I'm bored. Entertain me, ask me questions, show me cute pictures, SOMETHING.
I am also bored! Here is an entire set of pictures of my cat. Unless you want to talk about the episode of Psych that's on now? Or I can ask you questions if you'd prefer.
Yay, Twinkie! I love the chihuahua shivering (Lulu's main chihuahua traits that show up are the shivering and being overly protective of me.) I meant to take pictures or video of Lulu and Binky today but forgot to charge the camera(s.) The snow in the back yard drifted enough that it is over Lulu's head. She was really annoyed when I put her down in it but it's just so funny to watch her burrow her way out. Both of my dogs would simply DIE if they were outside dogs. They are all about the heating or air conditioning. Lulu is always super great about going outside, doing her business and then being ready to play or come back in. Since we always have to wait on Binky her thing lately has been to do her business and then come over, shiver at me while flashing pathetic puppy eyes and want me to pick her up for the duration. Binky has taken to chattering his teeth at me - what's funny about it is that he'll normally pull that on me three seconds after we get outside before he's done anything - and then he'll eat a bunch of snow. (He ain't very bright but he's so cute and happy.)

This is a picture from a week after the first big snowstorm in December of my then 75% feral kitten cavorting on the ice. Sadly, the video was unwatchable, but imagine your normal cat cavorting, except doing so on top of a frozen pond.
(She's now only about 10% feral. Gotta keep some neighborhood cat cred'.)
When I was a kid and living in Australia, we got to hold koala bears at 2 or 3 zoos. In every instance, the koala bear dug their claws into my back shoulder, clung on for dear life, and exhaled past-its-prime eucalyptus breath right in my face.
