My week in bullet points: March 28-April 3, 2011

Better late than never, right? Here's what I did this week, just in case you missed it.

• On the blog, I recapped my Spring Getaway to Southern Illinois: Part One and Part Two
• My best friend (who has an insightful blog about art and life in New York City, btw) sent me a link to this great blog: Le Dog Blog. If you love happy, smiling puppies as much as I do, I highly recommend you clickclickclick!
• Also, spent a good portion of my week, laughing at this video: My Little Pony meets The Dark Knight
• Almost got into a fistfight with some librarians. First telling me I didn't return of my DVD's (hello, I'm ncredibly anal, I always return two DVD's at once, it's what I do on Mondays) and then they had me run back upstairs to see if the DVD was on the shelf. I worked in DVD rental, I know how it goes, but come on, in my day the employee was the one who did the running around to see if another employee made a mistake, i'mjustsaying.
• I did a lot of personal journaling this week, thinking about my introduction into love, dating, and sex. It's stuff I haven't really thought about in a long time and it's taken me to some dark, painful places, but I think I will eventually be able to make something good out of this. :-)
• I didn't fall victim to ANY April Fool's Day pranks. My friends/family are not jokesters and skepticism reigned supreme!
• Had a crazy Sunday date with Justin, complete with a good movie (Cedar Rapids) and screaming hooligan children at the Cheesecake Factory. The dinner was a little fraught with stress thanks to a booth a little girls behind me who ran around the restuarant (two of whom actually leaned or fell into our booth) and threw cheesecake at their tween "supervisor," but it's always lovely to have a day out with my boyfriend, especially after a busy, moody week.

Random Things That Tickle Me-- "My Cats Are Famous"

Every now and then, I come across a blog that leaves me in stitches.  The Bloggess, Hyperbole And A Half, The Oatmeal, are blogs that tickle me and make me think, "Gosh, I wish I knew people this funny in real life."

Turns out, I do know people that funny.

My friend/sister's girlfriend/"sister" Kendall has taken up a new hobby and turned it into a blog.  Now, when I say "hobby," I don't mean something active like parasailing or building popsicle stick cabins.  Kendall's hobby is photoshopping pictures of her cats onto the bodies of humans (mainly celebrities).  Thus, My Cats Are Famous was born.  It's a Tumbler format with just photos of humans with cat heads, but her pets are all very photogenic and natural models.  These photos are extremely silly and they make me giggle incessantly.  So check it out, won't you?

This is an example of the kind of brilliance you will find at mycatsarefamous.blogspot.com

(Yeah, this was purely a plug post.  The assignment of term papers/projects means Kait has very little time to produce actual "content.")
