The world makes perfect sense to me today

I’ve been stuck on another Jonathan Coulton song. This time it is Skullcrusher Mountian. I had though about sharing the lyrics when I found this bit of video perfection, it has everything, Monkeys, Monsters, Ponies, Dancing Gnomes and World of Warcraft Humor.

Welcome to my secret lair on Skullcrusher Mountain
I hope that you’ve enjoyed your stay so far
I see you’ve met my assistant Scarface
His appearance is quite disturbing
But I assure you he’s harmless enough
He’s a sweetheart, calls me master
And he has a way of finding pretty things and bringing them to me

I’m so into you
But I’m way too smart for you
Even my henchmen think I’m crazy
I’m not surprised that you agree
If you could find some way to be
A little bit less afraid of me
You’d see the voices that control me from inside my head
Say I shouldn’t kill you yet

I made this half-pony half-monkey monster to please you
But I get the feeling that you don’t like it
What’s with all the screaming?
You like monkeys, you like ponies
Maybe you don’t like monsters so much
Maybe I used too many monkeys
Isn’t it enough to know that I ruined a pony making a gift for you?

I’m so into you
But I’m way too smart for you
Even my henchmen think I’m crazy
I’m not surprised that you agree
If you could find some way to be
A little bit less afraid of me
You’d see the voices that control me from inside my head
Say I shouldn’t kill you yet

Picture the two of us alone inside my golden submarine
While up above the waves my doomsday squad ignites the atmosphere
And all the fools who live their foolish lives may find it quite explosive
But it won’t mean half as much to me if I don’t have you here

You know it isn’t easy living here on Skullcrusher Mountain
Maybe you could cut me just a little slack
Would it kill you to be civil?
I’ve been patient, I’ve been gracious
And this mountain is covered with wolves
Hear them howling, my hungry children
Maybe you should stay and have another drink and think about me and you

I’m so into you
But I’m way too smart for you
Even my henchmen think I’m crazy
I’m not surprised that you agree
If you could find some way to be
A little bit less afraid of me
You’d see the voices that control me from inside my head
Say I shouldn’t kill you yet
I shouldn’t kill you yet
I shouldn’t kill you yet

Cat Fud

I went to Petco at lunch today to pick up some Tartar Control Cat food, now called Oral Care. Sukhi is willing to eat some of it (fingers crossed) so I’m mixing it in with her other dry food.

I understand that Pet products are big industry in the U.S. but I wasn’t prepared for Breed Specific Cat Food.

Cat Food

I have the option of buying Siamese 38 cat food.

Tailor Made Nutrition for Siamese Cats

Siamese 38 has been designed with a specific kibble that helps slow the rate of ingestion and promotes chewing. By inducing more thorough chewing, a “brushing” effect occurs. Siamese 38 also contains sodium tripolyphosphate, which binds calcium in the mouth. By binding the calcium, the bacteria associated with plaque can not incorporate it into the formation of tartar.

5 Star Nap

I’ve had to teach Sukhi to sleep/nap with me. I worry about her upbringing and the sad state of affairs that led to this point.  I had a 5 Star nap with Sukhi. She was leaning on me at arms length. I fell asleep and woke up with a handful of purring fur.

Paul & I ran the Helvetia Half Marathon for the 4th consecutive year. Long runs = long naps. When we got back on Saturday, her squeakiness was impatient for the napping to begin.

Sukhi is back on antibiotics for her gums. The vet suggested the second round. Her gums looked great both times while she was on antibiotics. I’m looking into a number of other things to try on an ongoing basis. I really am not looking forward to learning to brush her teeth. Her mouth is very private. I joined a yahoo group in hopes someone there has been through something similar. No cat care help so far but they are all about sharing cat pictures. I can’t help myself….

Dakinii - Level 38

I was reminiscing with a friend about Zork after he discovered my IF pages. I have to say, it would have been difficult to imagine, in the 80′s, that I would be able to play Zork on my phone.

I had to admit to myself that WoW and Everquest are as fun and complicated as Nethack. I know thats a very nerdy thing to say and think but for so many years the graphical games were as not interesting and complex. I think I still prefer Everquest but WoW has the advantage that I can play it with restraint.

Its hard to imagine why there are people who don’t play. As my warlock Dakinii, I can wield great and destructive elemental power. I have a blue demon minion and can wear a pointy hat. My virtual Siamese follows me around and is as helpful as the real thing. (And in two levels I get a flaming black horse)
