Caution: CAT BLOG AHEAD
Including random thoughts on life, art, business, stuff, and occasionally Real Estate.
What is a CAT BLOG?
According to Seth Godin: "Cat blogs are for, by, and about the person blogging. A cat blog is about your cat and your dating travails and your boss and whatever else you feel like sharing in your public diary."
Well, I am the boss, my dating years are behind me, but I do love my cats.
Enjoy!
A Blue Moon, Winter Solstice, and a Total Lunar Eclipse, a rare and magical convergence.
Total Lunar Eclipse: December 20 beginning at 9:29PST and ending December 21 at 3:05PST
Blue Moon: December 21, 2010 will be a full moon, the fourth full moon since the Autumnal Equinox in September; which is the original meaning of the term "Blue Moon"
Winter Solstice: December 21, 2010 3:38PST
Blessings, peace and joy to all.

If you search online, you will find several tutuorials such as http://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=293427798680 Which is great, but I thought I could make it a little quicker and easier.
1. Log in to FaceBook
2. Go to http://www.facebook.com/notifications.php
3. Click on via RSS. This will display an RSS feed of notifications, that is, comments and activities of your FaceBook friends.
4. Look up at your browser's address bar. See the word notifications?
5. Place your cursor at the end (or beginning) of the word notifications and delete it using your backspace key (or delete key).
6. Type in the word status in the same place. Be sure not to delete the forward slash or the dot before the letters php. Hit Enter.
And there you have an RSS feed of your own FaceBook Status updates, that you can use to populate a widget on a website, for example.....

Sunday, December 5, 2010 at 1 p.m.
The 66th Northeast Los Angeles Holiday Parade will officially bring in the holiday season on Sunday, December 5, 2010 at 1 p.m. The city's second oldest annual holiday parade offers has become a great attraction for entertainers and audience alike!
The list of participants has multiplied in the past two years, offering more marching bands, drill teams, dancers, musicians, floats, equestrian units, celebrities and community representatives.
As in years past, Santa Claus has already confirmed his visit to Northeast L.A. and will be accepting letters from children as part of the Holiday celebration.
This annual volunteer-organized community parade is being presented by the Highland Park Chamber of Commerce with collaboration from Los Angeles City Councilmen Ed Reyes (CD 1) and Jose Huizar (CD 14) as well as the City of Los Angeles Department of Cultural Affairs and numerous local businesses and organizations.
