I have earned the wrath of Cat

I've been feeding my neighbor's cats and birds for the past couple of days. Today I found this nice pile of cat vomit just outside my door. I suspect I must have fed "Bandit" an hour or two after her customary time, and this is her retaliatory gesture.

I have little experience with felines. Do cats get angry and use vomit to send messages? Am I now required to vomit near her feeding dish to express my displeasure and assert dominance? Do I get to keep the gigantic fly?

Caaaaaat!

the place for spicy Chinese food near LA

Here's a glimpse of the menu at my favorite sichuan-style restaurant in the greater Los Angeles area (in San Gabriel, to be specific). Notice that 22 of 24 menu items are starred to indicate "HOT & SPICY". They are not kidding. The spiciness consists of chili pepper, garlic, and the elusive sichuan peppercorn (which leaves the lips and tongue numbed and tingling). The food is also very flavorful. Check it out if you like that sort of thing.

If I were to redesign their menu, I'd have the star mean "NOT SPICY", and then only two items on this page would be starred. That'd be cool.

Perhaps the best psychics can't spell

I've driven past this psychic's storefront on Sunset Boulevard a number of times, and I'm always tempted to park, run over, and assist Carmela with the spelling on her sign. I'd be like a spelling-obsessed vigilante superhero. On the other hand, I tend a 'B' rating from the health board is a good sign when it comes to restaurants ("B" stands for "Better"). Maybe misspelt signs are the mark of a gifted seer?

> Candles Incents Books
> There Is No Probleem
> That I Can't Solve
> Marriage Love Health

I don't mean to knock Carmela for the mistakes on her sign. Her first language may be that of the spirit world, not necessarily English. But one would hope that sign-printing companies would do some double-checking, even if it's an automated spell-checker of the kind built into Microsoft Word or OS X, before forever committing the words to vinyl.

There's always something surreal to see at my sister's place

I love the imagery here. If you don't read the text, the image is nearly indecipherable. if you do read the text, and you share my level of non-knowledge of anatomy, it's still indecipherable. I think the pink octopus is eating his head. That's what I see.

My Michael Jackson memorial

The sweetie returned from a trip to Europe with a couple of UK celebrity rags, and I noticed an empty picture frame on a shelf in her living room. The urge to combine these two items into an object greater than the sum of its parts was overwhelming. I think the new family photo on the shelf is unobtrusive and I'm curious how many visitors to the apartment will take notice. Consider it a memorial to the king of pop.

Regarding MJ, I had a Thriller LP when I was a kid and I should find it next time I'm at my parents'. It's probably next to my Ofra Haza LP --another pop singer who died too young, and who according to Wikipedia "turned down an offer to support Michael Jackson on tour" in 1990. Apophenia or Connections?
