Goliath has gone absolutely insane the last few nights.

Jennifer has this ritual of holding Goliath for a little bit right before she goes to bed and giving him kisses. Tuesday night he freaked out and stuck his claw into her face right under her eye. She dropped him and fell to the ground curled up in fetal position crying like a baby. At first I thought he had scratched her eyeball and I was gonna have to take her to the emergency room.

Last night I was holding him because he had climbed up into my lap. When Jennifer left to take Johnny home after the movie I walked into Jennifer's room with the cat so he could look out the window. He freaked out and attacked my face. I put him down on her bed and he hissed at me and acted like he was gonna jump up at my face again.

I don't believe in hitting or kicking animals so I told him he better calm down or he was gonna get locked in the pet taxi for a little while. (That is his time out.)

When Jennifer got home I told her that Goliath needs some depressants or something because he is acting like a live wire. She picked him up and asked him why he was being a jerk and he tried attacking her face too.

He is in big trouble and we are all under strict orders to ignore him until he starts acting like a normal cat again.

Johnnifer and I rented "The Laramie Project" last night. It wasn't at all what I expected. It was good but not what I expected. I didn't feel that it flowed very well, a movie that needs to have a black screen with a title seperating the different parts of the movie isn't really a movie to me. It kind of reminded me of "Babe" which had the titles for the different parts of the movie with those singing mice reading them like it was the title of a chapter in a book.

If you watch a movie to see many big name actors on the same screen this is the movie to see.

I like the MTV movie about Matthew Shepard better. They still show it sometimes when they show their Cable in the Classroom stuff.

I am done babbleing, I still don't see where the people of Laramie came up with this "live and let live" deal though. I was born and raised in Wyoming and watching this movie and stuff back in '98 right after Matt's death was the only time I have ever heard that.

Now I am really done.

I HATE Juno, but not as much as I hate AOL.

Why are the grape PEZ candies pink and not purple?!?!

This is a problem of serious proportions. It is totally screwing up my taste buds. They are a darker pink than the strawberry candies, so I keep expecting them to taste like cherry and then they aren't cherry so they just taste icky, because my brain keeps saying it should be one thing and my tongue keeps saying it is another.

I feel like Nathan with the color changing koolaid, where the grape is red and the cherry is blue. It just isn't right.

The food corporations of the world are trying to confuse little kids. It is a consiparcy to see how long it takes for little kids to believe that the sky is green and the grass is pink.

And I don't like it one bit, not at all. I'm not gonna let them trick me.

No sir, no way.
