How you behave toward cats here below determines your place in heaven.

Thanks 4 the rooster, sis!

soap said...: No, thank you for the rooster, sweetie! Actually, I got inspired by the rooster and all this Chinese new year biz... and I found out that I am in fact most compatible with snakes, roosters, and, big surprise, rats. They say three's a crowd, but I think we are all a little too compatible, a little too well-lubricated, around here. We need more conflict, more friction.; 1:26 pm EET

This is a test, really, but also an opportunity to quote a resonant passage I read recently in the short story "Ice," (watch out for those quotation marks!) by Thomas McGuane:

"As would become a lifelong habit for most of us, we longed to witness both spectacular achievement and mortifying failure. Neither of these things, we were discreetly certain, would ever come to us; we would instead be granted the frictionless lives of the meek."

And the frictionless shall inherit the blog.; 10:02 am EET
