I'm just coming out of neutral mode... feeling a little less introspective today, but that doesn't mean I have anything to say ( Read more... )

Parsnip is a cutie. I used to have a white rat named Trochee.

Trochee?

explain please...

(Oh I saw HP again last night and noticed that Ivan is putting a spell on Krum in the background during the last challenge!!! It was done so subtly that I missed it the first time!)

Now I wanna see HP again! I got invited to see it again on Wednesday night but I really had to go home and pack and sleep in prep for my drive to the good ol' North State.

Trochee: A poetic unit of meter consisting of one stressed syllable followed by one unstressed syllable. She fit in well with my eldest cat (Villanelle, a poetic form in which the first and third lines of the first stanza are alternately repeated as the last lines of the following stanzas and the last two lines of the last stanza, also a character in a book by Jeanette Winterson and the source of my most commonly used online moniker and my previous LJ identity, vill). She also matched my middle cat (Sestina, a poetic form with six six-line stanzas in which the final word of each line of the first stanza are repeated in varying patterns as the final word of the following stanzas).

(The cats were afraid of the rat.)

(And my youngest cat is named Anastasia because she looks like a Russian blue but really she isn't.)

Cuuute little mouse. Nareau named our mouse Roswell, because he's gray. I wanted to name him Thor as an obscure Stargate reference, but alas. :)

LOL awesome... took me a second to realize who you meant by Thor!
Speaking of Asgardian Greys... isn't that Thor?

That's pretty close. But the SG greys are a bit different. Here's a decent piccy of Thor:

We just realized the other day that Michael Shanks (Daniel Jackson) does Thor's voice. We're in season 8 right now (got them all on dvd, phew) and should be able to watch season 9 when it starts. Man that show has been on forever.

Anyway. Must stop the geeking.

Catnip does seem like a very appropriate name. Heheheh.

Will you be? You should visit us at the Joli Rouge on Saturday. I've still yet to meet you. :)

Assuming you're talking about my Ashes.

Nope, sorry. Would love to see you, though. Don't we still have a visit waiting around for completion from summer?
