smells like spacepoo
spacepod is finally out of mothballs after an hour long transfusion of SHEER RAW POWER from the blue bug, and a jump start.
i took him out to the auto spa today and they removed the crust of pollen and tree goop that had accumulated.
a lot of people have told me how pretty they think the blue color of the blue bug is, but to me, spacepod is the most gorgeous car i've ever seen. after he was all clean i had to admire him in the parking lot.
he's still pretty stinky on the inside, although the vacuuming seemed to help that a lot. i'm planning to take him back to the auto spa some time soon to have the interior shampooed, which might help knock the smell back a little more.

the dangers of google
okay, so i googled moses' symptoms last night and jumped to the conclusion that his liver was failing. my vet gently told me this morning that we aren't seeing enough evidence to support that conclusion, or even test for it.
oops.
i mean, it could be the beginning of something bad, but probably not.

aw, come ON
i was getting into the groove of my ten days straight without travel, family obligations, excessive stress, etc. then tonight after work i spotted some litterbox weirdness that has me completely freaked out that moses' liver is failing.
here's hoping it turns out to be a big fat nothing. he's going in tomorrow morning for a glucose check anyway so i'll find out the score quick enough.
let it be nothing. let us have our week and a half of peace before we hit the road again.

television, the fast view.
ANTM: At this point, i have to root for Whitney to win. It doesn't hurt that she's the only one of the three remaining who I don't find to be incredibly annoying.
NUMB3RS: This show is just getting weaker and weaker. It's sad; it used to be so good.
WNTW: It's so obvious that the network decided the show needed to "have a heart" and be less catty. It's a little strained.
Bones: Still love it. During Buffy and Angel I just didn't get David Boreanz as being a hottie and a good actor. Now I get it. He is a good actor, as it turns out, and the show remains strong.
Reaper: Surprisingly, I love this show. It completely does not suck.

family weekends
two weekends in a row doing family stuff. last weekend was J's mom and her husband in Va, visiting J. I went up on Thursday and stayed until Sunday; we went down to Norfolk on Saturday to visit the Apple store and walk around the waterfront, then had a fabulous fondue dinner. Sunday we stayed at the house and helped J's mom learn more about using her new Macbook and gave the fur and feather-bearing folks some attention.
this weekend was daniel's graduation and my aunt, uncle, and stuart were in town for the event. J came down early on friday so we could go to dinner with everyone friday night at angus barn (yum). saturday was graduation and we went to the Umstead for drinks afterward-- mom, wayne and my aunt and uncle were staying there (we get a special rate because we work for the owner).
saturday night j and i split off from the group and went to pizza palace and out to see Iron Man.
today everyone came over to my house (ugh, it's still in total disarray from bringing stuff over from mom's) and then we went to piedmont for brunch. i wanted to show off how great durham can be. i think everyone loved the food and we had a pretty good time.
in general my family is fairly low stress and easy to be with, but wow-- two weekends in a row of family stuff is a lot.
over the next two weeks i need to rock out on my house, get spacepod up and running again and ready to go to indy, and finally get out to my yard which has been neglected all season.
and maybe some other stuff that i'm not telling you about... yet.
