oh it's nine in the morning and i'm up. i went to bed at 4 trying to guarantee that i wouldn't be up at seven. i woke up at 8. the cats are playing keep away. as in keep away from each other, but barely. i've never seen such a dance. the new cats are teaching us all manner of things about our cats. like jack screaming like a woman, that was totally new for me.

i'm watching some old thriller about someone making a woman think she's crazy. either that or she really is bats. we're out of cigarettes, which is a bummer. my oral fixation is insanely strong.

i'm trying to figure out if i want to go up on the hill to watch the fireworks, or if i want to watch on tv at home. if i go up on the hill, i can video capture it, just to do it. it may be too hot. it's supposed to be 110 degrees today. big a/c day.
