Damn Love-Bugs

That's right, it's lovebug season here in Florida. Don't know what they are? Look 'em up on Google or Yahoo. I don't care what anyone says, they are annoying, they have no point of existance, and they're EVERYWHERE! They invade my house, my room, and they bring in with them their pathogens! >_<

In additional news, I got to name my father's kitten. I don't know the type of cat he is exactly (Tabby, Calico, etc.), but I know that he's white and has a grey diamond on his head. At least that's what my father told me over the phone. His name is Manekineko, but we call him Neko for short. The name Manekineko goes back to feudal Japan, where a feudal lord was passing by in a land one day. As he was passing by, there was a cat that made a threatening gesture to him. At this sight, the lord jumped back, and from the spot the lord had jumped back from, a strip of lightning had bounced down from the heavens, leaving a blackened patch of Earth. The cat had saved his life. From that moment on, the cat was looked on upon as an incarnation of the Goddess of Mercy. Cats such as the one in the story are told to bring great luck and success. That's my understanding of the story. The name literally means Beckoning Cat. But, I do not know the type of cat the one in the story was as well. ^^; Sorry.
