Not too much going on here in the last few days. A couple of necessary shopping trips; bought some birthday presents for the doggie. The cats have these cloth toys stuffed with catnip and crinkly noisemaking plastic, and Arwen has tried to adopt these toys as her own several times. One looks like a frog and another like a butterfly. Well, it turns out that they make the frog in a version for dogs: much larger size, with a squeaker in it, instead of catnip. The punchline is that, despite the lack of catnip, Nicholas tried to steal it from Arwen as soon as he saw it. He even smacked her in the face. It's hilarious that she's afraid of him - and she is - because he's less than half her size, and normally pretty good-natured.

Today I have to do one more shopping trip to be caught up for the week, but this is a returning trip.



I have to admit that I have been kind of, um, rooting for Nate to die, based on the fact that he's been such an incredible asshole all season and on the fact that A) I knew someone was going to die and B) signs pointed to him. I've been watching the TelevisionWithoutPity SFU spoiler board and have seen people speculating, based on episode descriptions, that what happened would actually happen, and when Nate had his famous "Numb arm... narm! narm!" moment at the end of the last episode, my response was more like, YEAH! than OH NO NOT NATE! (Which was my response the last time Nate almost died.) My NateHate coalesced when he killed the bird at his birthday party. I don't feel particularly bad about this, since he's a fictional character who was clearly making all the other fictional characters miserable.

Nonetheless, I got sniffly when he actually DID die. Even though his last contact with his wife and daughter was to ignore his daughter while dumping his wife. I'm wondering what will happen with Maya's custody? Hopefully ppl (Lisa's relatives, Ruth) will think about what's better for MAYA and not take her away from the only mother she knows. It's also possible that she could end up with David and Keith, if for some reason they don't keep their adorable juvies.

Oh,yeah, we have lots of those toys lying around. They are trophies to be fought over. And the conqueror then brings his/her prize upstairs and starts batting it around and chewing on it in the bedroom in the middle of the night.

I'm actually seriously disliking the show lately and don't like *anyone* in it anymore. I'm stupidly watching the last of it just to say I saw everything from beginning to end, and I'm hating it. :P

I was kind of expecting Nate to die on the last episode, but Greg was convinced he was going to go on this one. I guess I owe him $10 now.

I agree with you on the NateHate - the episode where he killed the bird was it for me. Dude's been a big ol' dick all season.
