Crouching Axolotl, Humping Rats

[rejectomorph]

Once again I have been seeing unofficial constellations. Most of them are beasts. Wherever I look in the night sky, they pop out at me. The odd thing is that I still can't find the bear that everybody else sees. I've also never been able to find Capricorn, which is my astrological sign. Someday I'll get one of those charts that tells where everything is. If Capricorn, or some part of it, turns out to be part of the Humping Rats, then I will claim that as my sign.

Hey, Dude. What's your sign?

Oh, I'm a Humping Rat.

They're all made up, anyway. Whoever came up with the signs in the first place could just as easily seen entirely different constellations. I do it all the time. Maybe it's a goat trait.

This night feels slightly less cold than have recent nights. Either that, or I'm getting used to it, (as a result of keeping this room unheated most of the night, for Sluggo's sake.) I think we're due for a warmer spell. There was no Indian Summer to speak of this year. It's getting rather late in the season for it to appear now, but then the weather has been odd all year, so it wouldn't be a big surprise to have a balmy day or two. I always enjoy those little breaks in the natural routine. A warm spell in December is like a nice rainstorm in July or August.

I think I'll try summoning a warm day by using a summery icon. Then I'm going to try to get to sleep early. I'm pretending that something interesting is going happen this afternoon.

Too much starch in my diet.

As your friend I have to tell you that you are dangerously close to forgetting your boundaries. This situation is akin to paying six hundred dollars to autopsy a cat or turning over the livingroom to the kids as a "playroom." Remember, you are OWNER. Don't let Sluggo act like that's not the case. Once a machine forget who its owner is it will begin to act however it wants (defragging the hard drive when you're away, inviting in scripts and hackers while you're in the bathroom). Now if Sluggo is really sick, running a temperature, it might be OK to keep the room cool for a night or two... just to avoid losing data... but if Sluggo just prefers a cooler room, then I would sit down and go over the rules again. If he starts to complain, shut him down for a minute or two.

Too late for warnings about Sluggo, I fear. He learned his power when he found that I wouldn't let the cats tread on his keyboard. He reads this journal, too, and knows that he is my primary link to the outside world. I no longer have any secrets from him. Furthermore, he has the pictures! I don't dare take the chance of offending him, lest he post them on the Internets!

Now, I am going outside to take one more look at the sky. I believe that the Aussie Footballer is about to set. Though, in truth, I'm getting a bit wary about looking at the stars. I have the uncomfortable feeling the constellation of Goatse might come into existence before my very eyes!
