Rick has a new hobby.  Behind the cut are Ginger and Bane.  (Yes, he did get Shadow up there, but it was well after I took these shots.)

These are taken in the computer room (which obviously we have yet to finish painting).

So I'm walking back to the computer room when I see Bane staring at the carpet runner (back by the litter box and washing machine/dryer), so I stop and take a look myself.  Then Shadow (pictured, with Ginger) gets in on the investigation.

I don't even want to know how she got under there so neatly. (Yeah, yeah, I need to vacuum.  Shut up.)

Something Rick posted on 11 September, which I found to be a vastly amusing version on what happened.  It's... very purple.

I finally decide to hang the curtains in our computer room, to help block out some of the heat from the afternoon/evening sun. Being the typical male perfectionist, I carefully measure the distance up from the floor for the ( Read more... )

...here I was, minding my own business, when I hear a deep, soulful meow.  And I thought to myself, "Self, Shadow has obviously seen something out the window, and may do something stupid like try to push the screen out.  I'd better investigate ( Read more... )

So, I finished Star Ocean 4 (but not post-game... yet).  It struck me as so odd how many times they were in the middle of a titanic battle, yet they talked and they talked and they talked... as people and ships were being blown to smithereens... and they talked and they talked and they talked....  Gah.  Still, horribly annoying voice acting aside ( ( Read more... )

So I'm sitting here minding my own business when Rick (who is over near the front door) says, "Shadow. Shadow ( Read more... )
