Because if I were in charge of the world, it would be a GREAT place... My realm consists of my Imperator Consort, two wonderful Imperatrixes-in-training (Impera and Trixie), a dog who thinks she's a cat, and a cat who thinks he's a dog.

I Am Alive
No, I am not dead (although my body would disagree). And, hey, it's only been two days, right? But this week I have been painting the living room (17 x 17 ft) and the dining room (14 x 14 ft).

Heard Nicholas Kristof tell harrowing tales of his visits to Darfur
