**********************************************************************************
So, my birthday is on the 19th. That's like 2.5 weeks away. If anyone is willing to buy me a birthday present off my wishlist I would love you forever. Know what I really want besides these (which are so very very cool)?? This:
How did I not know there was a 3-disc special edition for this movie. Oh....my.....god....must have.
So, uh, yeah. I am begging shamelessly for gifts. Reason being that we are spending all our money on moving me to Colorado, so I can't buy anything for my birfday. I am also not getting a birthday dinner/party since I will be white-knuckle driving in the snow on some god forsaken road in Colorado that day. Yeah, I am playing the pity card too. And I totally don't mind "used" items. I love buying used items on Amazon instead of new ones cuz then you can get so much more!! I love buying $40.00 books for 5 bucks.
Ok I am done begging.
/plea for presents

I hate raccoons. Last night, as I was watching "Wheel of Fortune" (yeah, I watch it, so what??) I hear a snuffling at the sliding glass door that leads to my backyard. I had it open a little so the cats could go in and out. I turn and look and there is a raccoon half in the door and 3 more behind it. Now, I've had problems with them before when I had my pond out there. They discovered it, murdered all my fish and dirtied the water horribly. But I haven't had to deal with them in over 2 months, and I don't have water back there anymore. So, I was surprised when I saw them coming.
I leaped up and start hissing and yelling at them, brandishing a 3 foot piece of plastic pipe. Usually that will make them run away. However, this time they just stood there looking at me and trying to come further inside. I didn't want to get too close cuz those fuckers mean and the last thing I need is to get attacked by a passel of raccoons. So I lean forward and smack it with the plastic pipe. And it backs up a few inches but then comes back!
At this point I remembered an 8ft length of wood that I had recently stained but hadn't cut down yet. So I grab it and start poking the raccoon back. It turns around and jumps off the step but then turns back around and just looks at me. And the other 3 are standing there watching too. I ended up smacking the leader on the end before it turned and led them all back under the fence. I chased them with this wooden stick, smacking them on the ass until they are all gone.
I go back to the computer and not 15 minutes later I hear one of my cats hissing and growling near the door, and I look over and they are back!!! So I grab the wood stick again and push the raccoon off the steps. They all start standing up, looking at me. It was weird because they never acted aggressive, more curious and inquisitive. Once they were outside the fence, then they'd growl. But when we confronted each other, they were just curious. And they wouldn't leave!! So I hauled back and slapped one of them across the hip--hard. Then I smacked the face of another and the ass of one more. All the while chasing them back out of the yard. I couldn't believe they wouldn't run away. I am beating them with a stick and they stuck around! After the second time, they didn't come back.
Now, I kinda felt bad hitting them. But they are dangerous around here and have no fear. There have been dogs that were killed by raccoons here. People from Carmel and Pacific Grove will transplant them here to Ft. Ord instead of calling the wildlife department. They think that since there is a lot of abandoned housing and open fields that it's ok (it's not, it's actually illegal) and that the raccoons will be ok. But this isn't a good habitat for them. There is no natural water and no food. The only food they can get to is food left out by humans and trash. And since those are the only places they are forced to come right into contact with humans.
So it saddens me to see them and deal with them because I know it's not their fault for being here, but I have to protect myself and my animals. Hence, I really hate them right now, but I feel so bad for them. What a conundrum. *sigh*
