Fernando's shadow

Ever present, even when he falls asleep on the couch...

anyone need a good blog idea

I've got two.

First--my friend Swissgirl takes photos of cats whenever she goes on vacation. Someone could start a blog of Cats On My Vacation. People could send in their photos.

Second--How My Favourite Character Lived. You could start a blog where each day/week you take a character people love, who has been killed off in a book/movie/comic etc., and figure out how they survived... all farfetched ideas welcome. Like Susan Sarandon who said, regarding the possibility of a Thelma and Lousie sequel: "We bounced!"

my insane and bigoted boyfriend comes to life on the Space channel!

If you're curious about Watchmen, but don't plan to read the comic... you can watch the comic! Space is going to be showing the cartoon version starting June 9. It's an animation of the original illustrations, overseen by the illustrator. As Mr. Scott would say: It's excitin'!

sometimes life just feels like one long to do list

- paid rent
- load of laundry
- running the dishwasher
- made almond cookies for ma bday

chorey chorey chorey

Alright, today I made an appt with my headache doctor, and washed up/vacuumed the kitchen and my bedroom. Now I shall eat pasta and hopefully do no more chores!!

chores chores chores... menowz

Another chore done: My new ipod battery arrived in the mail today, and I installed it. Right now my ipod loses most of its charge when just sitting around. So I can walk to work with it, it sits for 8 hours, and then it doesn't last more than 5 minutes into my walk home. Hopefully now I can frolick with it!

It cost $30 (they send you the battery, and the tools and instructions to replace it), but that's still cheaper than buying a new player, and anyway I'm happy with my mini. I like the size, GBs, the design, the scrollwheel, etc. I wouldn't recommend it, unless you like poking around the insides of things... which I do. (Now I know how my ipod looks nekkid!)

Next chore: More job applications have shown up online. Let's gooooo!

Just came back

from seeing Step-mommy to her car. It's so nice when she comes to visit--we love the Step-mommy, as do all our cats.

Unfortunately, her visits make Haley nostalgic for her home on the coast. When I got back to the apartment and opened the door, H went running down the hall: "Grammaaaa take me with youuuuuuu!"

(OK actually she runs down the hall every time I open the door... but it was funnier to imagine her crying out: Grammaaaa take me with youuuuuuu!")
