Dumb russian bitch caused a four car accident last night, with my mini as the tasty center. She was honestly one of the dumbest human beings I’ve ever spoken to. She was shocked the cop tested her for DUI. You plowed into a row of four stopped cars at high speed, ffs. And stop talking to me like “oh man, boy this sucks huh?” yeah it sucks, and it’s your fault ffs. She acted like it was just bad luck for everyone.

The front end is actually really bad, and the engine was having some serious problems. I’m about 4 months away from paying it off. Whee.

mogwai has cancer, and it’s a bad kind.  chemo would giver her a 5-10% chance, but could decrease her already weak appetite.  steroids would increase her appetite but do nothing for the cancer (basically it might make her a little better so we get some more time with her, but it probably wouldn’t be long.)

jolie’s going to call the vet to ask about doing both.  if it had been the most common type of cat cancer they can live for sometimes years with chemo, but mogwai had to go and get a bad kind that apparently isn’t super treatable.

bleh

Mogwai was doing a lot better at the vet/hospital tonight.  She was awake and alert and excited to see us when we got there.  She tried to hop out of the cage she was in so I stood right up against it to keep her in.  She responded by leaning against me until I put my arm out so she could lay on it like she likes to.  She was purring the entire time.

She drank some water, and the vet said she just refilled her food and she had been eating. Tomorrow is another ultrasound and a biopsy (they found 2 lumps near her heart, but don’t know yet if it’s cancer/what type it could be.)  It could just be two benign lumps and she just has idiopathic hypercalcemia, in which case treatment would be steroids and a diet change. If it is cancer we start talking chemo options which will hopefully give us some more time with her.

fingers crossed.

Mogwai is sick, really sick. She won’t eat and she’s lost a ton of weight. The vet has lab results but i won’t know them until tomorrow and it’s making me sick.

I’m not ready to lose mogwai. She’s been my best friend for 10 years.

Is anyone else worried by the recent string of failures coming out of Google?  Wave has collapsed, Buzz became more of a nuisance, their revamped image search has me using Bing, and now their Instant just gives me a headache.

Apparently I’m not alone.

I feel like my browser is just spewing random data at me while I type in the search box now.  Google may think they have user testing to show people see that muddled mess (and maybe they do if they type at 10 wpm) but anyone that types at over 50-60 wpm is just going to see a flash of text before they’re done typing their search query.

I suppose if I’m looking for something dumb (like the website for facebook) it might make sense, but I generally have to read the webpage sample included with each search result to find one that looks like it might end my search.

Don’t even get me started on the mess branded as Google Apps.
