mariness1. Not one, not two, not even three, but FOUR of you separately, and without – you claim – consultation or conspiracy, sent me either squirrels or images of squirrels for my birthday/Xmas holidays.
2. The license agreement for the software for the Sony e-reader contains a warning that it is not meant to operate nuclear facilities, air traffic control, or life support systems. I swear I am not making this up.
3. The User Guide for the Sony e-reader tells people, "Do not poke people using the supplied stylus." Sony does not want us to have any fun.
4. The User Guide for the Sony e-reader does not, however, say, "Do not poke cats using the supplied stylus." Sony hates cats. And dogs.
5. I am finding great joy in being able to scribble all over e-books borrowed from the library. I feel as if I unleashing some great unmet need. Apparently, I have longed to deface library books for years. Who knew?
(Things I did not predict from electronic devices, number 546.)
6. I'm not going to be able to devour this. (Posted everywhere, I know, but still worth sharing for the supreme awesomeness.)
7. The way a cat can switch from extraordinary shyness and hiding from friends and strangers alike to two straight hours of yowling at me (presumably about today's cool temperatures, which are rather less under my control than she thinks.)
8. The extraordinary speed at which holiday cookies can vanish.
