hamster chasing...

so i tortured poor whoosie (mrs. whoosie whatsit) last night trying to look at her little ear and a tiny bite mark on her back. i'm hoping for the best that her siblings beat the crap out of her and that she'll be ok. tonight i may try to hydrogen peroxide her wounds, as stated here, but it's really quite difficult to get a hamster to stay still and i don't want to traumatize her. we used to put bacitracin on the koi they didn't seem to mind except that they were out of water. in this respect i guess a hamster is easier.
stone face came over last night and we watched the state of the union. mostly we just yelled at the tv. there were 69 applause breaks where upon half of the room stood and half sat there sort of dazed. the close ups of hillary clinton and teddy kennedy were the best parts. it was like all the democrats had nail files and were just sitting there shaping while he rambled on. even the military personnel he brought in to clap had faces that said "do we have to?".
in other news the town of mt. desert voted to pump a whole bunch of sewage over a mountain to dump it into seal harbor. they approved cutting jobs and funding this very expensive project that will dump even more sewage into martha stewarts backyard. it's the most ridiculous scheme but it is sort of amusing that it's seal harbor of all places. mary says you never see her around town. funny that.
i'm not expecting it to be a very busy day. i'm hoping it will be better than yesterday. i was a wild and crazy fool yesterday. making lots of mistakes at work, burning myself with hot water and setting off the fire alarm, i can't remember anything else but i was very lucky to have an annie come play with me and keep me from offing myself. by accident. as i am prone. to accidents. err...
