I woke up this morning to this staring right at me:



That wasn't disconcerting at all, no! o.o


In other news, Hawaii 5-O continues their trouncing of NCIS: Los Angeles in the most-married-cop-partners competition. NCIS had an early lead, but then H5O took the field, and, well, TOOK THE FIELD OMG. Sam and Gee live in each other's pockets, but I'm pretty sure Steve and Danny live in each other's PANTS. I was pretty much in it for Grace Park at the beginning, but there's no reason I can't lust, hearteye AND slash all at once. (which is pretty much Danny and Steve's philosophy as far as I can tell. Not that they limit their hearting to their eyes.)

In other other news, LJ still won't let me reply to comments. Even when it's up and running in all other ways. I can do one or two, and then, kaput. I'm working on it though! (as I know they are)

I accidentally though to myself that my kitten looks a little like Adam in the pictures in my sidebar, and now I CANNOT STOP LAUGHING. It makes it really hard to look at my journal or my friends page or any of my posts.

*wipes tears*

and yes. I do realize that I am completely insane

eta. I feel the need to point out that I might NOT be literally weeping with laughter if bethctg2 hadn't agreed with me, and hadn't been laughing with me over the phone. so this is her fault. except I was the one who said it first

First a message for any of you Northern Californian kitten fans, jencat004, who handraised my gorgeous and most supremely lovey Inigo, has more kittens. They are ADORABLE and you should most seriously consider getting one. Head over to her journal and have a look at the adorableness even if you can't take one.


Second, BIRTHDAYS!
clex_monkie89 for yesterday, flawedamythyst for today, and twigletmoo for tomorrow. The happiest of happy days to all of you, and may the coming year bring you awesomeness.

I weighed Inigo this morning and he is now over 9 pounds! That's positively cat sized. *smishes him*

He's so long and lean still. Adorable teenage boy. *smishes him more*

( A couple pictures )

I was reading an article today in the New Yorker about the "lesbian" separatist movement in the 70s. Ariel Levy says (emphasis mine):

The feminist Ti-Grace Atkinson went so far as to claim that her brand of celibate "political lesbianism" was morally superior to the sexually active version practiced in her midst. Atkinson was not alone in this martyred line of reasoning; a 1975 essay by the separatist Barbara Lipschutz entitled "Nobody Needs to get Fucked" urges women to "free the libido from the tyranny of orgasm-seeking. Sometimes hugging is nicer." This argument was never particularly compelling to the lesbians in the movement who were actually gay.

Hilary Clinton is on my TV, wearing a largish gold pendant. Inigo is trying to play with it.

( Someone found an open drawer again )

all I could see from the sofa was a pair of ears in shadow over the edge of the drawer. Ah the addition of a flash and a zoom lens.

I went to get a pair of socks so I could go to class, and ...

I have been terribly remiss with birthdays this week!
Very happy birthday wishes to misskittye for the 22nd, and to kittyzams and deelaundry for tomorrow.




Happy Birthday, too, to Dean Winchester ;)


Also, while I'm getting out the pictures, I just need to mention that I am crazy and ridiculously in love with my insane cat. ( how am I to be expected to resist? )

and smooches to rejeneration who didn't even know that she was going to be helping me. It's been driving me INSANE not being able to have a different colour for visited and non-visited links on my journal (I'm dreadful with titles, and so it's super helpful when looking at recs posts and the newsletter), and I was about to come on and ask if someone knew the CSS for it, when I remembered that Jen so very kindly sent me CSS for the whole layout I was using in the summer, and I used my brain and went in and found the part I needed. Thank you, sweetie!

last, but not least, and mostly for my own records, links to this week's posts I made at that_other_show ( under here )

God, I'd hate to be a cat. SO MUCH HARD WORK!



( you even have to stretch out sometimes )

I spent about a minute and a half kissing his neck earlier, and he didn't so much as twitch. Though he did crack his eyes open enough to glare at me when I cackled earlier. I just can't resist his cuteness. I will stop spamming you with him some day soon, I'm sure.

( only four pictures, but cut for those on dialup )

He really is too adorable for words. He doesn't even mind when I kiss him all over his little head. And he's learned that biting me isn't happy-making, and only does little nips now, just to make sure I am paying attention to his adorable. He's also not scratched me since I got back. I think he learned how to play nicely from Greycat while I was gone. \o/

And now I am going to go work on fic. *nods*

ps. also, I made some Chloe Sullivan icons, but I can't choose which one to upload.
