Catfight - As Promised
Callie had been hissing at Gregg for a while. It took Gregg close to 2 weeks to lose his patience and show some color to Callie. The first 'physical argument' I noticed was during their meal time.

Gregg and Callie
Just adopted them on Saturday from the animal shelter. I was actually looking for a HUGE cat like George. I actually found one, but he was mean and not friendly at all. I found the other one, which is not as big, but she is too shy.
Black cat was named Gregg by the caretakers in shelter. M and J decided to nickname him Goyo. He is 7-yr old, medium size, all black except a small white patch on his chest. Gregg grew up in the animal shelter, some one dropped him with his 8 siblings by the shelter and all his siblings were adopted except him. Probably because he is black. Very very smart cat, and seems to understand what is happening when he was adopted. But he doesn't like to take picture, cause he always turn away or frown at the camera. Planning to try to teach him some trick such as sit etc.
Patchy one (Calico) was named Callie. M and J nicknamed her Lupe, after Guadalupe. She is 1 yr-old. Callie could be really big, since her paws are bigger relative to her body, but I am going to spay her on Friday, so she might not be that big after all. Callie arrived at the shelter 2 weeks before being adopted and just had her 7 babies. She hissed at Gregg when Gregg is around her. Gregg will just meowed at her a little, seems like telling her to chill down, then Gregg will back away.

Unknown
Haven't been blogging for quite a while. I was never a good blogger and I think I will never be a good blogger. Its too big of a commitment to make and I have some sort of phobia for commitment. The biggest commitment I made so far is to pursue my academic achievement, that is, if you can call that a commitment.
Many things happened lately. Some good, some neutral and some not-so-good. I don't know where to start, where I should start with and what I should or shouldn't be blogging. With so many unknown, my natural solution will be --> not to blog them.
Its really early in the morning now. I was working on some stuff just now and my brain ceased to fully function. I decided that I should stop working and go to sleep. All went well until I turned off my computer and trying to fall asleep, I found out that my brain activity is back. Now I figured out why my brain wasn't fully functioning. Its probably due to the fact that I had been working on that freaking model since Wednesday the last and I still didn't get anywhere close to where I want to be. Its time to let the freaking model to incubate.
Looking forward to Wednesday, big cheese will be out of town for 2 days.....

MS Office 2007
It was announced on the college daily email update a couple days ago, that Office 2007 is available for students to download. I wasn't very enthusiastic at the beginning. JC was interested in it and he downloaded the software. So I installed it on my laptop and later, on my work desktop.
I was editing some of my work that includes tables and figures using the MS Words 2007 for the first time. One of the new feature on MS Office 2007 is something called "Ribbon", which is a bunch of commands, but instead of using text only user interface, it comes with a graphical user interface. This ribbon thingy is taking up more working space than it is worth, so I hide them when not in use. Then another problem arise, when you need to search for a command, you need to CLICK from one ribbon to another, instead of just gliding from one to another like the older version and the menu will drop down. What a waste of motion economy!
MS effort to 'revolutionize' the office is definitely a good one. I needed to open up another word document, and I can't find the "File" menu. So fine, I will use CTRL + O, CTRL + S etc. I needed to format some of the sections, adding a Heading etc. and I can't find the "Format" menu. I tried to insert a row in my existing table and I can't find the freaking "Table" menu!!! I decided to customize the freaking ribbon thingy and change back to the older text version and guess what, I CAN'T!!!! I tried to customize it and I can't figure it out. It might be embedded in the software, but I can't find it. I tried to use the Help function, and frankly, after 10 minutes, I gave up.
Just the thought that I need to re-learn everything again, after so many years using Office just turned me off. Then, thinking about my dissertation, I am seriously considering uninstalling the MS Office 2007.
Piece of advice, if you do not have hours to learn everything from scratch, then DO NOT install MS Office 2007. @*^%(#&$^!^$&%$&#@^%*$^@!#$^!)@&#%$^*!^%^@)$#^&@$^%@$&%
