your attention in this matter.

Quick Netflix Review

Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street
(Directed by Tim Burton. Starring Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter, Alan Rickman, Sasha Baron Cohen, etc.)
Quick review: I knew it was going to be “dark,” but… ho… ly… crap.
3½ stars



Depp, as always, impresses.
This is the sort of movie that, in a cultural literacy sense, everyone probably ought to be familiar with, to some degree, but I don’t think I’m going to be watching it again. Ever. I’m not one for a lot of blood and gore on screen.
