the cutest thing i have ever seen
Oh my god, this is out of hand, adorable. I can't take it!

paul, even you can't say that is not the cutest thing you've ever seen, right?


lauren - 04/08/08 10:19
I am right now getting my Master's degree...I had initially planned on going all the way, but I am feeling a little disallusioned with academia right now...as far as what to do with an MA in Women's Studies...its a tough call. There are no jobs that ask for this...it is usually Sociology, Political Science or "related field" and that is where Women's Studies comes in. You can do case management work, work for different NGO's or feminist orgs such as Planned Parenthood or NARAL or NOW...or you can do something totally unrelated and just use that MA for whatever you can. A lot of people say that it is not a "marketable" area and in some instances I agree, but it is also quite flexible and if you know how to work it you can do whatever the hell you want.

And. Cute.
paul - 04/07/08 20:31
It would be cuter pre-digested.
imk2 - 04/07/08 19:25
there is a reason why human babies and baby mammals are cute. peter want to take a crack as to why?
metalpeter - 04/07/08 17:58
A few points that need to be made.
-What that person is doing is a bad idea, and they don't have any clue. You are teaching the cat to scratch you and to nipple or bite you. When they have no claws and really no teeth not a big deal but when you go to pet them and they think it is play time not pet time that little game isn't as fun, I learned that one kinda the hard way.

-yeah that is a cute little cat I assume and as someone said when they get bigger they lose that cuteness often.

-If anyone wants to make a lot of $$$ invent a way (with DNA) to prevent Babies from growing. If you could have kitten, Puppies or even Tiger Cubs that all stayed cubs the demand would be so high. Of course the trick would be that they can still learn stuff so they don't shit on the rug. You would be surprised how many people don't get animals because they grow into big ones and not cute ones.

In terms of something like that being ethical I say it would be. The reason is you aren't making them babies who can't defend them selves and then letting them into the wild streets they are pets. Not to mention things simalur to that are done for our food so we can have super beef.
mrmike - 04/07/08 09:51
If only they stayed that way
hodown - 04/07/08 09:10
if they stayed that small and cute id totally get one!
ladycroft - 04/07/08 04:15
it looks like Puss...in de Boots!
dcoffee - 04/06/08 23:57
oh my! I'm a softie. I wanna poke it's belly, and let it catch me.
theecarey - 04/06/08 20:18
my head just exploded from intense cuteness exposure. I love all animals, so I'd likely think anything was cute, but I have an extra soft spot for the kittys. That purring and ferocious kitten nibbles made me smile. Thanks!
tinypliny - 04/06/08 19:38
They usually get ugly when they get bigger.
jenks - 04/06/08 19:36
omg it looks like a little teddy bear. where are it's ears?! I want it. (and I hate cats)

mrdeadlier - 02/27/08 21:41

yvonne loves marvin
i went to help marvin pick out a new iMac yesterday and he got the top of the line model, with 2 gigs of ram and 2.8 processor and the price with apple care and tax and other crap was damn near 3000 dollars. but then he turns around and asks "do you want anything?" i was like...um...well...an ipod?

and so he bought me an ipod! out of no where, for no reason. i almost feel as if i should return the favor with a favor???? hee hee.

he's so super sweet though. i love you marcinek!

but the ipod won't work because i have 10.3 not 10.5 installed on my computer.

so my question is, can install leopard on my computer from his back up cd that comes with the computer?
jenks - 02/25/08 20:50
I'm not 100% sure but I think his cd should work... if not, I have it too. Prob lots of people here, as a matter of fact.
mrmike - 02/25/08 13:43
Good move there, Marvin
carolinian - 02/25/08 13:28
What model of mac do you have? I think that the bare-minimum for Leopard is a computer with a G4 processor.
imk2 - 02/25/08 12:30
nope, itunes is up to date. a message comes up specifically when i plug in the ipod into the computer saying that it cannot be run on this version. that i need 10.4 or higher. and since i can't find anything on the web that has panther to download i figure my only option is to upgrade to leopard.
james - 02/25/08 12:26
oh, and Marvin sounds sweet ^_^
james - 02/25/08 12:26
hm... would it work if you updated iTunes?

