Some coworkers with kids just told me that it's been the rule for awhile now that kids are not allowed to bring peanut butter to school (in sandwiches and otherwise), due to the prevalence of peanut allergies. Is that true?! This is super shocking to me. PB&J is *the* school lunch! I mean, I know the times, they are a-changin', but man, this more than anything else has illustrated just how different they have become.
Jaime's nonstop hunger has not abated. A coworker of mine who has two cats (well, one is her cat, the other is her partner's cat) says that it's due to alpha behavior. When one of their cats died, one of the two remaining suddenly started eating nonstop. Her theory is that cats who do this are trying to bulk up in order to become the new alpha. It would make sense, I suppose, since Jaime has Talis to contend with, and Talis is nearly twice his weight.
LOL: How to Tell If Your Cat is Plotting to Kill You. Jaime does almost all these things except bringing me dead animals and throwing up grass, but that's only because he's not allowed outside. He also doesn't paw at my face while I sleep -- thank God, because his nails are SUPER sharp.

Totally and completely brilliant. The authenticity (such as I can tell) is amazing. Great actors, storylines, execution, etc. I don't know how this show ever got the greenlight (studio execs seem in general to be totally unimaginative and I can't even imagine pitching this show), but I'm glad it did. It deserves all the accolades it's gotten. It does take a few episodes to draw you in, and maybe more than that to get you totally hooked, but once you're in, you won't be sorry.
Edit: This is exactly what I think of Twilight.
