had a fight with President Ford today


came home to this bullshit and for what?

because this morning Ford Prefect was being mouthy, as he is every morning and I was trying to doze and he ruined it and was following Tyrone around getting underfoot and yelling and I said just spray him with the bottle so he goes away and so Tyrone did, and Ford Fairlane went away for a while but came back to harass me so I got 'im in the face with the spray bottle and he was quiet and watched us from around corners all morning.

came home and what did I find

Tyrone's pencil sharpener busted open with pencil shavings scattered everywhere. not a single piece of paper touched, not a pencil out of place. just the sharpener in pieces all over the floor with wood shavings spread around the living room

and my leg lamp Christmas tree ornament (kept out because my mom made me superstitious), the leg lamp near the door, the torso by the stereo system, a hand on the table near the lamp. a head and a foot still unaccounted for.

just enough to show us that we both pissed him off, but not enough for us to get really mad at him,

not enough to spray him with the bottle, to be sure.

at least he didn't pee on our shoes.
