--So many end-of-year memes popping up all over! I like those memes, and will probably do a couple, but I'm not sure when. Since meeting my Monday deadline, a corner of my brain has felt convinced that my time pressure has lifted, only not so much, brain. (I have a full volume to rewrite by next Wednesday and a half volume to do by next Friday. And ( Read more... )

Yesterday was my premeditated day off, and the only thing of significance I did with it was go to the local SPCA with

First topic: a pair of rec links.

Because I've been adding/getting to know more new people here and there over the last few months, and because my primary fandom--for Mira Grant's Newsflesh trilogy--remains very small (but slowly growing, I think?), here are links to two rec posts I've written for it, in case anyone is unfamiliar with the books ( Read more... )

We weighed the kittens for the first time in almost three weeks. Jinksy weighed in at 10.5 or 10.6 lbs, and Claudia...seems to be holding steady at 9.7 lbs. That just seems odd. O_o ( Read more... )

Things that don't actually help un-bork a sleep cycle: accidental four-hour nap in the middle of the day. >.< I'm not even sure what brought it on; I don't think I felt more tired than usual beforehand, even given that it was our turn to have Pumpkin here this morning. (A playdate that ends with all three of us in hammocks out back is nothing to be ( Read more... )

I forgot that I wanted to record this. *g* I'm putting it under a cut because it includes spoilers for the first half of X, but it's about something that happened when we had Pumpkin here on a playdate. ( Not exactly about X. And really not about the X movie, but I have this tag lying around collecting dust... )

Happy Hallowe'en and Samhain to people celebrating either or both. ^_^ We have only small plans, but we did start our morning by having a playdate with Pumpkin for a couple of hours, and she was more than willing to carve our jack o'lantern with us.

As you may have noticed, I suck at taking or uploading photos, but today is different! Go here for ( Read more... )
