desperate housewife watches kitty soap opera thus learning the importance of imparting ancient wisdom

i guess i'll just come out with it - we have started watching desperate housewives. and if you're watching it too - we're a season behind over here, so nobody spoil it for us. it's not all that strange that i like this show, but what's surprising is that philippe likes it too! hehe. go figure THAT out!

and the only other story i have to tell is really much more interesting. there are several young cats where we live and i love to watch them while i am washing dishes. back when they were kittens, i saw the mama kitty "gray kitty" teaching her young black and white son "oreo" (aside: "oreio" is a greek word meaning "nice") how to catch, kill and eat a big fatty grasshopper. i was a bit touched, being as how i was pregnant then, and marvelled at nature and nurture, and "teach a man to fish" and all that..

well today, i was washing dishes (again! ..i know) and i saw "oreo" teaching one of "gray kitty's" new kittens (oh - yes, second batch - did i mention the neighbors are trying to catch & spay this little kitty-making-machine?) how to catch, kill and eat a big fatty grasshopper too, almost like an older brother passing on some great wisdom*. i was not as sentimental as i was when i was pregnant, but it was definitely very "nice" to see. of course, "oreo" is a natural-born grasshopper killer, and i have witnessed him literally climb a wall to chest height to get at one. i felt like i had my own little kitty theater going on here. that may be the only part i'll miss about dafnis street.

PS- i'll post a pic of my new hairs when i get around to it
