I love TV's tiki puka puka; it is my favorite drink. It comes in a large bowl with a gardenia floating in it that I put in my hair and later, if not too drunk, take home and float in water so my apt smells nice for a week.

You order it and the waitress often gives you this disclaimer: "Are you sure? It's really strong..."

Last night, after a tiki puka puka and I swear NOTHING ELSE (at trader vic's, anyway), I went home, got into my jammies, and started brushing my teeth. My cat was playing hide and seek under the rug in the hallway - the rug was essentially bunched up with a huge lump in it. I saw this, and then promptly forgot it.

So I was walking down the hallway (not sure why), brushing my teeth, and of course tripped over the huge lump in the rug, forgetting there was a lump in the rug. I became entangled, briefly, in the lump in the rug, which promptly made some hissing and yowling noises, and then bit me in the right calf. In the melee, I almost fell, but the wall caught me, giving me a nice and unique case of "wall burn" on my elbow.

And then, later, I fell asleep during an activity which I normally enjoy.

So today, I have this wall burn on my arm which still stings, feline bite marks on my right leg, and for some reason I still haven't figured out, I'm sore in my left shoulder and right buttock.

Beware!

p.s. The boo boo kitty is fine and in good working order.
