Thinking again about the ongoing & widespread polemic against people expressing affection for their pets on the web, years ago, it was personal homepages with animated gifs of scotty dogs singled out for scorn, now it's blogs with endless tiresome details of people's lives, with the doings of pets singled out as the paradigm of irrelevance. I think what gets under people's skin the most, the unforgivable sin, is people appearing to care more about anything than they care about how they appear to others.

Peretz is going nuts in the basement. Now he's walking back & forth squeaking.

People's contempt, their matters of significance, it's all crap.

P's finally gotten around to eating his breakfast.

Wish I were out showing somebody a good time, storm's coming, staying in with novel instead.
