America's Talent and our cat's killer claws

Somehow, we got sucked into the America's Got Talent show. There are some weird, funny, and genuinely talented people on the show. My gripe with the show will be if they let a singer win. First, there are LOTS of good singers out there. It's a nice talent, but it's also a widely shared one. Second, there are already other shows exclusively for singers. I really hope that someone with a non-singing talent wins. I like the magicians (though they're a little "dime a dozen" too), and especially the acrobat/gymnast groups.

Our little grey cat, Miji, has really sharp claws that she's not afraid to use. Marc has realized this again twice in the past week. A few nights ago, he was holding her when I made a noise in the bathroom. She slashed his hand, right on one of his palm wrinkles. It was pretty bad. Now that it has started to heal, it was inevitable that something else would happen. Tonight, he was holding her on the couch, and she was looking out the window when something spooked her. She slashed the same hand again, but in a different place--plus she got his lip. Darn cat. They're both so skittish. Now we have to wait for Miji to fall asleep so that we can trim her claws. That's the only way we can do it, because otherwise she's a total wiggle worm.

Work has been pretty normal lately. It's still busy, and now we're going to move again. Laura and I will still be sharing an office, but now it'll be bigger. Yea. I still don't have an office phone, and now they're not going to work on it since we're moving again. Bummer.

The Scion goes in tomorrow to get upgrades. The most exciting part will be the satellite radio since it only has a single disc CD player. We've become so spoiled with our satellite radio in the other cars. It makes it really hard to listen to commercials on the regular radio. Such a tough life.
