I got a new computer last week. I’ve been hesitant to post about it because, well, I don’t love it. I got it so I could watch/stream BSG (yes, that’s makes me a double nerd!) because the old one was overheating when it had to stream video.
My old computer was a Gateway laptop bought for [...]

BSG Season 4 Episode 12

A question, not a spoiler:
One question I had was how the Quorum representatives chosen? I mean, did they split up the fleet so that some ships elect one rep, or is it voted on by where they lived before? And if it’s the second one, how is it equally elected? I know, I get hung [...]
Teaching Old Cats New Tricks

It’s been my experience that the older the cat is, the more tricks s/he will learn. Now my fur-babies are only 2.5 years old, but they are learning new tricks!
Upon moving to Pittsburgh, both cats were trained not to jump on counters or tables. They could, however, jump (and sit) on my nightstands. Since my [...]

Monday, I went to the National Aviary here in Pittsburgh. It was part of a trip organized through SLAPSG. First, we went to feed the Lorikeets; I forgot to take pictures of that! Then we went behind the scenes and got to see the veterinary hospital on site. It was amazing and interesting. Then we [...]

So, I haven’t updated yinz lately about what’s going on here in Pittsburgh. Let’s see, it’s currently 15 degrees, 4 degrees with the windchill, and it’s lightly snowing. Reminds me of my favorite song about Pittsburgh -
Of course, the Steelers are playing the Ravens tomorrow. It’s supposed to be a “balmy” [...]

Figo is definitely taking after his namesake. He loves his tennis ball, and bats it around with his hind legs. Let’s take a look at the action..
.
Figo: I see the ball, I see the camera. Must. Not. Look. At. Camera.
Figo: Ball? What ball? There’s no ball around here. And get that camera outta my face!
Look [...]

I whipped up a triple batch of Greek Pasta the other day. It’s not so much a recipe, but it was yummy! The leftovers were good both hot and cold.
Ingredients
8 oz dried pasta, any shape (I used bow ties, but I’ve used penne in the past)
1 small jar artichoke hearts, drained
3 roasted red bell peppers
1/2 [...]

As promised, here’s a recap of the holidays.
Of course, the holidays revolve around Smokey Joe Joe the Wonder Cat (yes, that’s his full name). For those of you following along at home, SJJtWC was my cat until my sister cat-napped him instead of sending him to Lisbon. The nerve!! Every attempt to cat-nap him back [...]
