Our cat is so defective.

There was a roach in the living room, sitting under the coffee table. Max was at the end of the table, staring at the roach. And the roach, less then two feet away, stared back at Max. They had a fucking staring contest for at least a minute.

Finally, I got sick of it, and smacked the ground behind the roach. It bolted towards Max. And went under him. He just sat there for a minute, before standing up and moving away from the little critter. I finally had to give in and step on the bug myself. Doesn't this cat know that he's supposed to eat bugs?

I introduced shadesong to the wonders of Bruster's, the best ice cream in the world. She tried the Cappucino flavor, and made a face that she normally doesn't make anywhere but in the bedroom (or, on occasion, in other rooms while doing things that are traditionally done in the bedroom). I had the chocolate oreo, which she felt obligated to try six or seven times, as well. :-) Seriously, I really don't think there's better ice cream on the planet. And we now have it within walkig distance of our house. :-)

Went shopping with Mike today. We hit Target, getting the clip-on lamp for the bed, so that shadesong can get sleep when I want to stay awake and read. Also got a 12-pack of coke for her, and at the register, I saw Made on DVD for $9.04. I enjoyed the movie a lot, and at that price, with all the extras (including telestrated commentary -- just like on Monday Night Football!), it was a no-brainer.

Then we went to Galyans to get softball mitts, as I'll be on the IM team that Mike is getting together. Found a great glove, and then we looked at bats (Mike wants his own). These bats were $200! What a frigging rip!

So we went back to Target. :-) Miike got a cheap bat, and I found the Spider-Man boxers I posted about a few days ago, so I had to buy them. :-)

After, we went to Circuit City, so I could return the piece of shit American flag CD player 'song's dad got her for Mother's day. Got credit, and picked up Ocean's 11 and The Others on DVD in exchange, paying only $5 more for the discs (it was a $30 cd player).

Then we headed to Sword of the Phoenix, so that Mike could see the local gaming store, and I picked up PVP#4 (the Matrix parody).

We finished off with a stop at Moe's Southwestern grill, a new chain of burrito places. Fun place, and damned good food. Good service, too.

Then I was dropped off at home, and 'song and I went for ice cream. :-)

How much do I love shadesong? The Zim that's on our TIVO is called "Gir Goes Crazy and Stuff," and I'm not watching it until she's here to watch it too. Now that's devotion!
