Well, I had wanted to write a blog about this great new site that I've found called Wordle, including awesome images of word clouds, but no, my computer network has now decided that it would for some reason prefer not to post photos.

I'd like to thank the artist of my fav comic strip, Basic Instructions (click to view if you've never read it... HILARIOUS) for introducing me to Wordle.com , a website for generating masterful word clouds. What is a word cloud? Basically, you post any text into a blank field and Wordle will convert it into art of awesomeness, arranging the words in random and beautiful ways. The more a word is used, the larger it is used. You can also customize your Wordle creation by changing the font, color, layout and other items. I have been playing with it all afternoon making works of art out of favorite song lyrics. As some of you may know, I am a huge fan of doing stuff like that as my profile banners have all been song snipits. I want so badly to post some of my creations, but my computer network stinks on ice. Just in case it is just me, here is the code for one I made with my fav Counting Crows song, Cowboys (the same song that inspired my current banner):

Edit: Yay! I got it to post. You can also view it where it will not be so fuzzy at :http://wordle.net/gallery/wrdl/122790/Cowboys

Hopefully you can see that, but if not, trust me it is awesome and I will post it asap. For more info, here is the blog for the creator of Wordle: http://blog.wordle.net/

In other news I have been getting some really strange looks this week due to the fact that I have been doing a pretty good impression of an attempted suicide patient this week. My wrist on my right arm is all wrapped up in nice thick layers of gauze that with this strategic positioning cause people to do a quick second take. Especailly in the WalGreens when I had to buy more bandages. But not to worry, despite my rather uncheerful mood last week, nothing quite that sinister happened. No, in fact, the real story is much much lamer.

A bit of background first. I have a kitty that I heap tons and tons of affection and attention on. She is my little fuzzy baby and I adore her in everyway. And thus, she is spoiled beyond reckoning. I learned early that she does not much like to drink out of her water bowl in the kitchen, and instead prefers to drink from a glass on the dresser next to my bed. So every night when I go to bed, I get Misty a glass of water, set it on the dresser and often lift her on the dresser so she can drink. Yeah, I know. I know all about it. The only thing keeping me from being a crazy cat lady is I only have one.

So anyway, the other night I did my nightly ritual of serving the cat water and lifting her to the dresser. Cept my dresser was a bit messy and something fell over as I was putting her down and she freaked and tipped over the water and fell of the dresser. And me, not thinking grabbed said falling wet cat. And yes, that was a really really stupid idea. So now I have a scared, wet, panicing cat in my arms, and if you know anything about cats, they have sharp parts. Well, some of her sharp parts lodged themselves firmly into the inside of my wrist and went to town. One of her perfectly aimed claws managed to actually basically cut my vein, you know the big one in your wrist and kind of ripped it nice and vertically. In addition, it promptly got nice and infected. Yay! It has been a week and I still have to keep it covered. Most of the shallow scratches have mostly healed, but the one right on the vein is still pretty nastily looking. It doesn't hurt as much as it did (the first few days it hurt to do anything with it, especially hold things and type), but now it is very very itchy. I'm not sure which is worse. And I have pretty much come to the conclusion that I am gonna have a nice scar there too. And if one more person asks me if I tried to cut my wrist, I'm gonna have to smack someone and hard.

Since I was editing, I decided to post a pic of my kitty. Doesn't she just look like a killer:

Well I hope you are all having a decent week. I keep thinking it is Friday and then remembering it is Thursday and being disappointed. Oh well. This weekend I am heading to the beach for my mom's birthday. I'm excited cause I get to see my brother who is coming down from NY and I don't get to see him as much as I like. Just another reason I want it to be Friday as I pick him up at the airport tomorrow at 5 pm. Yay!!

Okay, here is a Word Cloud of this blog... ENJOY http://wordle.net/gallery/wrdl/123898/Every_Word_Cloud_Has_A_Silver_Lining
