Coupling, vet visit, and we’re getting more snow, yay!

A friend of ours from Sweden is always sending us movies and shows he finds amusing. His taste is generally consistant with ours so it’s always enjoyable to us. However, when he offered to send us the first two seasons of Coupling i was skeptical. I became familiar with it through some news article about a failed attempt to make an US version since it had been popular in the UK. I didn’t have high hopes for it since it’s a comedy that centers around sex, and anyone can make sex jokes, and they get old quickly. Well it turns out that the show is really funny, I found myself in tears at some parts, I think they did a really nice job. But it does seem that it wouldn’t take much to turn the show into something really stupid, which is probably what happened in the failed US version.

Caligula had his first vet visit with us last night at 7:30. We got there on time, but completely forgot his vaccination record, so Michael went back home to pick it up. While he was gone I took Caligula out of his carrier when the receptionist there asked if she could see him. We were sitting in the waiting room when a vet tech came out to ask a few questions. Caligula was terrified and when she went to pet him he hissed at her and began growling! I’d never seen that from him before! He calmed down pretty quickly and let her pick him up to be weighed (3 pounds, 2 ounces). The vet was really great, he answered all the questions we had and was a really nice guy. The vet said it would be fine for Caligula to get his rabies vaccination, and he was really good about it, didn’t wiggle around a lot, just let out a loud meow. He was fine afterwards. At the end of the exam the vet assured us that he was a normal healthy kitten, who purrs very loudly and is very talkative. Yay Caligula! We’ll have to go back in a couple weeks to get the last shot of his vaccinations and the vet suggested a test for FIV and feline leukemia, and then again when he’s 6 months old to be neutered. We got home around 9 and he got lots of treats for being so good.

Today I spent a bit of time working out how I’m going to set up the menu on my new site design. I’ve decided against using divs. They are just too unpredictable at this point in time, it’s so much work to get them to work nicely in all browsers, IE is a special pain since it has limiter proper support for CSS, and NS 4.7? Forget it. If I’m going to cut off NS 4.7 as an audience I better have a very good reason for doing so, and I don’t yet. But don’t fear! I vowed to stop abusing tables so much. It’ll be a very simple table layout this time, no tables inside the content area, all that formatting will be done with CSS in p and div tags.

I also got around to installing a custom 404 page on princessleia.com that I had been meaning to put up forever.

Tonight: Cloudy with rain and snow this evening, becoming all snow, heavy at times, overnight. Low near 30F. Winds ENE at 5 to 10 mph. 4 to 6 inches of snow expected.

Yay snow! Tomorrow is supposed to bring about another inch, so it’ll be a mess in the morning. Luckily Michael can work from home if it’s as bad as they are predicting.

Michael is now bringing home a chicken cheesesteak stromboli (I’ve been wanting one for about a week) and since we’re not sure how mobile we’ll be tomorrow he’s picking up a case of beer for the weekend, yay!
