I don't even know where to start. I have a kitten! His name is Ruxpin. I got him around August. He's adorable! He's about 6 mos old now, and getting so big. He's a med-length hair, black and white tuxedo with one sleeve missing - so from one side he looks like a regular tuxedo, and from the other he has a white front leg. I've already got him all his shots and got him neutered a month or so ago. He's sweet and adorable! Still scared of strangers though - it took me a while to get him to calm down around me. I got him from an older couple who were going to take him to the shelter. He was born in their backyard to a feral mother, and he was the only one they'd been able to tame.
The other two fell in love with him almost immediately. I was expecting a few days of hissing and growling, but within a day or so they were grooming him and playing with him. Merry (my orange tabby girl) also decided to let him suckle, even though she doesn't lactate. I thought it was cute at first, then I started to worry a little about mastitis. But now that he's bigger than her, she's finally starting to push him away and walk off when he tries. Yes, he still wants to nurse and he's huge! It looks rediculous. He's going to be a gigantic cat. His paws are twice the size of Pippin's, and he's already taller and longer than Merry. I'll totally post a picture later.
I started a juggling group in Houston creatively called "Houston Jugglers". I set it up through meetup.com. Made a cute logo and everything! First meeting was me and one other guy, who had a broken wrist. I'm hoping we'll have more show up next time. ;)
I also started a blog on the Houston Chronical website. It's creatively located at
http://commons.chron.com/jcaliff/blog. I know, I'm a fountain of creativity. I mainly started it there because it's not blocked from work. I also set up a thing so it'll post to my facebook. Might see if there's a way I can post them here, too. It would make it much easier to update here, that's for sure. At least for the non-personal, non-friendslocked stuff.
I offered to run a cel/goods collecting panel at Oni-con this year. I hadn't heard anything back, so I assumed it was rejected. Then just about half an hour ago, I got an email. It says:
Subject: Anime Cel panel
Panel Approved and scheduled.
And that's it. Literally. The convention is Halloween weekend. I have no idea which day, or what time. There's nothing posted on the web site. I have to work Friday, so I hope they don't try to schedule it then. I also scheduled my next juggling group meeting for that Sunday afternoon, which I can reschedule, but I need to know asap.
