Quick randomish thoughts

a) I have a sudden, inexplicable urge to detonate small bombs inside of very large kevlar balloons (with myself being on the outside, some distance away -- and high-speed photography would, of course, be involved).

b) Who set the kitty-alarm for 5:30 AM? (For at least a week straight, she's jumped on me and then begged for treats right around 5:30.)
