Cats and bets
September 12, 2007 - 5:03 pm

So you can laugh at my misfortune or cheer at my luck:

Bengals (-7.5) over Browns - I just don't see how the Browns can keep it that close.

Saints (-4.5) over Buccaneers - I think week 1 was a fluke for the Saints and the Bucs just don't seem that good.

Packers (+1) over Giants - That's right, +1. I picked it a day or two ago. I dunno why, but the odds were slow to take into account Manning's injury (or I'm just a total retard). Last odds I saw were now Packers minus a point or two.. so I've picked up 3 points on the game.

Chiefs over Bears - Yeah, that's not a typo and no spread; just a upset winner. You see, I had a few bucks left over and saw the odds +600 for an even winner. So my piddy $9.50 could turn into $57. If I lose, I'm not too worried.. and, to show I'm a true gambler, I'll only count it as a game I bet if I win.

Right now, I'm at 80%. With a lot of luck, hopefully I can hover around that mark.

In other news.. I went to this one pet store to get Loca some food and, much to my surprise and annoyance, the original cat I wanted to get (over a month later) is still there in the same cage. It's the cat that had the long ass adoption form.. that wanted references (which I didn't have) and all sort of other malarkey. Poor kitty... some adoption-Nazi's attempt at being "proactive" in finding you a good home has kept you in tiny cage for a long ass time. If the cat were black, I'd totally try to take her now.

I just giggle at the idea of black cat to be the opposite of Loca. Hopefully the black cat would be a little calmer than the freak job Loca can be.

I do "know" Loca would love a playmate, so I'm giving it serious thought... taking Loca back to Humane Society and see how she plays/likes other cats. She's never met one that I've seen.. so I've no idea how she'd freak out or not.

I don't so. Even with bumbling me, she's never hissed or anything.
