It was a wet and rainy Saturday. Even though Southern California’s storms tend to drop wetness only intermittently, there was not enough time between clouds for things to dry out.

So I spent the morning goofing off on the computer in the spare room. Dodo kept me company and sat next to me on the bed.

“High-five.”

And then we both took a bath.

When the weather got nicer we went to Best Buy. I saw this along the way.

I saw this and wanted it, but I didn’t buy it.

I saw this and DEFINITELY didn’t buy it, because I know from past experience IT TOTALLY DOESN’T WORK.

But what I did bring home was THIS!! I am SO excited.

I’d characterize myself as a Wham!/George Michael closet fanatic, except I’m not in the closet about it. It’s got music videos for favorites such as “Last Christmas”, “Careless Whisper,” “I Want Your Sex”, “Father Figure” (which, incidentally, was in my head since I got up this morning) by Wham! and “I Can’t Make You Love Me“, “Jesus to a Child”, “Older”, “Too Funky”, “Don’t Let the Sun Go Down on Me” (w/Elton John) when George Michael went solo. *salivating*
On the way home, the clouds rolled in to cover the blue.

In the resuming rainfall, Dodo curled himself up on the warm Lakers blanket.

There is nothing so soporific in my home as a densely furry cat cozied up and lightly snoring. Roundness. My furball among basketballs.

All day, Jordan sent me cell phone pictures of her birthday weekend at Universal Studios in sunny Florida.

In the evening, she sent lots of photos of a lit stage on which KC and the Sunshine Band were allegedly performing, but I couldn’t verify any of that because her photos generally looked like this:

When she sent THIS, I had to text her back and ask if she was already drunk.

She called that “a float.” I think she meant “afloat,” as in, “I am afloat in Jaegermeister Birthday Shots.”
I would have been jealous of what seemed like a great time for her, except that I was content with my:

TODAY is Jordan’s birthday! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ONE OF MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE PEOPLE IN THE WHOLE WORLD!!! XOXOXOXOXOXO! She turns, uh, 25. *sideglance*
