Many cats think they're (better than) people. My pet, Tips, goes one better by eating people food. That's food intended for people, not food made of people. Tips could never be considered a humanitarian.

Here's what her shopping list would look like if she didn't have slaves to go out & buy groceries for her:

1. Marshmallows
2. Pickled Beet juice
3. Bolognese sauce
4. Butter
5. Lasagna (probably)
6. Breakfast cereals
7. Spaghetti
8. Crisps

9. Mixed vegetables
10. Cake Icing
11. Mac 'n' Cheese

Of course I don't actually feed that stuff to her. I'm too stingy to share my food. She steals my leftovers instead. Unlike me, her diet of human food seems to be doing her figure the world of good.

Looks like Tips has overdosed on anchovies again.

Here's a blog post from Charleston City Paper's Arts & Entertainment editor, John Stoehr back in December '07 (sounds like a long time ago, doesn't it?):

"Be sure to check out Nick Smith’s review of an old-school screen printing show at 52.5. The exhibit, set among racks of CDs and punk ‘zines, runs through Dec. 31. And while you’re at it, Mr. Nick has a new novel out called Undead on Arrival.

"The official launch party was earlier this month at The Black Cart. He’ll do a book signing and reading on Jan. 12 at 2 p.m. Barnes & Noble, 1812 Sam Rittenberg Blvd. Smith, evidently a lover of Felis silvestris catus, is also the author Milk Treading and The Kitty Killer Cult. For more information, call the bookstore at (843) 556-8979 or go to http://arts.ccpblogs.com/2007/12/19/journal-screen-printing-101-and-mr-nick/www.bn.com."
