Tuesday Odds and Ends

[kybearfuzz]

Just the odds and the ends so far:

• I caught up on my DVR last night, watching an episode of the 1960's show "Thriller" hosted by Boris Karloff and last Sunday's mid-season premiere of "The Walking Dead." Both shows were good. No spoilers in case people haven't seen the latter yet.
  
  
• Now that Maggie the Cat is the sole kitteh in the house, I've noticed her changes in attitude. She seems to crave more affection, but she also is getting strangely playful. She's still no where near the playful that Murphy the Cat was (oh such a good kitteh), but little bursts of kitten-like behavior appears to be creeping in. The blanket on my bed is fraying in spots and those loose strands drive her crazy. She will paw at them repeatedly when they aren't moving. It makes me wonder if there was indeed some odd hierarchy in the house, with Murphy being the dominant cat, Maggie next, and, of course, the human (me) dead last. Maggie is now in charge and she appears to be enjoying it.
  
  
• The other day I thought of Margie Ison, a meterologist (formerly "weather girl" I'm sure) I used to watch on WBIR out of Knoxville, TN. She seemed to be the favorite in my household when it came to the weather and I remember her voice clearly. There was an incident where she appeared to go on TV completely drunk, slurring her words and flailing her movements. Now why someone did not stop her that night, I have no idea. She retired soon after that. On a lark, I looked her up and found she's still around and looks good for someone in her 70's.

Chris is the alpha in our home. Then Poppy, then Scruff, then me. Go figure.

LOL! It's hard to be on the bottom rung, isn't it? :)

I remember "Thriller" I just had to hear the music to scare the willies out of me. I didn't watch the show because it would give me nightmares.

It's a strange show. It started out with a mystery/crime thriller theme which then segued into the horror realm. I'm enjoying the show since I hadn't really seen many episodes.

Maybe the kitteh is opening up with more freedom? Not dominant, but lonely?

I've wondered about that. She and Murphy never really got along in that cozy, sleep next to each other-kind of way. I've debated on getting another cat, but feel that it could backfire on me easily.

Our pooch rules the house. Most of the time. Woe unto me if I am tardy with the snacks!

When you mentioned Thriller, I mistook the name for the "Tingler" which I think was also a Vincent Price movie, with a gimmicky electro-shock in the theatre seats.

Heh! I've heard of the "Tingler"... it looks like a fun movie :)
