So I went to get the mail a bit before 11 and as I’m unlocking the door to come back inside, I hear something inside the bedroom. It’s really loud. Loud enough that I actually pause to think “Did I leave the door unlocked? Am I being burgled?” So I open the door and nothing. No one. I turn on the bedroom light to see Goliath standing on one ( Read more... )

…is a name of a book Samantha likes and she says the name in a totally cute way. It’s also the name of the problem I’ve been lately. The house is full of bugs, no doubt due to the hot weather but I wish they’re stay outside. I was at Target today and invested in some raid which Ryan’s cousin so graciously picked out because, honestly, who knew they ( Read more... )

It’s just that everything is fucking pissing me off lately.

Yesterday the A/C stopped working. I think it took me a while to notice and by that time, night had fallen. No biggie. It wasn’t super hot so I i turned on the fan in the bedroom when I hit the hay and it was actually a really comfortable night. I call the office this morning and someone ( Read more... )

Not the good kind like “I found $20 in my winter coat pocket” but the “Oh, shit! The condom broke type.”

Despite the fact that we were told. Despite the fact that we should not have taken him home otherwise. Despite the fact that the adoption center was billed for it..

Phantom is not fixed.

No one needs to freak out like Samantha did when I told her I had a nose bleed. She start sobbing because she didn’t want me to die and wouldn’t believe I would be okay. Now, my sheets on the other hand haven’t done so well. I suppose it’s not big loss because they kept shrinking every time I put them in the wash anyway, so a new set would be nice ( Read more... )

(but the cats don’t give a damn anyway)

• batteries
• chapstick
• nail polish
• rugs

Ugh! Yesterday Phantom was running around with something stuck to the back of his leg. He would periodically stop to lick at it, but it wasn’t coming off. I grabbed him but only held onto him long enough to understand that he did not want me messing with it. It seems to be gone today, whatever it was.

I look over toward the bedroom door and Phantom has climbed up the door frame 3-4 feet and is just hanging there. Unfortunately, I couldn’t grab my camera fast enough.

don’t you do what your big brother does (you know, like the Elvis song ;))

One issue of our kitty dynamic is that Goliath seems to really admire his “older brother” and likes to imitate him. Phantom sits on the edge of the tub when I shower? So does Goliath. Phantom runs into the pantry when I open the door (we keep the food at the bottom), so does ( Read more... )
