Cat Thyroid
This post started as one of those list-posts of random information. But now there's a big news flash. Pushkin the cat will be OK!Pushkin apparently has a thyroid issue which can be dealt with by pills. Whew. He's such a good little cat. I just don't want him to hurt.So ...
Cat Snurfling
This Pushkin cat has lost a pound, and he's always been a thin cat. He's down to 6.5 lbs from 7.5 lbs. We don't know what's up with that. All his blood work came back normal. His coat is very nice and soft. So I don't know. He's going to ...

It was Decided
That Pushkin needed a kitten. Now technically I suppose this means my parents are getting a new cat but that's not how it's being advertised.At present she is nameless. My first thought is "Polenta". She seems soft and squishy. ;-)
Dollop Kitteh

There are... issues to be worked around in post-production.Pierre's Costumes.So if Dollhouse ...
Ridiculous vs Serious
Pushkin lounges on my dad's home office chair.Again, he looks quite serious when really he's incredibly ridiculous.If the average movie cost $6 million in 1979, shouldn't it only cost $17.8 million today? Indeed, shouldn't it be a bit cheaper because post-production is cheaper and lighting for modern film stocks is ...
