Hello, Feministing people.
I am really not well lately, very overwhelmed, so tired from work, stressful doctor appointments, other medical problems, that no, I don’t have much time to entertain discussion in every forum about this whole Feministing mess. Honestly, I wish I’d left well enough alone, because apparently all it does is open me up to more and right now? Sorry, don’t have the energy for it. If you aren’t happy with that, I don’t really care, because my health has already been compromised for this whole ordeal and I’m not going to make it worse to make internet commenters happy (… and wouldn’t even make them happy, anyway).
So. There you go.
Everyone else, maybe if I remember I’ll try to get some Friday Catblogging up day after tomorrow. How about that?
Consider this an open thread for not serious and/or Feministing-related things. Will convert URLs to pictures if you want to post them. Hint: I love hedgehogs.

They not only lay eggs and move like an adorable shimmering carpet, they dream! There’s a lot of them around where I live (and I don’t just mean on our 5 cent coin) and it’s wonderful to see one rippling off into the bush.

| Thursday, October 29, 2009 | 3:39 amOoh, I saw an echidna when I was in Australia. A wild one! I was disproportionately excited; I’d been told that they were very rarely seen. The poor little guy was scared of me (and the farmer whose land I was visiting), and it did that thing where instead of running away, it digs its lower half into the ground so all you can see are the spikes.
But! Hedgehogs are cuter, and I think you deserve some! Look! Doesn’t it look like the poor little thing is stuck in some kind of ball?
Also! I feel like I should feel sorry for this one, but all I can do is giggle!
But wait! There’s more! HEDGEHOG TONGUE!
Googling the phrase “cute hedgehog”: I highly recommend it.

My cat dreams. He lies on his back, feet in the air, and twitches wildly (you can see his whiskers actually vibrating!) and makes smacking noises with his mouth as though he were eating and sometimes meows — loudly — all while never waking up. It is quite amusing to watch.
Y’all rock.

I swear, Sidney Crosby knew last night that Amanda [Last Name] in [Town], PA needed some cheering up, because he went and scored his third career hat trick against the Habs. And each of the three goals was total Sid material, a beauty to watch. IT WAS AMAZING.
Hey they have a video up already! And it’s my local FSN they pulled it from, so you get to listen to Steiggy and Bob announcing. (It’s not Mike Lange — our local radio announcer, with the best announcer voice in sports — but I still love ‘em.) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YJCQII4EGT0
The first goal he seriously got that puck through a hole the size of my fist. 0.01 seconds later, that hole would not be there (Halak was moving with Crosby, but Crosby was just too fast!) That second goal, OMG. Spatial awareness FTW; it was a spin-around backhand and he didn’t even SEE where he was shooting it.
Sidney Crosby KNOWS I EXIST and LOVES ME. I swear to you all, it has to be true.
