all is not lost, not yet

Well, wish in one hand and crap in the other and see which one piles up first. - Mike Nelson

I wish I knew what was up with Super Lumina's right front tire.

I wish there was a presidential candidate I could vote for without feeling like I've compromised my principles.

I wish I could take a month off of work to catch up on the massive backlog of books, movies, videogames, and household projects that has built up over the past couple years.

I wish the Pepi the feral cat would let me get close enough to see if there is something wrong with his (or her; most likely "her") teeth.

I wish I could find a decent Wordpress template that fits Armagideon Time's needs without requiring massive modification.

I wish I knew what box my Psychotronic film guides got packed up into.

I wish I was immortal and indestructable.

I wish my gut could properly process whole milk.

I wish the health insurance people would send me the last piece of paperwork I need to file my taxes.

I wish I could find Marmalade, the orange twenty-pound feral cat, a good home.

I wish that comeuppance would come to those in need of it.

I wish I had the time to get a haircut, so I wouldn't have to see a rough facsimile of the Wild Angels-era Peter Fonda every time I looked in the mirror.

I wish my wishes were as witty and creative as the ones in this excellent track...

"I wish you'd stop eating bacon, Pop," Jack Lemmon said to Burgess Meredith.

And I wish I hadn't reflexively considered getting in the car and driving north with a cat carrier, thinking of a twenty-pound orange cat.

Marmy Mermelstein is a massive glob of sweetness...as long as there are no other male cats involved. The she-cats seem to adore him.

All the other ferals are happy with their subsidized free-spirit lifestyles, but Marms has, on more than one occasion, thrown his bulk up against our living room window as a way of giving us a hint about where he'd like to be.

I will, you understand, be killed in my sleep if I present this to the crew.

What a sweet kitty! For a feral, he has a gorgeous coat.
