Mother Eff!

I'm in a sailor-moufed mood today. Hope I can keep that in line round the old bossman. But he drops the bomb a lot more than I do, I'll have you know.
I am also in an expressive mood today, and I like it. Oh, the wonders of strong coffee, that thick, dark magic potion that rouses me from the false realities of my sleep.
Shelby drew a picture of herself as an octopus-mermaid, with a triton and an army of water-babies. This is funny, first because the drawing is ingenious, and rather beautiful, but also because I was just musing about how I will spawn an army of minions. Yes, this is my plan.
Today I took an accidental step in that direction (no, I didn't get knocked up -- sorry mom, not quitting smoking yet). I got a cat!!! He is friendly, cuddly, and playful, and 1 year old. He's on the chubby side (YES), he's black (DOUBLE YES), and he's going to be named BEAUREGARD (Beau for short)!!!!!!!!!!!! I will be picking him up in a little more than a week, with litter-box, scratchy post, food and bowls included.
This will be good. I will have something to love, so I don't take to the streets and the bars in search of it. I will stay home with my Beau and my movies and my tiny mansion.
