It's mine. My own. My precious...

FYI, for the two or so people who would call me on my cell, I have cancelled it. If you don't have my new number, and for some reason need it, email me.

Home needed. This slightly diabolical looking kitty has been hanging around my apartment at nights ( probably because I put food out ). She is a total sweety, is fully declawed ( front and back ), and needs a home. I have my quota on strays at the moment, so if any one in the Phoenix area knows of any homes looking for cats, please let me know. I haven't gotten her to the vet yet, but I will.

So, I ended up going up to the Grand Canyon alone. That was a bust. Nothing much to say on that except that it sucked. The scenery is great, and the Canyon is just so undescribably huge that it will blow your mind. I have some pictures.
In a month, I will be going out to Lower La Barge Box for an overnighter.

I. Hate. Everything.

Update:
It seems to me that most, if not all, of the people I know live happy lives. That is, they are happy at least 50 percent of the time. Then I need to realize, I am not one of those people. That no matter how hard you try, or how much you plan, the world has it in for you. Whether out of sheer malevolance or pure chance, it's just not going to work out. No matter which choice you make or which path you follow, the only place you will end up is as far from where you want to be as possible. So, you just have to accept it. Accept that the fates or whatever don't particularly like you, and as such feel compled to step in and let you know it. Accept that your life is much like Kevin Spacey's in 'American Beauty', except all alone, and you will never quit your job and blackmail your employer. That you will pretty much get up and go to work, five days a week, because you really have nothing else to do.

Update to the Update:
That list in the previous entry, pretty much up for sale. Make me an offer.

Tomorrow I pick Bock up at the airport for our Grand Canyon backpacking adventure. I can't wait. According to WeatherUnderground, the temps at the rim are in the mid-70s, and there is a slight chance of rain on Friday. Otherwise, it looks good.
