It's nice to know I'm not alone!  The first time, 
I lost a Hikaru cel.  I tore the house apart, 
even looked through the garbage which was filled 
with chicken guts.  About six months later, she 
turned up exactly where I had looked for her many 
times.  Maybe she went to an alternate dimension?

The second time, I lost my Michael cel.  Over 
year later after much looking, I'd finally given 
up hope.  Then, I was moving my record albums and 
there he was, in between R.E.M. and Tori Amos.  
Go figure...
