20 June 2004

I bought a newspaper this afternoon, for the first time in months, and was amazed to discover that America's second-greatest living writer, Berkley Breathed, has in these dark and troubled times returned to the classic art of cartooning with a new strip called "Opus", featuring all the lovable, hilarious characters from the sorely-missed "Bloom County". Though the standards of journalism have sunk incredibly low in the print media in this country, it's good to see that the funny pages have retained their excellent form and unwavering standards.

I used the sports and travel sections to clean up the kitten's all-too-intentional "accidents" on the kitchen linoleum. For the price, you'd think they could use a rather more absorbant paper than the present, practically waterproof stuff.

After the third such "accident" by my unwanted extraterrestrial houseguest, I shredded the local section of the paper into a lasagna pan as a makeshift litterbox. It was a painful concession to make, but the alternative - cleaning further spots out of the carpet - is simply too time consuming in my busy, demanding day. Besides, I'm running low on baking soda.

I hate father's day; it's starry-eyed adoration of those who have sired children serves only to remind me that I never have, nor had the opportunity to do so.