valentines day dinner at one sunset

we went to dinner at the new restaurant that some nba guy, leonard stokes, opened up. since this was a last minute decision, we couldn't get reservations at my fav restaurant, hutch's until 10, so we had to settle for this place instead.

it was rather disappointing. firstly, the wait from the time we sat down, until the waiter came to introduce himself, was unacceptable. seriously, we sat there for about 15 minutes, without a wine list, picking our noses, for what seemed like eons.

second, the tables were made of plywood or something, so they felt wobbly and weird. it felt as if the thing was going to break in half if you leaned on it too hard.

third, there were no candles on any of the tables. first of all, the restaurant is very dimly lit so in order to see your menu, you definitely needed some additional lighting, plus it was FUCKING VALENTINES DAY! you are supposed to have a romantic dinner at a romantic restaurant. how do you have an upscale restaurant with no fucking candles on any of the tables on valentines day!? i asked the waiter about the missing candles and he said that because they added additional tables to accommodate the big crowd they were anticipating for valentines day, they realized that they didn’t have enough candles for all of the tables, so they decided to scrap them all and not put ANY out on ANY of the tables. being as picky as i am, i said that i absolutely could not eat dinner here if there was no candle on my table. i felt as if i was eating in some back alley restaurant that couldn't afford a simple tea light candle. i mean seriously, rite aid is right across the street. if you morons ran out of candles, have someone run there and buy some. it doesn't take a genius to figure that one out. and if you're too fucking cheap to do that, then you do not belong in the restaurant business.

fourth, the menu was a special limited valentines day menu. that sucked. if i'm shelling out (well, not me, but if someone is shelling out) a ton of money for a nice dinner, i expect to have the normal selection of the shit you usually have on your dinner menu, instead of some cheap, shortened, menu that has about a third of the normal entree choices of the dinner menu.

fifth, the entrees were waaaaaay over priced. the amount of money they were charging for the quality of the food was ridiculous. the appetizer was good, and the crème' brulee was good, but the filet and lobster were too expensive. i mean, $45 for a lobster dinner with, what seemed like instant mashed potatoes and plain green beans was just embarrassing.

on the plus side, our waiter was very, very nice and accommodating and he was so terribly cute that i wished i could have sucked face with him in the bathroom. i mean, this guy was hot. my date was not happy. however, my date seemed to forget that a couple of nights prior, he was all hot and bothered by the waitress at mother's and was drooling all over her. so short our selective memories are.

anyway, because he was so nice, and cute, i convinced my date to give him an decent tip. although he did that pretty reluctantly. i must say that had i been paying for this dinner, i would be in a great depression right about now. i don't mind spending money on food, but i hate spending money on bad food or bad service when i know that there are tons of other great restaurants in buffalo that deserve my business instead. i am very thankful however, for the wonderful company i had and the generosity of my date, regardless of the crappy, overpriced food. i still had a great night.

all in all, he spent entirely too much money on a below average meal. we had 2 bottles of wine, one appetizer, two entrees (one lobster tail, one filet and crab legs) and one dessert. with a generous tip, the underwhelming meal was a grand total of $270 bucks.

that's like an ipod or an apple tv, or a smart phone, isn't it? i wish i could shit all of that out and ask for the money back. i've never felt so cheated.

I didn't have too many hi hopes for that place, considering it was once the stinkhole that was "The Locker Room." It's like putting fine dining in the old Pink.
zobar - 02/15/08 23:07
Cha-chingg!! Ain't no way you're going to get anything other than Overpriced, Overcrowded, and Overcooked at any restaurant on V*Day, though by the looks of things I bet Overpriced is always on offer there.

jenks - 02/15/08 18:43
ok, so I go away for a week, and all of sudden you have a valentine-worthy hot date dropping big bucks?! Tell tell tell!! Is it M?!
