and the torpor comes in the niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight

Is it a sign of ... well, I don't know what ... when your two major accomplishments the previous evening were

1. Moving the cat dish from the now closed-off kitchen to the warmer dining room, and placing them in a cardboard lid to hopefully keep Messy Eater No. 1 from spraying his kibble all over the place (when he takes too big a bite, as is his wont, he shakes his head from side to side and chews what's left in his mouth)

and

2. Finally getting 5 stars on all the Easy Mode GH2 career songs and, excitedly awaiting what nifty reward I'd unlock, earned... the right to buy an expensive guitar shaped like the US. When I actually played all the Easy Mode songs, I earned the right to buy an expensive guitar shaped like a fish. Gee, thanks.

I've graduated to Medium and have 5-starred the first tier of songs except for that goddamn Cheap Trick one which involves a few more meedly work than I've gotten down (my squeedlies are okay) and I've 3-starred about half the songs at least, and are now working to at least 4-starring those and getting extra cash before going on to the ones I know are going to kill my wrist.

Small Quibble #1: I'd like to at least see the looks of the purchasable characters or their outfits before I choose to purchase them, or else I'm out $1800 on makin someone look, uh, goofy. But to be able to hammer out the Sabbath encore as Lars Umlaut with the double-neck guitar while in full gargoyle gear was, I think worth that particular set of purchases. Oh, and the Trogdor, Freezepop and Honest Bob tracks were worth the purchase, too. But it's gonna be a while before Hippopotamosh makes any more real big money.

Re 1: Do you want to talk about the stuff that came out of my carpet when I steam cleaned the part of the rug where Yoda likes to dribble?

Okay, no you don't. I ask dumb questions some times.

What I can tell you is that I have one cat who dribbles chewed kibble bits, one who is selective about which pieces of kibble are acceptable (throwing the "bad" kibble on the floor), and three who like to play kibble hockey (a goal is scored when they knock the kibble under the stove, fridge, or furniture).

In short, I feel your pain, but I am skeptical that a mere lid will solve the problem. We are talking about feline persons here, after all.

Frankly, as long as I get a big enough tray to capture all his food spray, I can clean it easily and not have to, like, sweep it up underneath.

Digit likes to drop his kibble in the water bowl. Maybe he thinks it will make gravy (or maybe he's old and his teeth hurt).

Not all kibble makes it to the water bowl. Heck, I'm not even sure most of the kibble makes it to the water bowl.

My rabbit takes a good half of her hay and throws it in her water bowl... and then refuses to drink the icky water or eat the icky hay. I got no theories. It's a weird pet thing.
