Someone had a leisurely nap over the past weekend, but I didn’t get around to uploading this photo until now. >^..^< This seemingly small thing was symptomatic of the entire month of August, and then… It became September, and almost as if on cue, the temperature dropped about 10 degrees. I’m not quite ready to [...]

Whew! The past week was nuts, which meant no blogging for me! Why was it so crazy? It was the annual trek to Anime Expo (AX) in Los Angeles, California. It’s one of the biggest anime (Japanese animation) conventions in the United States, and I made the trip this year because my workplace had plans [...]

Finally! This is the weather I LOVE — hot and sunny! Now, some people who know me well will probably call foul regarding this statement, but I’ll counter that a.) I didn’t fully appreciate the warm weather when I lived down South, and b.) there’s always air conditioning. As you can see above, there is [...]

A significant portion of this week was devoted to work (natch) and keeping Kitty-mon from destroying her stitches. Per usual, she’s behaving herself in one area (not licking or scratching at them, at least around me), but totally misbehaving in another (running up and down the stairs so quickly — and heavily — that it [...]

This weekend was a traumatic one for my household. I took Kitty-mon, pictured above, to the vet. (No panic necessary; she’s fine. Read on for details.) I knew, going in, this appointment would be slightly more involved than a normal check up. In late December or early January, I noticed she had a skin tag [...]

A few weeks back, I purchased some treats for Josie — a new toy and new collar — in addition to her cat food, when I went to the pet supply store. This latest toy is one of those long wands with a string (and more fuzzy strings attached to it) that you flip and [...]

We’ve been threatened by the possibility of snow since Friday afternoon, but it didn’t start in earnest until sometime this morning. I woke up around 11 a.m., and the flakes were falling in such a way that I could actually see them through the window, even before I put on my glasses. For a split [...]

I’m challenging myself to averaging a post a day. So I present, the scene this morning, before she started running around like a lunakitty. :-) Sadly, this doesn’t quite show her new collar.

A long, long day, and I still have miles to go, but it’s cool. I’m working on a project that has me pretty excited. This is the third or fourth ARIA avatar in a row. I love this series and, in particular, the goofy faces the characters make. Alice looks positively scary here, doesn’t she? [...]

Another nutso week and another jam-packed weekend! Needless to say, this will be another bullet-point-filled post! – Wednesday was my mom’s birthday. So my brother and I conspired and got her a webcam. Now, she and I can talk — with video — via Skype! It’s something she never would have thought to buy for [...]
