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.

Yeah, my brother has switched entirely to digital media, and he is also a traveller. He finds it very convenient for much the same reasons you mention.

For myself, I'll have been in the same apartment for 14 years come mid-November (oh God, I'm SO OLD!!!!), and so I think hard copies still make sense. What I need to do is to go through my piles of hard copy books, and give away those I already have on Kindle/iBooks/Kobo, and also give away the books I haven't read in a decade. Then I'll have more room for DVDs.

My cat has stopped being a brat-cat, at least for now, and I'm very relieved. I hope yours have also gotten over it. Could be the heat....
