I've edited this a bit, but Brandon is far more eloquent than me. It was a very sad day. We'd had Rasputin (Lauren called him 'Sputin) for almost 12 years. He was the smartest cat (a dangerous thing, indeed) I've ever had.

Sleep well, pretty boy.

Brandon stated it beautifully, and that poem at the end is tear jerking. In addendum: the new owners are quite nice, very young, and charming--most importantly, however, they love the house and all but pleaded with me to sell it to them. We left it in far better condition than when I bought it and it, too, is moving on to fresh, new memories.

I'll be moving across town in the next few months, into a fully-furnished house. This means I need to get rid of all of the furniture in my place, and much of the rest of the "stuff" there. As I'll be a co-owner of the new place, I have every right to expect some of my things to be incorporated into the otherwise BEAUTIFUL decor, things to help ( Read more... )

It's been a while since I posted on LJ, largely because it's been a hellish, eventful month.

My awesome boss was offered a new job. She'd told me I'd have a year working for her before she left, so I wasn't expecting her to leave well short of that. I don't blame her, mind you - it's a good move for her, I just wasn't ready to apply for her job - ( Read more... )

ABC, in cancelling what appears to all of its current prime time line-up, bagged one of my few TV guilty pleasures: Brothers and Sisters. It was sappy. It was melodramatic. It had pretty people. It had a pretty gay couple. It had Sally Field. It was, in many ways, the family I wanted: dysfunctional, crazy, but always forgiving in the end, who ( Read more... )

Random updates. Seems to be my way.

I survived a week of intensive, one-on-one French language classes. My brain has not ached so badly in a very long time. The teacher really pushed me, which was good, but IT HURT.

Why a week of intensive French? Thank Congress. Both parties equally guilty. It decided after 9/11 that the government didn't have ( Read more... )

So I'm kind of hooked on a new(ish) MMORPG, Rift. I've been really bored with WoW lately and the apparent implosion of the guild and Matthew and Elaine's absence has left me cold ( Read more... )

This one just tugs at my heart...

Hold On (Michael Buble)

Didn't they always say we were the lucky ones?
I guess that we were once
Babe, we were once

But luck will leave you cause
It is a faithless friend
And in the end when life has got you down
You've got someone here that you can wrap your arms around

So hold on to me tight
Hold on to me tonight
