Kitty trouble

O.K. we have a little kitten in our house now, my stepson named him Spidey (the cat is solid white by the way and pink eyes). We have all fallen in love with this cat and especially me grown attached to the little 'hellcat'. But yesterday the landlord came by and told us we could not have the cat, even though he said we could beforehand, and that we would still have to pay the $400 pet deposit, of which $175 is non-refundable) even though just a month maybe two ago he said that we could get a cat if we had a letter written by Stephen, my stepson, to him requesting that he could keep a cat.

All conditions were met and still the WORTHLESS-ASS-FUCKED-STEROID-HOUND-OF-A-SKYCAP-COCK-SUCKER still won't let us have the fucking cat. So now I have to figure out of I can keep the cat and afford to pay the $400 deposit or maybe get the KITTEN neutered AND declawed in order to bring down the price of the deposit.

The Road to Vegas

So I am going to Las Vegas on Wednesday morning and I am going to be there for about 5 days or so for the Las Vegas Truck Show. Yeah yeah yeah Vegas is great and all but I have three main things here that are hanging against me on this trip:

1)I am not going with my wife Courtney, who I am going to miss dearly
2)I am not seeing the Cirque du Soleil's O when I am there
3)I am going to Vegas on a business trip that will occupy AT LEAST 9 hours everyday I am there, excluding the 13th, Sunday, when I will be flying home at around 1.pm.

These three factors have already taken away greatly from mypleasurable experiences availiable on the trip. If only I could have conned the company into paying the $160 ticket for Cirque I would have been happy! BUT NOOOOOOO!!!! They don't want Brian to have a good time on the trip to Vegas, they want him to WORK!! I mean what the FUCK!?!?! =) I hopefully will have fun.

I finished Spellfire by Ed Greenwood

Well I finished reading Spellfire by Ed Greenwood and it was a fairly good book. I must admit that I started reading the book to hear mainly about Shandril Shessair's, main character, infamous ability of slinging spellfire, an extremely rare ability to throw raw magic as flames to harm and heal and also absorbs spell affects thrown at her. Needless to say even in her vast inexperience she is an extremely dangerous person capable of slaying dragons, men, and mountains alike.

It is a very atypical Forgotten Realms novel since the main character, for more than half of the book, is a snot-nosed weakling incapable of defending herself against the dangers of the wild, much less the Zhents, the Followers of Bane, and the Cult of the Dragon, not to mention any mage of note coming after her in a repetitious folly of certain and the last second save of a Knight of Myth Drannor. All of that aside it is a very good book capable of holding your attention as each page turns to see how powerful and dangerous this spellfire really is. Overall a good book.
