If I try to shake him off, he tries to bite down (and doesn&#8217;t particularly care if he&#8217;s biting a big wad of blanket or my leg) and hold on.  It would seem that somebody thinks I&#8217;ve got awfully sexy legs, because he certainly seems to be trying to mate with them.  Sometimes I get annoyed enough to sit up and remove him, other times he disengages and leaves me alone.  When I remove him, there&#8217;s a pretty good chance he&#8217;ll come back and start again.  Before anyone asks, yes, he was neutered when we first took him in (almost exactly two years ago), and no, he doesn&#8217;t try to get fresh with Olivia.  He harrasses her, sure, but in a nosy brother kind of way.  And he doesn&#8217;t do this with Evan or my wife.<\/p>\n<p>Face it, I&#8217;m irresistible.<\/p>\n<p>In other news, the end-of-the-year favorite-music-podcast-thingie I keep talking about doing is probably going to wind up being a beginning-of-the-year favorite-music-podcast-thingie.  I recorded some of my intro pieces a couple of weeks ago before I wound up feeling like chicken fried crap on a full time basis, but I hated how they turned out (iwastalkingwaytoodamnfast), and I haven&#8217;t had any kind of voice with which to redo them since I&#8217;ve gotten sick.  So&#8230;probably after the first of the year, I&#8217;m afraid.<\/p>\n<p>OK, that&#8217;s all.  I&#8217;m gonna go sit and get molested by my cat again.
