Would anybody like a slightly used domestic shorthair cat? Because she is working my last nerve. Yesterday she managed to jump on the kitchen counter and knock a full plate of food to the floor, breaking the plate and scattering my dinner all over the linoleum. AND she knocked over her water bowl, walked through the ensuing puddle of water, and then tracked muddy paw prints all over the bed sheets, which meant I had to strip the bed. She's not usually LIKE this. I want my normal cat back, not Ms. Klutzy McClumsyson.

Does anybody on my f-list/dwircle have any experience with buying movies and TV shows on iTunes, rather than buying physical DVDs and Blu-Rays? I am running out of bookshelf space on which to put my plentiful collection of geeky media. If you buy the thing on iTunes, do you have to watch it on your laptop screen, or can you hook up your laptop to your television? And if the latter, how difficult is it to do, on a technical level? What are the pros and cons of having media stored digitally rather than physical discs? Thank you in advance for your expertise and advice.

I feel gross and don't wanna go to work. I'm going to drag my carcass there, but I intend to bitch about it.

I learned the hard way that you can only watch iTunes purchases on an Apple TV outside your computer or Apple devices. I imagine you can do some sort of screen mirroring thing, but I wanted to have these purchases in the cloud, rather than clogging up my hard drive with downloads (which iTunes does), so I went to Amazon for buying season passes of TV I wanted.

That said, I bought both seasons of Agent Carter on streaming because I wanted to make a point to the company about spending money on it. I much prefer having DVDs for shows I very much always want access to. Netflix rarely has shows I really care about, and it's happened too often that the show will go away or they'll only have S2 but not S1 or something.

Oof, good luck with the kitty. I'm the doggiest dog person ever, so I'm no help whatsoever on this.

Ah. I see. Thanks for letting me know. I'll be sticking with hard copies, in that case.

Kitty has calmed down, thank goodness. I love dogs. I don't have a dog, but maybe one day... In the meantime I get my doggie fix from my mother's visits (she has a dog), and making friends with dogs who are out for walks with their owners.
