The good news is that Ravenwood has an open apartment directly across from Tim & Brantley's place. Bad news is they aren't sure when it will be open, but that they will know Friday. That does kind of cut things close, since we have to be out of here by the end of the month. Not like we can't be ready to move by then, just that we would prefer to have at least one day to actually do the move before Hunt Club tries to kick us out on our asses.
I personally am about through with the unstoppable tide of cockroaches of all sizes that have suddenly appeared this year. Last night, I went to change laundry, and glanced at the kitty food bowls. They were crawling with roaches. Literally eight or ten bugs per bowl, and more tooling around on the wall and floor nearby. There's no saving this place for us. The pre-packing continues.
Danielle loves her new job. The analogy best used to describe her time there is that of a 4-star general in the midst of a clumsy JROTC crew. The sheer scale reduction of space, duty and product amounts make her a giant among the people there, going on her previous bookstore experience. I dropped off an application there myself. Couldn't hurt, and they are opening two new locations before the year is out, and since both she and Tim work there, I have heard there's a number of openings, particularly in management.
Witty and Alex are... well, I won't say not getting along. What is happening is that Alex is pouncing Witty nearly every time they are in the same room together. This is, naturally, pissing Witty the fuck off. So far, though, he hasn't destroyed the little kitten, only thrown him down and repeatedly mauled him. Alex, however, thinks the whole thing is absolutely smashing and once he's subdued, typically gets up and pounces Witty immediately again. Eventually Witty either runs off or pummels Alex so hard he gets distracted by something else. (Yes, you read that right.) Alex also seems to be one of those rare kitties that likes water... absolutely peculiar, this little guy is. We also suspect he will grow up to be huge, perhaps even larger than Witty, though probably not as stocky.
Tim's D&D game goes fairly well, even though I am one of only two persons besides Tim who has made it to every game. I am playing my role as Mighty (1st level) Wizard pretty well. A lot better than the eldritch Warlock wielding arcane energies and curses and such, who generally gets beaten within an inch of his life nearly every encounter. He also got peed on. By me. Yeah, it's nice and wacky.
