The fic's doing fine so far - finished the intro, about 2000 words. Not too shabby if I have to say so myself. :) Needs tweeking, have to fill it out a bit more in a few places, but I'm quite satisfied with it. Feels good.
Where do I get a beta though? Anyone here interested? Gotta find a beta community here somewhere, anyone got any tips?
J's hamster died this week - made a deep impression on J, poor kid. And on me, for that matter, he was a sweet little guy. Near two and a half years old, not a bad age for a hamster, even the vet was impressed. Well, I've decided not to bring anymore animals into the house for the time being. That was the plan, anyway, until last night. About 3 AM I heard soft meowing outside the living room window (which is always open, so our cats can come and go as they please), and there sat a strapping young fellow. A black boy, about seven or eight months I guess, and he apparently thought it a great idea to move in with us. I've thrown him out six times already, explaining the situation thoroughly to both him and J, who's been nagging about a kitten for two years now. The fact that we already have three cats isn't much of a reason, J thinks - there's always rom for one more, right?
It's been quiet for a few hours outside the window. Let's hope the lad finds his way home on his own. But if he was nowhere to go...well, can't let him wander around aimlessly in the rain, he'll only end up being hit by a car. An add in the local paper might be an idea. Hmm.
