before we begin...

there's a good chance i'll decide that starting this site was not the smartest use of my time (12:53 AM). this may in fact be the only post. for the time being, let's think of it as a limited edition...only without the resale value and prestige. (note: i was presumptuous in the use of 'let's'. i was referring to the cat & i, but she just left the room for animatronic catnip and some tissue paper.)

mini-list for today -- 'things that i greatly disdain, followed by one thing i adore, so as not to appear completely cantankerous'

* misspellings (in general, but specifically on menus and signs/public postings)
* the smell of wet peanut butter
* people who take your coffee order, repeat said order back to you, then proceed to muck it up
* poorly written children's books
* poorly made movies
* the word 'special'
and finally, i adore
* my niece, who at 2 & a half has a shoe habit that rivals my own
