Yo. Dude. It has been raining up in this town. We here in San Diego are NOT made for rain. Actually we are not ready for anything other than 85 degrees and sunshine. So this rain, thunder, and junk has been CRAZY. Look, we were “rained in”! LOL. Whatevs. So this past Wednesday was a big day in spite of the weather. The big NOH8 Campaign was in town. You know, big photographer, celebs, professional photo, duct tape mouth?  YES. So of course with this going on, Richard and I were in. So we planned ahead, got out of work early and braved the weather. WE got to the very HIDDEN location in the gayborhood early enough that there was no wait. The photographer, Adam Bouska clearly adored my Richard. It was like an *eternity* till my turn. And I’ll admit, the white shirt, white backdrop, and tape scared me. I have lighting issues due to my hairline receding and all. And to put tape over my beard (the most loved change I’ve made) left me feeling insecure. So my actual photo may SUCK. I am glad I did it tho. The experience of being Professionally Photographed was amazing. Amazing. The camera, the direction, the flash. Awesome. Plus the cause and all. I hope my photo is awesome, yet I fear… anyhooo here I am just after at Urban Mo’s wondering if I need to build an ark to survive the floods..

I was awakened to the sound of the rain again today. That’s two days in a row. MS. Mother Nature is kind of rude, I think. Can’t she just keep it down till after nine? Then most folks are up. Or should be, anyway.

I had the pleasure of cleaning up after the cats again today. If you read my 100 things you already know I have issues with those two cats, and their litter tracking. I’ll be more clear. It’s not normal tracking. It’s as though they are grabbing paws full of it and throwing it around the house. Today it was in the bathroom. That is 20 feet (of carpeted area) away from the box. HOW DO THEY DO IT??? I just picture them at night, walking on their hind legs, with front paws pressed together, carrying litter from room to room. Laughing. Of course they’re laughing, knowing I’ll step in it first thing in the morning.

I need another cup of coffee.

UPDATE: (I like doing this lately) Goldie has tips on bathing the cats… They better behave!
