Um… I can’t say what I want to say about this – but - see for yourself.

I’ve been meaning to talk about this, but things have been crazy and sad around my house lately, so talking about my conversion to pants seemed, well – stupid.

So, let me get the serious stuff out of the way, so I can finally put my focus back on triviality where it belongs.

We lost one of our kitties last week and it was hard. Very – extremely hard. Too hard to talk too much about in a whole lot of detail, but I can tell you that he was sick for a very long time. He had Chronic Renal Failure (something that first cropped up around Christmas two years ago). When he started showing signs right after our wedding we began aggressive treatment and force feedings. A few months later he started eating on his own and within weeks was fat and fuzzy and all better. We hoped it was gone for good, but – it wasn’t.

Right around our anniversary he stopped eating and started losing weight extremely fast. We took him to the vet again and administered treatment in the exact same way as before. It was rough. He would seem better for a few days and then go down hill – then get better – then get worse. He just never got back to himself. I can’t explain how sad, painful, stressful, horrible (etc..) it is to watch a pet go through something like this and I truly hope none of you ever have to experience it first hand. On the advice of our vet and our own conscience – we had to let him go. It fucking sucked beyond all sucking and writing about it now is making me get teary at work so…moving on.

In other related bummer news, Lars has been extremely sick for the past few months. The first diagnosis was gastritis, but the medicine he was prescribed hasn’t helped at all and upon further research today, it’s seeming more and more like gallbladder disease …or at least something other than gastritis. He’s going to the doctor again tomorrow and I’m just hoping we finally get some answers so we can get him feeling like himself again. He’s been feeling awful and it’s really hard to watch one of the usually-cheeriest people in the world feel like shit 24/7.

Ugh. But, in happier news – I’m totally loving pants! Who knew they were so easy to put on in the morning? Who knew they kept you so much warmer in the winter? Who knew that they shaped my butt so nicely?? I mean, seriously – a lot of my life may be in the toilet right now, but at least my booty is fly.

One of the best features offered by WordPress is the ability to view the search engine terms people have used to find your blog. I think I mentioned before that at least two someones stumbled upon the K-factory by searching the terms “moose knuckle”… And well, I think today they’ve been topped by the no less than 4 people searching the terms “photocopied boobs” and “fuck my own asshole.”

How disappointed they all must have been to find posts about ill-fitting bras and George W. Bush.

That’s what I get for using dirty words as tags.

Okay – let’s just start with the “Har! Har” things that I want. You know, just in case I have any rich friends or family I don’t know about. Tee hee!

The Canon Rebel…with lens. Sigh. If anyone has 900 bucks burning a hole in their pocket – eh hem! *cough* Costco! *cough*

The Macbook Pro! I know, I know I have a Macbook and I’ve loved it for like totally over a year now, but I want a little more Umph…a little more screen size, functionality, durability and speed. I’m just saying.

The DVDs I want pretty much go without saying…and the Ikea gift card – well – la doy.

Anything hand made, neat-old knick-knacks, mix tapes (cds, etc…), found treasures…an iPhone – you know, little stuff.

I thought I would really be able to come up with like a million things, but after mentioning the Canon Rebel and Macbook Pro I just started daydreaming and the whole post turned to shit.
