It’s Labor Day weekend…
…so why not spend the weekend in labor? That’s what Taxi the cat is doing – finally. She’s in the early stages, her water has broken, and I think she just wants to run away and let some other cat handle this.
Why Taxi is still at our house when she’s not even our cat: Taxi is one of my sister-in-law’s “barn kitties.” She got knocked up by another barn kitty, and her people want on vacation a couple of weeks ago, out of state for the week. Her people are back, but she’s still here. This is Taxi’s second litter of kittens, and the reason she’s having her second litter here is because her previous litter was…well, I’m gonna warn you, it’s not pretty. … Read more

The disassociated association
Random rants and ramblings from the rumbling runt (that’d be me):
Some really interesting concept art and pitch material from a proposed post-Enterprise Star Trek animated series that didn’t make it. This was actually being pitched as something for startrek.com, so it would’ve been at least borderline official. The fact that it didn’t fly is pretty telling: I’ll be surprised if Paramount ever bothers with the post-TOS universe (I’m tempted to call it the Bermanverse) again outside of ancillary media such as novels, comics, gaming, etc.; the studio was clearly already focused on going back to basics, the same year that they canned Enterprise.
At the same time, we’re gearing up for a new animated Doctor Who before the end of the year (supposedly); it’s called Dreamland. From the stills that are floating around out there, I have to say that I have a better “vibe” for the artwork style this time around than I did for Infinite Quest.
The other night I went through a local Braum’s drive-thru at about 10pm (long story); the guy who was taking my order asked me “Is this for here or to go?” Well, yeah, dude, let’s go for “here.” I can just pull up to the window, give you my money, get my food, and I’ll put in park and you can keep me company while I eat.
Actually, scratch that, I know that there are people who would pay for that service…and knowing that, I don’t think I’d wanna be the guy in the window. … Read more

The halftime score: Taxi 1, kittens 0
Poor Taxi cat. She still hasn’t had her kittens yet, and she’s also surprisingly spry about jumping up onto the bathroom counter (she likes to flop into the sink and sleep there) and in/out of the bathtub (where I have a nice secluded spot set up for her to have her kittens). Maybe she’s not as close as we thought.… Read more

But on the downside, she’s not the Cash Cab.
This is Taxi, one of my sister-in-law’s cats. Taxi is staying with us for the next week because her family’s going to be gone on vacation…which wouldn’t be a big deal, except that Taxi is miserably, gonna-pop-any-second pregnant. It’s kitten time! … Read more
